Never mind that these critics did not exactly storm the White House when Ronald Reagan appointed Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy – both Harvard grads – or when George H.W. Bush appointed Justice David Souter, who attended both Harvard college and law school, a double whammy. What strikes me most about this line of attack is how heavily it relies on a lazy stereotype.

Sure, Harvard has its share of trust-fund kids. And between 10 to 15 percent of its undergraduates are “legacies” whose parents also went to the school. But 20 percent come from households that make $60,000 or less, which qualifies them to attend for free. Sixty percent are eligible for some form of financial aid. Harvard is rich so its students don’t have to be…

So, are these grads really more elitist than Limbaugh, whose grandfather was ambassador to India and whose uncle and cousin were appointed to the federal bench? Are they any further from the “real world” than Sekulow, who reportedly makes more than $600,000 a year and leases a private jet to play golf with donors?
