If so, deconstruction and radical historicism isn't exactly much to bank on.

Guaranteed, any likely candidate graduated long before that depraved standard became nearly as universal as it is now.

Not so. The intellectual trends that are popular now have been popular for decades throughout the entire Western world. The father of modern Deconstruction, Martin Heidegger, was a member of the Nazi Party. Paul de Man wrote pro-Nazi articles in his native Belgium. The radical historicist view has also been popular since the 1930s.

All of this was taken up by various French intellectuals in the 60s, sure, but the underlying philosophy that is now all the rage at Yale and Princeton has been around for a very long time.

We don't need anyone who's an unknown *and* a graduate of an elite law school. Ann Coulter is exactly wrong.
