[Prudence]

A side note unrelated to any individual nominee or current justice: someone pointed out to me that all the current justices and the current nominee (and the two who have just left) were educated in the Ivy League schools of the northeast. Now, I haven't independently verified this claim against individual CVs, so it's merely an allegation. Assuming it's true, the contention was that this shows a lack of educational diversity. I could understand a focus on elite schools, but heck, no Stanford? There are other top law schools outside the Ivy League. Wouldn't a range of educational backgrounds or environments better represent a diverse nation?

Just a thought. It was getting way too lovey-dovey in here, all this agreeing and crap.
