He’s claiming here that he got into Yale Law School with no connections. YLS certainly took into account in the 1980s if you were legacy. On second thought, I don’t think he was lying. I think he truly believes he hit a triple, even though we all know he was born on third base.

@ImmCivilRights does this ^^ answer your question? -
It does. And it’s exactly what I suspected. “i have no connections there”. Between this & MD drinking age how can any litigant appearing before
#SCOTUS trust him to honestly construe the facts of their case, much less faithfully state and apply the law? -
As an attorney, what's your take on this thread?https://twitter.com/sarahwoodwriter/status/1045731482868883456?s=19 …

It sounds like Justice Ginsberg supports eliminating the separate sovereign exception. Both ACLU and Cato support eliminating the exception. I don’t see it as partisan.

I'm going to do a pile of googling after I put my son to bed, then I'll understand what you mean

But thank you! -
In layman terms ... If you get a presidential pardon you can still be tried at the state level. He believes that is wrong and wishes to make it impossible to be tried at state level for any crime pardoned by the POTUS.
-
I don't think is right. It is preventing states and feds from retrying a case in they other court if they lose.
-
I think he’s right. They want to make the pardon for both state and federal because of instances like Manafort who is cooperating because he knows that since he pled guilty he could be tried & would be found guilty for those crimes at the state level because he pled at fed level.

Kavanaugh said much that was false but I give him a pass here — he was saying that he had no connections to Yale Law.pic.twitter.com/MjyHleB2Fc

He went to Yale undergrad, surely that is a “connection.”

Here’s a 2006 article discussing. But maybe

The Yale Daily News has its own interpretation of the data. Bottom line is that Yale is disproportionally represented in the applicant pool, and also has very competitive applicants, therefore will have more admits than most schools in each class. 1/

But that is an aggregate phenomenon. No individual applicant has an automatic "in" or a discrete advantage to getting in, and as I've stated previously, is in some ways in a more competitive pool bc there are so many applicants from Yale to distinguish themselves from. 2/

Thanks so much for responding! I was unaware of your previous explanation.

Are you sure that’s his grandfather?
-
Wikipedia says his father was Everett Edward Kavanaugh, Jr., and his grandfather was Everett Edward Kavanaugh (Sr.) who went to Yale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Kavanaugh …. So his statement that he had no connection to Yale was incorrect.
-
Be careful with wiki. Folks have been very busy editing. I'd get a confirming source, too.

Might be fun for the FBI to ask them about his drinking in high school and college. They wouldn't lie to the FBI.
-
I think they would, they look like "those parents" who's kid is perfection and would never do or say "that"
-
And even if they did believe it they would lie to protect the family.
