Every word out their mouths is just so stupid.
What an elitist thing to say. Someone who comes from JD Vance's background is bound to have different thoughts and opinions than you. Sorry, he wasn't raised in a "well-to-do" town like DC with intense parents controlling every aspect of his childhood.
So he's a DEI candidate huh?
The DEI candidate is Kamala. She checks three boxes, and one of them is suspect since Asians don't need DEI.

I know a few authors who the started with an introduction to a publisher. Publisher paid them an advance, coached them, paired them with a ghost writer and all that.
Obama’s ascent was pretty random too. I wonder who made the introductions for him. His memoir, which made him nationally famous; paired with a randomly open senate seat; his speech that catapulted him forward in politics….. Bam, the rest is history.
I marvel at these connections. Especially the Hollywood-Publishing World connections to aspiring political leaders. And a lot of fate and opportunism. A lot of shoulder tapping and basic commerce.

Yeah, these two grifters plus Kavanaugh’s demeanor and entitlement during Dr. Blasey fords testimony doesn’t make Yale law look great for character. Throw in prof Chua and her disgraced husband prof Rubenfeld’s creepiness. All looks bad.
I think these two did worse than Vance for their reputation. Any school can have embarrassing alumni (looking at Miller out of Duke…) but self confessed abuser Amy Chua and her sex pest husband were choices Yale made.

Harvard lawyers are actually worse.

As for Yale Law, the Supreme Court almost exclusively takes clerks from Yale and it seems like you have to go to Yale if you want a tenured faculty position in any top 100 law school.
Totally untrue re Supreme Court. Harvard supplies a lot of clerks too, and there are at least two justices who claim they refuse to hire from either law school.
It is true that YLS prides itself on churning out law professors and a significant number of students who go there, arrive intending to teach law. (Which is bizarre to me and one reason I did not enjoy my time at YLS - I wanted to be a practicing lawyer and had, and have, no political aspirations or connections.)
You seem boring.
In this poster defense, lawyers are excruciatingly boring whatever they went to law school.
