No 'My Cousin Vinny'? Unqualified.

Also I know this is satire, but if the White House did say this it would almost certainly come out a week later that she hadn't seen these movies either.

I'm pretty sure she spent most of the time very confused by all the polysyllabic words and high-level jurisprudence in those movies.

I initially thought the real briefing was an SNL skit.

I have more credits to my name. I've seen Erin Brockovic, Legally Blond (all of them, even the straight to dvd one), every Ace Attorney game, both Judgement games (Yakuza spin-off series about a lawyer), and Perry Mason. Not to mention Night Court.
