She later passed it no doubt after she explained she has a few drops of black blood and is thus ENTITLED to special treatment. But IMO, SC judges should not be third raters.

It's true that Harris failed the bar exam on her first attempt, per The New York Times. She later passed.
The bar exam is the qualifying examination for lawyers to receive a license to practice law in a given state.
California has a notoriously difficult bar exam. In 1985, the Los Angeles Times wrote that its pass rate "has generally hovered around 50%."
Harris graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1989.
Even now, the pass rate on the California Bar Examination averages out to approximately 50%.

oddly enough there is no requirement for any sort of legal certification to sit on the bench. That development (bar associations) came later in our history. anyone at all can be appointed.
of course it was assumed that the justice would actually be using the Constitution as the basis for their opinions which didnt last long.
I rather doubt she would want the job, there is actual work involved. Not her forte.

You idiots should understand, it is not easy to pass the Bar Exam despite rigorous college training as many did not pass it at the first try but with further preparations passed it on the second sitting such as former Attorney General of California and Senator and now Vice President Kamala Harris. Actually, I would not expect to pass this exam on the first try either at having an MBA degree:
Did Kamala Harris Fail The Bar Exam?
Yes, it is true Kamala Harris failed the bar exam the first time she took it. After graduating from the University of California, Hastings College of Law in 1989, she sat for the California Bar Exam. She failed it the first time she took it. She sat and passed on her next attempt, and was admitted to the California bar in 1990."

Granted, that footnote is a fairly common talking point in profiles of Harris. And to be fair, we’ve mentioned this footnote as well – back in March, when Samuel Chang included this quote in his article on how the decline of bar exam passage rates impacts law students:
If U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, former Dean of Stanford Law School Kathleen Sullivan, and two California Governors Jerry Brown and Pete Wilson could not pass on their first try but were widely successful as California’s attorney general, a top law school dean, and governors of our great state, what does that say of the bar?
Let’s ask that question again: What, exactly, does that say?
There are many higher profile examples of bar failures to add to these four Californians:
Hillary Clinton, also a former Senator, first lady, and presidential candidate (and only slightly connected with the topic of the recent Senate hearings), failed to pass the District of Columbia bar exam in 1973, the same year she passed the bar in Arkansas.
First Lady Michelle Obama failed the Illinois exam.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt failed the New York bar, passed it in 1907, and then dropped out of Columbia Law School (though he was posthumously given a J.D.).
There’s an urban legend out there that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo failed five times and passed on the sixth – though we might have to alert Snopes on this one. Western Michigan University Cooley Law School Distinguished Professor Emeritus Otto Stockmeyer has been dedicated in correcting that narrative, as is evidenced by his comments on separate posts that are seven years apart. (Update: Otto was 100 percent right. But it was a law librarian, not Snopes we needed to talk to.) But what is true is that Cardozo preceded Roosevelt in dropping out of Columbia Law (an unwitting participant in the James Comey portion of recent hearings).
John F. Kennedy Jr. failed twice in New York before passing.
Pat Robertson also failed in New York, and then became a mogul in Christian broadcasting and ran for president.
Notable mayors of the USA’s three largest cities – New York’s Ed Koch, Chicago’s Richard M. Daley, and Los Angeles’ Antonio Villaraigosa – all failed; Koch and Daley eventually passed.
Former governors Charlie Crist of Florida (also that state’s one-time attorney general) and Deval Patrick of Massachusetts missed the mark too.
Update to the list: Anthony Scaramucci, the new White House Director of Communications, failed the bar exam twice after graduating from Harvard Law.
There are others out there, including New York Governor David Paterson, the first blind governor of a U.S. state, who was unable to complete the New York bar exam due to a lack of accommodations for his lack of sight."

Actually, to pass the Bar the second time is a demonstration of academic excellence at the brink of brilliance.

The WOKE are actively at war with competence, so that is not at all a problem. Had it been she would have never been selected for VP.

The destruction of America does not seem to be a bug, but rather the feature.
