You would never know that by looking at our highest court-lol. I would gladly take any four people rqandomly off this thread and replace Sclaia, Rhenquist (if he were still alive-lol), Thomas and actuall alito and roberts for that matter. It is poetic justice that Obama who has better credentials than almost any lawyer in the land will get to make the decisions on several judges. I'll bet he appoints Louis Brandise and Felix Frankfurter types. The best and the brightest in the land. And then when they join with the few liberals on the court can make life hell for Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts. Frankfurter was born to a Jewish family in the Jewish ghetto of Vienna, Austria in 1882. At the age of twelve, he immigrated with his family to the United States and grew up on New York City's Lower East Side. Initially not speaking any English, Frankfurter attended P.S. 25 and excelled at his studies, and enjoyed chess and crap shooting on the street. He spent many hours reading at The Cooper Union as well as attending political lectures, usually on subjects such as trade unionism, socialism and communism.[1][2] After graduation from City College of New York in 1902, he worked for the Tenement House Department of the New York City in order to raise money for law school. He applied successfully to Harvard Law School, where he excelled academically and socially. He made lifelong friends of Walter Lippmann and Horace Kallen became an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and graduated with one of the best academic records since Louis Brandeis.[1][3]
