I've known some very intelligent and wise people who studied at Ivy League universities and some real morons too. Furthermore, many colleges are equal or better an those--Stanford, Duke, Texas, UNC, UVa come immediately to mind. And the most financially successful people in America generally didn't attend such schools.
It's dolts like the anti-Trump bigmouths who are impressed with the Ivy League--and other affectations.
But are they movin’ and a-groovin’?

She and Biden think they are :-)
I will add this.
Any R that at any point opposes or slows this process or votes against T’s nominee, should be reassigned to the Senate Select Special Subcommittee for Cleaning Shitters until such time as Jesus makes his final return.
So if the election is a mess, I can't count on Roberts. In fact, I would prefer Kennedy over Roberts.
“I was thinking today that the conservatives have NEVER had a woman on the court. We are way past time. The only woman added to the court by an R royally screwed us with abortion.”

Granted she wasn’t exactly “conservative,” but Sandra Day O’Connor was the first female SCOTUS Justice, appointed by Reagan. She ended up being a swing vote.
Perhaps for NEXT opening at USSC. There are more to come in the next 4 years—I promise you
Agree with this. If something important goes before SCOTUS, the left will pull his string.
“Mitch should of had all these fools in line..and marching with the right message.”.
How do you know he didn’t have them lined up?????
Mitch and Trump had this planned long ago because they knew she could die at any time.
+ 10
So what do we do? The Left steals the election in either Michigan or Pennsylvania. But we can't turn to the Supreme Court with Roberts in charge.
I agree with you. She died just at the right time and there is a purpose for that.
Agreed. Collins’ career will end if she fails to confirm a good nominee this week
Lindsey Graham said he would not let the hearing get out of control on his watch. I kind of believe him. He was so disgusted by the Kavanaugh hearings. Maybe he will be strong this time.
“I think it more likely that Murkowski votes present to try to stay on the fence rather than prove she is on the dark side.”
i think they need 51 even if everyone else were to abstain - but I’m not sure.
Correct. An abstention is effectively the same as a no vote.
Yes, Trump went to Wharton, which, as you know, is University of Pennsylvania's business school. Penn is technically in the Ivy League, which is just an athletic league, but is generally considered a second tier Ivy League school where it comes to admissions and academics. It's probably equivalent to University of Virginia, Georgetown University or University of Michigan. That said, the Wharton business school is top-notch.
Trump is successful because he knows most problems have fairly simple solutions. He does not analyze things into unknown. That's probably the benefit of a business degree and a life spent in business as opposed to most of the eggheads who infect government.
Incidentally, I work in a field where my peers are highly educated. I've worked with people who attended Harvard, Yale, Columbia, etc. Of the three most talented people I've worked with in my career, two were University of Maryland graduates and the third did not finish high school. The whole, "I went to an Ivy League school" business is, frankly, crap.
yeah, as I said.
Have been asking several places. Trying to find some answers. One of both of the women at the top of the SCOTUS list have recently gone thru senate confirmation hearings for federal judicial positions.
I vaguely remember various other people being switched from one position to another without a new hearing being required. Is this true for this position too? If your hearing for a judicial position is recent (2017ish) must you go before the judicial committee again or can you just be called/sent to the senate floor for a vote ?
Graham was not the chairman of the committee for Kavanaugh. He had limited power. Grassley did get the job done as chairman during Kavanaugh, but he seemed like a doddering old fool and let things get out of control.
I agree with your analysis.
