Mentally retarded lawyers…yes, a target rich environment, compliments of the incompetents at DOJ.

-Jim+

The current head of the DOJ is presumably mentally competent, but otherwise utterly incompetent. Possibly people who are less “brilliant” could do a better job.

Wait, didn’t the White House Chief of Staff just say something as if there were something bad about retardation? I’m confused.

Don’t let Andrew Sullivan see this! He might have much to say about the political uses of mental retardation, might’n he?

isn’t retarded attorney an oxymoron?

The shameful and hate-filled displays of Jurisdoctaphobia on this site are quite shocking. God made some of us to be lawyers. We might find what they do to be ‘icky’ but that simply means we’re oriented differently. Biblical condemnations of lawyers generally involve disputes over temple prostitution & idolatry. They don’t condemn the profession per se. It’s time to let lawyers take their rightful place with all the baptized, and offer their services as a ministry to the church. It’s time to stand up with the marginalized as they say “I’m a lawyer, and I’m proud! Get over it!”

Nor is the UK behind in non-discriminatory, inclusive diversity initiatives.

Taxi driver applications in Braille? That’s hilarious, and scary.

Barney,

A “retarded attorney” is not an oxymoron. It is a tautology.

Don’t forget the mentally ill attorneys, either!

Tautology alert? (Sorry, Dale! (Price) )

Carl –

As a temple prostitute, I resent your maligning of my chosen lifestyle.

Well the UK just narrowly avoided passing laws to prohibit religious organizations from discriminating in their hiring based on religious affiliation.

For that matter, it seems discriminatory to require that politicians be citizens of the countries they govern, or that academics have certain levels of education, or that airplane pilots have good vision… the list goes on and on.

We are a shockingly discriminatory society.

“As a temple prostitute…”
If this were true, you would have correctly identified yourself as a Religious Sex Industry Worker. Such a seemingly minor slip betrays your deception.

“… I resent your maligning of my chosen lifestyle.”
I was only maligning Religious Sex Industry Work that is not mutual, and loving, and monogamous.

The problem is not ‘being a lawyer’. It is performing those lawyerly acts.

“The Civil Rights Division encourages qualified applicants with targeted disabilities to apply. Targeted disabilities are deafness, blindness, missing extremities,…”

Ummm, so a guy with no arms and no legs who’e lying on your doorstep is just a DOJ attorney?

(Yeah, I know his name is “Matt”, but that’s a side issue.)

Was Rahm Emanuel addressing a bunch of DOJ lawyers?

Why not expand the list of targets to include psychopaths?

Or is this taken for granted in the legal profession.

Little Myrmidon, don’t forget Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil – blind, an attorney, and a superhero to boot!
