Yale's Endorsement Of Brett Kavanaugh Reveals The Legal Establishment's True Colors

…..


"This week, several of my former professors and fellow alumni, along with dozens of other well-known lawyers and academics, came out to support Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — the quintessential gentleman. But interpreting their statements requires understanding the archaic context in which they’re made.
A telling example of how legal elites overvalue men of privilege and pedigree is the statement Yale Law School itself released lauding the nomination of Kavanaugh. The gushing announcement included quotes from five different professors praising the thoroughbred nominee as “one of the most learned judges in America,” “a true intellectual” who writes “smart, thoughtful, and clear” opinions.
Contrast that with the statement Yale Law School issued in 2009, in which just two professors commended the nomination of now Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Those faculty focused heavily on personality traits, admiring “a warm and wonderful human being” and “thoughtful and fair-minded jurist” “who combines heart and head.”

$69,430 dollars a year to endorse a fucking LIAR, and thinks that he is above the rule of law when testifying to a United States senators, and LYING about evidence being presented and when confronted that he LIED, its just great .....................and Yale and staff thinks it just fine and dandy to have a LIAR sitting on the bench fucking people over if they LIE...............
