As he sifts through SCOTUS choices, Trump has been telling people he wants someone with a degree from Harvard or Yale, per a source familiar with the conversations.



Amy Barrett went to Notre Lame, so she might be out of equation. This is NYT though, so source might be bs

While I wouldn't be surprised if someone from YLS or HLS got the nomination, I have no idea why Trump, of all people, would make that a stipulation.

Why? I would think any of his picks should have proven themselves by now, what difference does the school make now?

Haberman was on AC360 tonight; said she thought everything said on AF1 was a head fake so he can surprise everyone later.

Sounds like a ploy to catch a leaker.

Bookmarking for when the pick isn’t from Harvard or Yale.

Haven’t we been through this enough to know this shite is fake?

Absolutely none. I would almost prefer someone who went to less "clubish" less beltline-perpetuating schools, to be one of the 9 most powerful putatively impartial and apolitical jurists in the nation. But ultimately where someone spent 3 years learning how to learn how to be a lawyer should make no difference at all in the pick.

Why would someone who attended Penn feel he needs to pick someone from Harvard or Yale?

You rarely hear about Princeton when people talk Top flight schools, it’s always Yale and Harvard and Appalachian State. But doesn’t Princeton usually rank #1 in most reports?

Just a random thought I had. Sorry for the tangent.
