Miers: What law student will want to clerk for her? |
|
Anybody on DU ever clerk for a judge? What law student in their right mind would want to work under her given she has no experience as a judge and will be learning on the job herself?

1. You make an excellent point. |
|
But there'll be some Republican critter-kiddy out there who wants a chance to shine...and what better way than by being the voice behind the justice? That clerkship will fit like a Rove...I mean Glove.

in the 1970s the Giants drafted a sprinter named Rocky something, who had never even SEEN a football game, under the theory he was the "best athlete available." Took them four years before they finally threw up their hands and admitted he wasn't a football player....

7. Every "Christian Law" law school student at Jerry Falwell's |
|
Liberty University, and every Regents or Bob Jones University graduate that found their way to law school. Not to mention a whole bunch of like minded ideologues at SMU, BYU, Oral Roberts, etc.
