Elena Kagan nominated to replace Stevens

That's really a bummer. If only she had been nominated to be a Federal judge, we'd all have more information. What's that? Oh, well if she was nominated and rejected by the Senate, I suppose we can consider that, now, too. What's that. Oh, nevermind, then.

bitch can't keep a job

 

Never let it be said that Rehnquist didn't know his Gilbert and Sullivan.

 

Honestly, I don't really take anything you post seriously. Under both of your handles, you're so partisan that it affects your intellectual honesty on par with O_T and any other rampant partisans on SportsJournalists.com. Obviously Brooks is partisan. And he probably treated the two differently, as all partisans do. Including you. But regardless of who it came from, I think there's a kernel of truth about our system being so steeped with land mines that a brilliant person has to keep her legal thoughts secret for 30 years so as not to torpedo her Court chances.

Looking forward to my next PM from you about how I "outed" someone by noting that he used to post under his own name here. Talk about wrong.

 

Make that three handles.

 

I read where all the judges will be from either Yale or Harvard Law School. (I think Ginsburg? transferred and graduated from Cornell or some other Ivy League school).

Not that I'm anti-intellecutal or whatever. Just interesting.

 

I'm sure Columbia loves to keep reading that all nine justices went to Harvard or Yale.

 

Either way, I guess you gotta be kinda smart and stuff.

I bet they totally aced there SATs.

 

On the "Jews from Flatbush who went to Cornell undergrad and Columbia law" list, I think that she ranks slightly above me in career achievement. I have heard her speak about her treatment as a female law student/graduate, and while the stories are not as bad as what O'Connor tells from Stanford, it is amazing how far the legal profession has come (or how backwards it was) in 50 years.
