Yet another reason,
courtesy of the National Review, why Elena Kagan wouldn't make a good Supreme Court justice:
In addition to her kicking military recruiters off Harvard’s campus during wartime and being paid for a comfy position on a Goldman Sachs advisory board, this passage (from
this article) nicely captures Elena Kagan’s remoteness from the lives of most Americans:
Kagan … is such a product of New York City that she did not learn to drive until her late 20s. According to her friend John Q. Barrett, a law professor at St. John's University, it is a skill she has not yet mastered.
Ooops...
ETA: This is a note that I'm being sarcastic. In case you didn't know I'm in my late twenties, am currently learning to drive, and have not yet mastered it. And I don't even come from a big city.
