Roberts is mocked: "To think that a boy from an exclusive prep school and Harvard Law could grow up and be nominated for the Supreme Court — it shows how in America it's possible to rise from privilege to power!"

But, how many of us who went to ordinary High Schools and mediocre law schools could have delivered the brilliant repostes that have come form Judge Roberts?

Araham Lincoln did.

[bmwcyle]

Kristinn Taylor can.

Judge Roberts did go to an ordinary High School in Indiana.

This is one of those things you read and just kind of circle around trying to decide to laugh or get PO'ed.

Or, at some point during our attendace at such ordinary schools, have learned to spell "riposte"?

IMHO, Roberts is brilliant and I would support him as Supreme Court Justice.

I am just thankful the good Lord blessed our Country with men of wisdom, regardless of where they got their education. You can't buy brains, common sense or compassion.

I've seen excellent in folks all across America those from humble beginnings, ala Condi Rice to those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths like George W. Bush.

I've also seen America's worse, like Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer.
