On the Fact that Trump Is Now Seemingly Leaning Towards Barbara Lagoa as His Supreme Court Nominee

On one level, I could give a rat's ass (my big issue is civil liberties and they're all pretty shitty on that unfortunately)......but I do have one beef. Justice Lagoa is a Columbia Law School graduate and if you look back at the last half Century or so virtually every nominee put forth (Republican OR Democrat) has either graduated from Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or Columbia......and being that there are folks on Trump's short list who break from that mold (Rushing from Duke, Larsen from Northwestern, Coney-Barrett from Notre Dame, and Bade from Arizona State) maybe it's time for some diversity on the legal front, too. Simply a suggestion.
