Republican attempts to depict her as some sort of radical got downright silly. Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa hit hard on this crucial topic: Why didn’t she require constitutional law for first-year law students, when she did require international law? Doesn’t that mean she cares more about foreign law than the very foundation of American law?
Well, no. Students are better equipped to tackle that essential subject with greater depth and understanding in their second or third year, she said.
Harvard’s Kagan Glides Past ‘Gotcha’ Republicans: Ann Woolner - Bloomberg
My brother sent me this link, along with some pretty nice commentary:
“Independent of how you feel about the Kagan nomination, is this really how you question a candidate at a hearing? An uninformed criticism of Harvard Law’s curriculum from a University of Northern Iowa-educated non-lawyer? This guy is like the kid in a freshman seminar who didn’t do the reading but really wants to contribute a “provocative” question to make sure the professor notices that he bothered to come to class.”
