An affirmative action appointment to a law review board would not be surprising; it would be typical. I'm not sure if you went to Harvard Law and so you might have more knowledge about THAT school's policies, but law review membership at my school was based on grades or an anonymous writing exercise.

Of course then your party couldn't buy minority votes. And yes, you are whining. What does any of that have to do with the original point?

I mean the guy can hardly string together a sentence without a teleprompter, hardly genius material. He writes most of his speeches himself, so he's responsible for the words on the teleprompter for the most part. Stringing them together, that is. Dude is smart, deal with it. I'll give him his "uhms" and you keep the "I can see Russia from my houuse." or "I'd fire the head of the SEC if I were President."

UP 18% PAST 5 YEARS... UP 44% PAST 10 YEARS.. Go ahead and compare that to SS returns. Anyone who bases a 30-40 year investment portfolio against what's happened in a few years is beyond naive.

Without honors at Columbia undergrad, so less than a 3.3. Magna Cum Laude at Harvard Law (7.2+ on a 8 scale) (top 10% of the class). What more do you need to know?

I'm not sure if you went to Harvard Law and so you might have more knowledge about THAT school's policies, but law review membership at my school was based on grades or an anonymous writing exercise. I was writing about how the Board/Editors/whatevereachschoolcallsthem was selected. The quotation in another post from the out-going editor-in-chief seems to imply that the out-going board selected the in-coming board. And my point was simply that AA may have an affect on who gets selected. (It's my understanding that, 50 years ago, "editor in chief of the law review" was synonymous with "first in the class"; that is no longer true.)

I'm not sure what the "smarts" argument gets anyone anyway since his opponents are hardly pillars of academic achievement. (I hope I've reached my illiterative max)
