I don't have anything personal against Chris -- more because I can't be bothered as opposed to me actively liking him in any way -- but something must be made clear: he is flaunting a degree mill J.D. as if it is a degree from an actual law school. Given sufficient effort, everyone on this board could be a lawyer in the minimal sense of obtaining a J.D. from one of the nether-ranked schools as Chris has done.
Perhaps he has been able to leverage the degree mill J.D. effectively, in which case I applaud him. God bless him and may he live to be one hundred (how many posts will he have by then?). All I'm saying is that we ought to place the accomplishment into its proper perspective, far removed from such accomplishments as graduating from a top 14 school (or top 25, or 50, or 75, or 100, or 125, or 140, etc.). It isn't equitable to lump all lawlerly achievements together as if they are on the same plane, nor to pretend as much either directly or via implicature if one is a member of the club.
