The drag is watching Senator Blackburn decide she’s an intellectual equal to Judge Jackson without having put in any of the work.

My dad is one of the smartest people I know, and he didn’t finish high school. But my dad would never try to think he’s capable of going up against a recent college physics graduate on the subject of quantum mechanics just because he knows how to fix a car.

I was a professional software developer while I was getting my degree in computer science. And there were a number of people with degrees who didn’t know as much as I did. But I also worked with people, and the books I read were by people, who I couldn’t come close to until I had put in the hard work of getting my bachelor’s and master’s (? apostrophes).

So yes, when certain people, like Congresspeople, decided to throw their intellectual prowess around, their education level is fair game. Because if it isn’t, there’s no reason to favor a climate scientist over Ted Cruz.
