Please.

That elitism allegation has been floated before and has been shot down.

Those you have listed supported Janice Rogers Brown's nomination for the Appellate Court, for instance, and she was certainly not from an Ivy League school and they would have supported her for being nominated to the Supreme Court.

I heard Laura Ingraham say on her radio show that she has no problem supporting a woman from a non Ivy League school.

The issue with them is that Miers has no track record as being an originalist/strict constructionist, not that she didn't go to any Ivy League school.

Try again later.

And has no claim to the position other than being a Bush crony. Reason enough the Senate should reject her nomination. Hopefully they are reviewing the Federalist papers.

But would they have supported her for nomination to the California Supreme Court when she was the first person ever nominated to that court who was rated 'Not Qualified' because of lack of judicial experience?
