...IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
"Now only a very narrow range of people will ever be considered qualified for the court. They must have degrees from Harvard, Yale or one of the other elite law schools. They must have academic and/or work experience in one specific area of the law. Never again can a "common" man or woman be considered for the court. What I mean by that is someone who has come up through the world most of us live in."
You're good at sticking to talking points but you suck at losing. For instance, did you know that most here seem to support CONSERVATIVES, without regard to their Ivy League credentials? It's horses' asses like you who stuck with the insulting tone and message that made the dissenters' ranks grow. If you think Miers' withdrawal set some Ivy League precedent, you are simply kidding yourself. It set a precedent that the GOP must appoint known conservatives OR at least hellaqualified stealth nominees with enough paper trail to look good enough to the base. And that's good precedent, not bad.

I second your thoughts. In fact, if you look at this thread alone, the name that seems to come up the most is Janice Rogers Brown, not an Ivy League-good ole' boy in the least. I'll credit it to the fact that anyone who is a true conservative and has read any of her writings must conclude that she is -on right in her views and not timid about stating originalist constitutional principals and a properly restrained judicial philosophy. Speaking for myself, I truly don't give a damn what school she went to, what gender she is, what color she is or what cereal she eats for breakfast: she's excellent and that's all that counts!!!
Speaking of insulting tone...
