It’s incredible the number of justices Republicans have gotten wrong. The Dems never miss on their SCOTUS nominees. Ever.
“It is incredible the number of justices Republicans have gotten wrong. The Dems never miss on their SCOTUS nominees. Ever.”
When both parties rely exclusively on lawyers educated in elite Ivy League law schools, primarily Harvard and Yale, for the Supreme Court, why wouldn’t we expect them to have the same view of the Constitution and the law? Kennedy received his undergraduate degree in political science from the elite private Stanford University and his law degree from Harvard.
Of the current Supreme Court, five went to Harvard for their law degree and three went to Yale. Ginsberg started her law degree at Harvard but transferred to Columbia (another Ivy League School) to finish her legal education because her husband took a job in New York.
Given where they are all educated it is surprising anyone on the Court has any respect for the Constitution or the founders.
In all fairness to Reagan, he did nominate 2 other people (rejected by the Dems) before nominating Kennedy to the court.
He was dealing with a nasty Dem controlled senate for most of his presidency.
