[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be embarrassed to accept the clerkship given the circumstances. Eventhough she went to Yale, she clearly isn't that bright.[/quote]

I'm OP - and I'm sure she's very bright. Probably deserving of a Sup Ct clerkship, as much as any bright young lawyer would be.

The thing is that with her mother's op-ed, and her mother's job, and her mother's history, it just looks gross and shady. It's one of those things where even if she could prove that she deserved this plum gig more than anyone else in the world, she'd still look like she got there in a tit-for-tat scheme. Or that she got an unfair leg up.

Imagine being her classmate, with the same grades, the same diligence, and seeing her mother funnel her into this job while you have to get there on your own.

Now it's hard to play a violin for any Yale Law School grad. They are the elite! They have opportunities no one else has. Pity the poor YLS grad who has to do some lesser federal clerkship instead of the Sup Ct. But all the same. It's a really bad look. And possibly worse. But at least a really bad look.[/quote]
