Elena Kagan and the Yale-Harvard Nexus

Elena Kagan and the Yale-Harvard Nexus

The author makes a very good point in the linked article. We have long accepted the self-certified superiority of the Ivy League and look at our current financial situation and the problems on our southern border. Ivy Leaguers may be intelligent–and there are many who would argue that point–but they have shown a studied inability to solve the problems that we face. They are also very good at feathering their own nests but clearly could care less about We the People except in an abstract sort of way. Perhaps it is time to ensure that the Supreme Court has a truly varied composition that is more representative of the United States in general rather than the pastel shades that we are offered out of the Ivy League Axis. The Republicans, and any Democrats who still think with their own mind, should hold out for a Texan or someone from Oklahoma, Indiana or South Dakota. We cannot expect the President to nominate a Conservative for that is a fantasy, but surely there is a liberal-progressive-socialist Democrat out there in "fly-over" country that Obama would like and who would bring a true diversity to the Court that it currently lacks. And if there isn't, maybe we should start asking why?
