He sounds like a great candidate. But, it has become with me, when ever I see that someone has gone to an Ivy League school I’m suspicious of them. They no longer impress. But, give me a sort of science fiction type dread as if they have been processed by an alien life form. I guess Ihave grown into an anti- intellectual after witnessing the damage these people have inflicted on the country. Using their diplomas as a type of badge of superiority and as shield to deflect any criticism of them.

Yep, most everything printed in that article ‘sounds’ good and conservative.

However, the fact that he was the founding editor of the Harvard LATINO Law Review gives one pause for concern. It’s fine for someone to be proud of their ethnicity, but I get really suspicious when they feel the need to separate their ethnic group from everyone else instead of helping the group assimilate with the rest of society. It’s like in Congress where they have a Black Caucus, an Hispanic Caucus, etc., wherein it separates a whole into parts.

What are his positions regarding illegal aliens and amnesty?

He went to Princeton, then Harvard Law, became founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review ...


That statement really bothers me. Why exactly, would Harvard need a LATINO law review?

I don’t care what anyone thinks but it points out the fact that he came to a fork in the road and decided not to take the American road. I smell an activist here.

Yeah, that’s understandable, for many reasons. There have been some real duds in politics coming out of those schools. But I think it’s important to remember that a fair amount of top Conservative legal thinkers went to the Ivies (including all those on SCOTUS).
