So, Thea, first to you, what do you make of the situation and whether there was a line crossed here with the parsing of lawyer and attorney?
3:54
Yeah, I mean, great question, Katie.

I think what you mentioned at the end is really the most operative thesis here, which is it's a real unfortunate distraction from the president's closing message in these midterm elections.
4:05
It's an unfortunate distraction.

I will say, if I understand the chronology correctly, I sat for the same exact bar exam summer of 2011, that's the year I graduated from law school, in the state of California.
4:16
I passed that exam.
4:18
But I'll say, look, the distinction between lawyer and attorney, that's not really the question here.
8:07
And what's wrong with just saying, I have a JD and I didn't pass the bar and I have no intention of taking it again?
