I think it was a good idea in theory at the aggregate to regulate the procedures for applying because it helped both applicants and chambers alike in simplifying and streamlining the process, but the individual desire to cheat was just too high. Quite sad.

In sum, thanks a lot Obama.

i think you misread this. the article says they're discontinuing the hiring of law clerks.
