Miers would be the only one on the SC to not have attended Harvard, Yale..

or other "top Law Schools" (Stevens attended Northwestern, the rest attended Harvard or Yale).

I'm not dissing SMU's Law Program. I know nothing about it. I'm sure they've turned out some fine lawyers and in a strange way for those of us (including myself) that didn't attend a 'top rated' school, it's nice to see someone get that far.

Too bad it's not really based on any real merit other than being a hack to the president though.

1. Northwestern is known for graduating good actors

McLean Stevenson was an alum, as well as Jerry Orbach.

2. It's a private school I believe

it should be fine. I get sick of all these jackasses looking down their nose at anyone who attended "state school" Not all of us have 35K a year to spend at Harvard, you know.

3. Yeah I completely understand what you mean

I'm finishing my last semester from a local public university.

4. That's not really a negative in my mind....I'm tired of elites running

everything. The little cabals that form in Ivy League colleges have run this country for FAR too long. Not saying I support Miers, just that I don't care that she's not Ivy League.

5. Also, she's not a millionaire

She reportedly has between $220,000 and $595,000.

The only other judge this article lists as having holdings valued at under a million, is Kennedy

Wouldn't a seriously cronified crony have more in cash rewards by now?
