I think Rachael Maddow should work for the Justice Department

[Nikki28]

She would have made some arrest in the Jan 6 investigation and finally hold some of these people who refuse to testify in contempt. We need someone with a brain like hers to add some faith in this system.Just listening to her ,I realize I feel the same way as to where is the action for these people because time is running out .

[Sneederbunk]

1. No. She would not be free to act.

[SoCalDavidS]

2. Slight Pay Cut

MSNBC had to back up a Brinks truck and meet her other demands, just to keep her.

3. Haha, I never would of thought of something like that, but, yeah, why not!!

Or go for the Supreme Court?!

8. It helps to be a lawyer first if you want a Supreme Court appointment. She isn't one.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Oh, I thought Rachel WAS a lawyer... nm.

[Ocelot II]

13. She has a Ph.D. in political science, not a law degree.

Even just having a law degree wouldn't be enough.

4. Rachel has an awesome research staff working for her

Yes I agree that she's very smart, but we all know that her one-hour show is the result of many bright people, not just Rachel. If she worked for the Dept. of Justice then she'd have to go by their rules. But luckily for us, she can tell us stuff that the feds can't reveal unless they break the law.

[Ocelot II]

7. She can't tell us stuff the feds can't reveal because she doesn't know that stuff either.

That's because the feds can't reveal it, duh. She can explain processes and present experts who can opine about what's going on, but she doesn't have any more access to federal investigations than anyone else.

9. I was responding to Nikki, but sorry if it didn't make sense to you

5. Supreme Court Justice

[Ocelot II]

6. You do know that she's not a lawyer, nor does she even play one on TV..

She belongs exactly where she is.

[brooklynite]

11. zzzzzzzzz.......

News personality fandom taken too far.

[Ocelot II]

12. Exactly. Seems like whenever a competent liberal media talking head appears,

it's "Ooh! Ooh! He/she should be on the Supreme Court!" (or run for president, or do some other thing for which they are not at all qualified). Why not acknowledge that these people are good at what they do and accept that they should just keep doing it? And advocate for public office or the judiciary people who are actually experienced and qualified? Rachel Maddow is exactly where she should be.

[Hekate]

14. Rachel's career choice has unique protections & is mentioned in the Constitution itself...

So, no. She is much better for us as the news-gatherer and public voice that she is.
