The Supreme Court and diversity
By One of the many interesting things about Obama is that he took such an unusual career path once he left Harvard. I don’t know how many other presidents of the Harvard Law Review haven’t either clerked, or joined or an elite firm, or become tenure-track law professors , or taken a big deal job in the federal legal bureacracy, but my guess would be zero.
Anyway, we’ll see if that maverick streak is on display when he picks Souter’s replacement.
