She was graduated from Cornell University, and then attended Harvard and Columbia Law Schools. She taught law at Rutgers and Columbia Universities. She became a clerk for a U.S. district judge and taught law, becoming the first female tenured professor at Columbia School of Law. She then became a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, a position she held until she was appointed to the Supreme Court.
Who is she? Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Those throwing around complaints that Harriet Miers did not have just such a background have now set a precedent in which nominees for the court must ONLY a background such as Ms. Ginsberg's. Although the Court was graced with many, many "common" people in its history, it never will be again.
Wrong again. If Miers had distinguished herself as a Constutional originalist scholar or jurist after graduation, it would not have mattered a bit what schools she attended. We all would have been on her side. You know that.
I agree.
