Perhaps Miers law school is not a top school - that's a valid complaint but she is ranked as one of the top 100 lawyers in the country and that makes up for it.

I generally adore Ann, and I think she went to Colgate if memory serves correctly....

Not to be rude, but can anyone tell me what rank she happens to be?

What is the relevance of that comment? Ann is not a Supreme Court nominee.

Ann attended Cornell for her undergrad degree, and the University of Michigan for her law degree.

Ann got her bachelor's at Cornell University in the City of Evil (Ithaca, New York, as did I), and got her law degree at the University of Michigan.

Ruth Ginsburg and Sandy Burglar both attended Cornell, so when Ann talks about knowing how libs think and act, she knows what she's talking about.

A casual glance at admissions criteria - an objective measure of an institution's academic expectations - does not, on balance, weigh in SMU's favor, tho individual variance is great, as is post college accomplishment.

Miers' academic pedigree is not the greatest issue here, by far. But one cannot argue that it weighs in her favor.

I think she went to the University of Michigan law school, which is top ten at least and has been top five in the not to distant past.
