Why must they all be Northeastern ? Call me close minded but I don't care for Harvard types . I don't hate them but if your going to rule on the fate of my nation , I would feel better if you had once held a real job. What is a real job , to me ? A job where if your not productive , your fired . Having dirty hands or tired feet at the end of the day is a plus . What does this woman think I do , how could she know ?
She's a very bright person, but sticking a person with no judicial experience into a position on the HIGHEST court of the land is like putting someone who has only flown an ultralight airplane into the cockpit of a 747.
What in the heck does having tired feet have to do with interpreting COMPLEX legal issues?
No, people from the west and south are not too stupid. John P. Stevens is from Chicago, Kennedy from Sacramento, Thomas is from Georgia (wait, correct what I posted above), Breyer from San Francisco, O'Connor is from El Paso.
We want the BEST people on the court. If you believe (and it's a doctine of faith for the right) that the BEST is brought out by competition, then the BEST naturally compete at the highest levels, in all fields. We don't look at the South Podunk Junior College baseball field for the best baseball players, we look at the Major League parks, we don't look at the customer service window of your local computer store for a head of Google or Yahoo, we look for people who have PROVEN THEMSELVES AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN THEIR PROFESSION.
Hence the Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford connections for attorneys, the Harvard/John's Hopkins connections in medicine, the Princeton/Yale connections in Economics.
Besides too many of those "real Americans" don't know the difference between you're (contraction) and your (possessive). A simple understanding of 8th grade English is kind of a prerequisite for being taken seriously in this country, except for fans of S. Palin and J. Plumber.
