I think it's interesting to say she is out of her depth? What would you prefer?

Someone with at least a decade of experience in non-academic law. Or at least 5....

I am all about academics. I think intelligentsia is undervalued in America. But not all skills in academia transfer to industry/gov, and you need new ones too that can only be built with experience. She is people's boss ffs. Would you want your boss in government to be someone that has never had a leadership position in government????

Or even just managing a team.

I'm honestly not sure. I think I would say if she was in the industry for too long she is tainted as well. I was anti Ajit Pai as well for example.

I don't know what's worse her having too little experience or too much.
