What I hope Adam Schiff's exemplary performance shows is the importance of co-equal branches

3. It also shows the importance

of having smart, educated people elected to roles and placed into the right positions

I keep saying this, but Schiff has a law degree from Harvard and experience as a US Attorney, while Nunes has a degree in agribusiness and is suing a fake cow. And, it's telling that the heavy hitter the GOP re-assigned to Intelligence is Jim Jordan, a guy who could NOT pass the bar exam and has his law degree from Capital University Law School, a law school not rated among the top 100 in the nation.

If you go through the major committees, you'll see far more members on the Democratic side with law degrees from top flight law schools and experience practicing law than you do on the Republican side.

While a degree from a top school doesn't always mean you're smarter, the preponderance of evidence shown by the performance of the Democrats vs the Republicans this week shows that it does matter.
