I thought JAG paid for your law school and you commit to serving years after? How did she get out of that?

It always seemed obvious the entire family are shameless opportunists who will lie and cheat to get ahead.

She deferred. Of course the military will let a lawyer defer in order to clerk for a judge, an appellate judge or a Supreme Court justice.

Except there’s a poster on this thread who said her husband had to turn down a clerkship because the ROTC wouldn’t let him defer. So maybe some ROTC are more equal than others.

You can *participate* in ROTC all through college without taking the scholarship or stipend, ergo signing up for service. Maybe that’s what she did? Or did she go off to officer training or whatever already before law school?

She was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant 4 years ago at her Harvard graduation. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/05/graduating-to-a-life-in-service/

Tiger cub not take the money? Are you kidding?

Where did you get that she is getting out of her ROTC obligation? Unless you have real evidence, again you are spreading rumors.

She can fulfill her obligation part time or full time after she is done with this 1 year clerkship. She doesn't have to join the military immediately upon graduation.

This. In fact, sometimes a new grad going in the Reserves may have to wait over a year for training. It doesn't cut short the obligation. It just extends it.

Finally - normal people have entered the thread.

Of course, at Ivy League schools, tuition is quite a savings. Doubtful that ROTC paid full price, though.

Tuition, books and a stipend is everything. What else is there?

Dresses and feminine clothes to impress Kavanaugh. That probably wasn't covered.

You are a misogynist and disgusting person.

The last sentence answers your questions.

And Republicans don’t expect that their own will follow through with military commitments. That’s for the little people. Important people are... too important.

Really? Is that why the vast majority of the military are Republicans? SMDH.

Republicans have no problem screwing over little people. Even Republicans. Let’s talk trade Wars. But important (is rich) Republicans are faced with something inconvenient, they get a pass. Like Cadet Bone spurs and Sophia.

Lots of military boards where people discuss whether to go JAG or not precisely because it normally requires you being service right after graduation, and you can’t clerk. Let alone do two clerkships.

This. The issue is whether tiger Daugherty is getting a pass to do a clerkship because she’s well connected.

This young woman graduated Yale and was selected by Kavanaugh as an appellate clerk before his appointment to SCOTUS and before the op ed her mother wrote.

The outrage here is ridiculous.

Exactly. The outraged are in full force these days. Must be exhausting.

Yep. I’m outraged the the elite get their tuition paid to an Ivy and then get to skip military service.

I’m amused that Dems have become the party standing up for the military.

And all the outrageousness coming out of the gritfty swamp is exhausting. I can not wait for a smart, ethical, strong POTUS. Instead of a whimsy grifter with a grifty family, a grifty cabinet and grifty hangers on.
