For more about how it was created, see here. It can be republished only if accompanied by this note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obamas Appointment of Sotomayor Fails to Offer Educational Diversity to Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sotomayor does not offer true diversity to our Supreme Court. The potential power of Sotomayor&amp;#39;s diversity as a Latina Woman, from a disadvantaged background, loses its strength because her Yale Law degree does not offer educational diversity to the current mix of sitting Judges. Once she walked through the Gates of Princeton and then Yale Law School she became educated by the same Professors that have educated the majority of our current Supreme Court Justices, and our Presidents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diversity in education is extremely important. We need to look for diversity in our ideas, and if our leaders are from the same educational background, they lose the original power of their ethnic and gender diversity. The ethnic and gender diversity many of our current leaders possess no longer brings a plethora of new ideas, only the same perspective they learned from their common Ivy League education. One example of the common education problem is that Yale has been heavily influenced by a former lecturer at Yale, Judge Frank, who developed the philosophy of Legal Realism. Frank argued that Judges should not only look at the original intent of the Constitution, but they should also bring in outside influences, including their own experiences in order to determine the law. This negative interpretation has influenced both Conservatives and Liberals graduating from Yale. It has been said that Legal Realism has infested Yale Law School and turned lawyers into political activists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A generation of appointees with either a Harvard or Yale background, has the potential to distort the proper interpretation of our Constitution. America needs to decentralize the power structure away from the Ivy League educated individual and gain from the knowledgeable and diverse perspectives that people from other institutions can provide. We should appoint Supreme Court Justices educated from amongst a wider group of Americas Universities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harvard -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chief Justice John Roberts&lt;br /&gt;Anthony Kennedy&lt;br /&gt;Antonin Scalia&lt;br /&gt;Stephen Breyer&lt;br /&gt;Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Harvard, Columbia)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samuel Alito - Yale JD 1975&lt;br /&gt;David Souter&lt;br /&gt;Clarence Thomas - Yale JD 1974&lt;br /&gt;Sonia Sotomayor - Yale JD 1979&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Northwestern Law School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Justice John Paul Stevens&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Presidents we have elected for the last twenty years, have themselves been Harvard or Yale educated. This has the potential to create an even more closed minded interpretation of our laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yale - Bush Sr. - 4 years&lt;br /&gt;Yale Law - Clinton - 8 years&lt;br /&gt;Yale - Bush, Jr. - 8 Years&lt;br /&gt;Harvard Law - Obama - 4 - 8 years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we consider that our Nation has potentially twenty - eight years of Presidential influence from these two Universities, as Americans, we should look long and hard at the influence Yale and Harvard have exerted on our nation&amp;#39;s policies. Barack Obama promised America Change, but he has continued the same discriminatory policy by appointing a Yale graduate over many qualified candidates that graduated from other top Colleges and Universities in America.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/2531165636042849830/comments/default/7738798767742780561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/2531165636042849830/comments/default/7738798767742780561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stefanfergus.blogspot.com/2010/05/elena-kagan-too-academic.html?showComment=1274116983842#c7738798767742780561' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://stefanfergus.blogspot.com/2010/05/elena-kagan-too-academic.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18493847.post-2531165636042849830' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/posts/default/2531165636042849830' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-127746265'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='6:23 PM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18493847.post-1539038421319552688</id><published>2010-05-17T18:23:03.841+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-17T18:23:03.841+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Kagan Should Not Be Confirmed

The negative is that the Supreme Court is losing Educational Diversity amongst its members.  A very simple example could be vanilla ice cream.  Everyone likes vanilla ice cream.  The problem arises when you limit your diet exclusively to vanilla ice cream.  You get lots of calcium, but you lose out on all of the other needed vitamins and minerals to live a healthy productive life.  The same can be said about losing the diversity of  knowledge and diverse perspectives that people from other institutions can provide. The majority of the Supreme Court Judges should not be Ivy League graduates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am of the opinion that Supreme Court decisions may be considered biased, due to their common Ivy League education, and they are engaging in discrimination, by limiting the Court to Ivy League Graduates.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/2531165636042849830/comments/default/1539038421319552688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/2531165636042849830/comments/default/1539038421319552688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stefanfergus.blogspot.com/2010/05/elena-kagan-too-academic.html?showComment=1274116983841#c1539038421319552688' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://stefanfergus.blogspot.com/2010/05/elena-kagan-too-academic.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18493847.post-2531165636042849830' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18493847/posts/default/2531165636042849830' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-127746265'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='6:23 PM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18493847.post-1821154352023134592</id><published>2010-02-19T22:20:21.047Z</published><updated>2010-02-19T22:20:21.047Z</updated><title type='text'>You have to express more your opinion to attract m...</title><content type='html'>You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable.
