I agree.

I distrust this particular Justice, I don't approve of Tiger Mother's use of influence, but the level of anti-Brett, anti-Amy hysterics on this thread is not justified.

Move on.

Move on from the announcement that was made yesterday? Yeah probably time for another Benghazi hearing or something. Hey tell me again about the electoral college victory.

No I think this is the perfect moment to talk about how the swamp works and how it continually advantages those who swim in it and disadvantages those who don't.

Psst. They want you to move on, because this selection makes Kavanaugh look bad. Look somewhere else--at that squirrel perhaps.

I guarantee you that if you look at the clerks who other SCOTUS justices select, you would see a lot of them choose candidates who they have selected in the past to clerk for them. Probably more than not.

There's so much in this interview tiger cub did at Harvard, I don't even know where to start.

At the Visitas activities fair shortly after the book was published, Chua-Rubenfeld noticed a booth promoting Harvard’s ROTC program. Before then, Chua-Rubenfeld, whose parents are both law professors at Yale, had never considered army duty. “At the time I was having major, major angst,” she says. “Am I ever going to earn anything for myself again? Is there ever going to be merit in my life? Will everything be handed to me on a silver platter because of my parents?”

She plans to attend law school after graduation and wants to practice law during her three-year commitment to the army, either prosecuting for the military commission or against sexual harassment.

The swamp releived her of her duty to the country, most likely.

IMO her getting out of Her ROTC obligation is the big scandal. The tax payers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on her Ivy League education. And now she gets to???? Take not one but two deferrals?? Bone spur her way out of her obligation? Have Kav or her mommy get her out?

An obligation to the army isn’t supposed to be optional. Unless you are the swamp, I guess.

I'm sure she will fulfill her obligations at some point, but if the PP who says that her DH had to turn down a clerkship due to ROTC obligations is correct, then it's not fair that she's getting special privileges.

What are you babbling about? You're not ok with illegals sneaking into the country to make a better life for themselves, but tiger girl gets a 4 year Ivy League education paid for by the US taxpayers and doesn't have to serve any time in the military?
