[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading today's WaPo article about his texts with his former friend from law school who is trans, I feel even worse for Usha.  Apparently this is not the guy she married, [b]but now she has three young kids with him and probably still loves him.[/b]  I noticed the part where he was texting that she was worried she wouldn't get a S Ct clerkship offer because she's so apolitical and didn't have any idelogical strings.  Poor thing just wanted to be a super rich IP lawyer or maybe transition into a nice spot in academia at YLS or HLS or a judicial appointment on the Fed Circuit eventually .... and here she is at the center of the culture wars.  I wonder if they are having "discussions" about whether the oldest kid is preparing for First Communion.  [/quote]

Elite law school students don't always pair and marry for love, especially not the politics-bound.[/quote]

You’re really wrong.  I went to YLS and my spouse went to HlS and I know lots and lots of elite law school students including Supreme Court clerks.  I don’t know anyone that didn’t marry for love.  Of course some of us made bad decisions regardless and intellectual accomplishments are sometimes part of love.  But no one is marrying for the political/professional connections.  And if you went to YlS, you don’t need to.  It’s people who didn’t go to elite schools that need to marry for the connections.

If you think some people at these schools aren't bearing this in mind, you're wrong. If you think Obama didn't factor that Michelle would help his appeal and presidential aspirations, you're wrong. [/quote]

+1. And vice versa.[/quote]
