Geez, sink. Mark Levin, JD also runs a legal foundation, Landmark Legal, a government watchdog group which works tirelessly on behalf of conservative causes. Landmark has litigated a number of cases up to and before the US Supreme Court. It's was one of the first groups to file amicus brief in support of Virginia's suit challenging Obamacare. Thank God he's out here, folks.

I have no idea what he said. If he's not pimping a book, he's trashing other Republicans. I haven't listened to his show or read anything he's written in two years.

But, continue attacking the messenger. It worked for Bill Clinton.

None of that means that he should be called a "doctor," though. Unless we should start addressing Barack and Michelle Obama as "doctors."

I like him, I respect his knowledge, and his thoughts. I don't care for his program. He's too aggressive, arrogant, and dismissive for my tastes, but I don't begrudge those who like him.

Sinkspur's criticism comes across as petty, making him appear to be jealous, or just a small personality.

I get that. As much as I do enjoy him, I have to take him in measured doses myself. I find if I listen to him too often, or for too long, I get very worked up and agitated. I have a need for a bit more peacefulness in my life at the present.

If you are interested, Replies #2 & #4 have his commentary that is germane to the topic of this thread. They are right here for you, you don't have to bother going out of your way to listen to them.

Dr. Hillary Clinton

Dr. Ted Cruz

It's ridiculous to call an attorney a "doctor."

That's a good characterization of my response to his show, too. Sometimes I just have to turn it off, listen to classical and untangle my nerves.

I know he loves dogs and wrote a wonderful book about one of his dogs. So maybe his snarling personality on the radio is just his schtick.

Wonder what they are calling that guy in Portland that let his 22 pound cat trap him in the bathroom and call 9-1-1?

Uhmm, excuse me, ...

... as someone who does have a JD, and an LLM, I have to say that calling someone with a JD "doctor" is like conflating a bachelor's degree with a PhD. The JD was the in-your-face replacement for the old - honest - law degree, the LLB, aka, Bachelor of Laws. That's why the LLM, aka Master of Laws, comes after, not before, the JD. The law school equivalent of the PhD - the "doctoral" degree - is the JSD, the Doctor of Juridical Science.

There is no real equivalent to the JD in the normal college > grad school > doctorate progression. The closest one could come would be to analogize it to an associate degree - the degree that's frequently received from two-year colleges; that is, the JD is sort of like an associate master's degree - higher up the chain than a bachelor's degree, but still less than a master's degree.

In point of fact, calling a lawyer "doctor" on account of his having a JD is even more facetious than calling a lawyer "esquire" - and doubly so if the lawyer calls him or her self that.

If I may jump in here I believe Sean Hannity started this...IIRC....he always refers to Mark as Dr Levine....it was meant as a joke and not to be taken seriously....

In truth, I prefer to refer to a collection or gathering of lawyers a "herd of cats". I do not say this as an insult, either. More, an observation.
