Who is the most educated Supreme Court Justice?

[Calthrina950]

Ben Sasse has five degrees from Ivy League institutions. Who cares.

I agree with this. Degrees do not necessarily indicate intelligence. There are many people who have fewer, or no degrees at all, who have a lot more common sense and practical knowledge than those who do have degrees.

Cruz and Bush are further examples.

Examples of people without common sense but with degrees?

Yeah I meant for them to be examples of your first sentence. I guess I didn't make that clear.

I see. And by "Bush", do you mean both George W. and Jeb? I think one could reasonably say that both lack common sense.

Hehe I meant George W. But sure, include Jeb if you wish.

"In the 1960s there was a young man who had just graduated from the University of Michigan who was doing brilliant work in mathematics, specifically bounded harmonic functions.  Then he went to Berkeley, where he was an assistant professor and showed amazing potential.  Then he moved to Montana and blew the competition away."

Who?

This guy.

For the confused, it’s a joke of sorts from acclaimed film “Good Will Hunting”.
