... another of your honorable peers with Juris Doctor degrees, Lamar.  That would be Richard M. Nixon, Esq., Duke Law Class of 1937.  I think I would trade him for Biden, or better yet they could be on the ACC First Alumni Team of Embarassments to the Bar.

Another member of that team is Ted Kennedy - kicked out of Harvard (readmitted later) for cheating. He spent his rehabilitation time in the army, his family's political pull wasn't powerful enough to keep him in army intelligence, but it did manage to get him a posh position in Europe (rather than a cold position in the Korean War).
My undergrad alma mater (the University of Virginia), known for its stringent honor system, was forgiving enough to overlook Kennedy's cheating past (and gracious enough to accept some generous Kennedy donations), and admitted him to its law school. While there, he had a couple of incidents of cutting off his car lights and unsuccessfully trying to outrun the law (while not having an operator's license) - honing the skills he displayed after failing to negotiate a little bridge on Chappaquiddick.
But the ACC can't claim as an alumnus a president of the United States who was disbarred while in office!
At least porno work is honorablehonest employment!
