A Piece of Paper

What qualifies an individual to perform a certain job or task?  Is it attendance at a four year school, where a Bachelor’s degree may be awarded?  Is it testable knowledge, in the form of a multiple choice and essay exam, which is then graded on a pass or fail basis, with a license either awarded or denied?  Or is it demonstratable proficiency and knowledge, demonstrated on the job, performing in a capacity where one’s skills are utilized in the profession which the job holder performs?

I think it should be the latter of the three, mentioned above, but for Thomas B. Griffith, the qualification is going to hinge on a piece of paper.

“Judicial Nominee Practiced Law Without License in Utah."

I’m certain he’ll be strung up.
