While all SCOTUS Justices attended Harvard or Yale, Thomas and Scalia did their undergraduate and much more formative years at Holy Cross and Georgetown respectively.Neither school when these justices attended, was considered an elite school. They were attended mostly by first college generation Catholic men. One thing both had in common was that their education was organized under the framework of the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum. A rigorous structure which required an answer to the question “Why” to defend every student response and opinion. While this method has eroded a bit through the years, when these two Justices attended their undergraduate schools the Ratio Studiorum was alive and well.
Yale has instituted an annual “Sex Week at Yale,” should read instituted anal sex week at Yale. This is the new norm the left is pushing.
In Canada people are rebelling:
“It is unconscionable to teach eight-year-old children same-sex marriage, sexual orientation and gender identity,” said Charles McVety, head of the Canada Christian College. “It is even more absurd to subject sixth graders to instruction on the pleasures of masturbation, vaginal lubrication, and 12-year-olds to lessons on oral sex and anal intercourse.”
But it’s all coming from the universities which will try to influence government.
Last I checked, Evangelical Christians were about 20-25% of the population.
As far as folks in elite positions generally coming from the Ivys or the Chicago/Northwesterns/Stamfords, etc., hasn't this been the case for a century and a half? Admission is greatly tied to SAT scores, so the "cognitive elite" tend to attend such institutions.
Since it does impact how she may rule on gay and lesbian issues, I wonder what the exact wording should be to ask her I can think of some fun ones that are repeatable on this site, however there has to be a diplomatic and legal way to pull that question off as it is important to cases that could present before the court in the future.
lol. Yes. But practicing all the same. :-).
My God she is unattractive. Makes Sodameyer look like a beauty queen.
I’m a Harvard alum, but from one of the professional departments (i.e., not the ones infested with radicalism).
I’m a social conservative, Lutheran covert to Orthodox Christianity, pro-Serb, pro-Arizona, pro-American, totally anti-obama. Go figure!!!!
Democrat administrations are stocked with Ivy Leagers. Always have been.
Leagers = leaguers
The circle is not complete.
By extension most “elected” politicians are their enablers. They make policy not in the citizens’ best interests but in their own mega corporate and secular self interest.
Scary.
Maybe it was her brother or someone. LOL - you know - just for looks.
Did you hear about her nomination on the radio, or see it on TV? I'm guessing you must have HEARD it because SEEING is believing!! . She's 50 and doesnt have a man/family....the top two searches under her name are "husband" and "marriage" ....A LOT of people are asking the same question...
One of the great ironies of this administration is that it hires from PRIVATE universities while they insist that government is the solution to all of our problems. If the government is the answer to all of our problems, why do they keep going to the PRIVATE university system. What is wrong with the great government university system that we all pay for?????????
Believe me, Bryan would not be welcome at either place.
He spoke for folks outside the northeast who didn’t have a lot of money.
They don’t let more than a token number of people like that into those places. No one there wants to associate with the little people like that.
Besides, Bryan didn’t like the money houses. Lots of Harvard and Yale types make their money on Wall Street or in Hedge Funds located in Connecticut.
Nope, Bryan would not be welcome.
Look to see if she wears a thumb ring!
Incredible that of the hundreds of law schools in the entire country, only two will have alumni on the SCOTUS!!!
Traditionally, there had been some geographical diversity on the SCOTUS because it made good political and practical sense: not all the legal wisdom of the country comes from a single region. Apparently, today's left elitists don't give a hoot about anyone who doesn't have Ivy league credentials.
Well, at least the Ivy League still can't play football very well - at least for the last 60 years!!!
In fact, graduates from the Ivies often do not perform as well on standardized tests as do students from lesser name universities. Somehow I don't believe Al Gore's SAT scores were above the 95th percentile.
Incidentally, if you heard any of Obama’s recent graduation address you heard him say ...”rather than the means of e-pants-ipation” (he was supposed to say ‘emancipation’). So much for assuming that an education at an Ivy makes you one of the smartest people in the world.
According to the article, Obama never published anything as first black president of the Harvard Law Review, and unlike Bush, Kerry and McCain, his grades have never been released.
Yet, the mainstream media never actually even TRIED to investigate these.
