      David Lat Retweeted Above the Law

      Some context & additional info re: this post by @ElieNYC: 1. No, @SChuaRubenfeld (daughter of @AmyChua) won't be clerking for a Justice Kavanaugh on #SCOTUS anytime soon; she did college ROTC & owes her next few years to the military.https://twitter.com/atlblog/status/1017799480161263616 …

      David Lat added,

      Above the LawVerified account @atlblog
      We've reached the intellectual nadir of @YaleLawSch 's clannish support for #Kavanaugh with @amychua calling him a "mentor for women" b/c he hired her own daughter, and 10 other people from Yale that she knows.

      2. Sophia boasts a perfect transcript from @YaleLawSch - why do you think Kavanaugh hired her in the first place - so she doesn't need her mom's help in landing a #SCOTUS clerkship (plus Kavanaugh feeds almost all his clerks these days anyway).

      3. Most #lawschool grading is blind, so @SChuaRubenfeld doesn't owe her grades (or @YaleLJournal membership or other credentials) to her parents being @YaleLawSch faculty.

      4. If people want to attack Judge Kavanaugh's jurisprudence, that's fine - but personal attacks on him and his supporters are unfortunate. #SCOTUS #SCOTUSnominee #ScotusPick

      Not sure how you can still employ such intellectually lazy caustic hacks like @ElieNYC and @JosephPatrice
