    I’m seeing different percentages, but the circuit court judges in DC, about half, or a little less of the federal judges are harvard law school graduates.

    also Harvard’s law school is one of the most respected law schools in the country. They’re not producing ambulance chasers… and they have a 50 billion dollar endowment they don’t necessarily need to tap because they have some pretty awesome lawyers already on retainer.

    basically, better lawyers, and better funding than the feds… at least as far as this one issue is concerned.

    (edit to correct a number.)

      What they don’t have is the Supreme Court in their pocket. Amy and John will need to show some principles for justice to have any chance.
