As far as I’m concerned, the only negative on his wife is that they met at Yale Law School, which makes them both suspect.:) I gather that she was the academic star while he was the working class kid who rose through the Marines to Ohio State to Yale Law School. JD married up.
JD graduated in two years. He is a very smart fellow and an excellent writer.
Clarence Thomas was Yale law, Scalia was Rutgers and Columbia.
Some people went to just study law.
