...not one of incompetence. I think he graduated from an Ivy League college? Of course, there are always exceptions. I would like to see Republican women stand up a little straighter and stop bowing down to their criminal overlords.

only proves that you have a degree from an Ivy League college. It does not prove you are smart. It proves you had enough influence to get in, then survived long enough to graduate. (Quote from my brother, who went to Harvard on scholarship, then to Columbia Law, and did quite well, but knows exactly what he's talking about.) I mean, look at Rafaelito Cruz as an example.

UK for an additional degree in law.

In 1988, Governor Buddy Roemer selected Kennedy to serve as special legal counsel and later appointed him Secretary of the Cabinet. He left Roemer's staff in 1991 to run for state attorney general as a Democrat.

In 1999, he was elected state treasurer; he was reelected in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2015. Kennedy ran for U.S. Senate in 2004 and 2008.

In August 2007, he became a Republican.
