    Why are people so dumb? Here is the article about Alito. Yes, they DID write that he excelled. What is your point? http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2005/10/28/13656/

    Interesting article - I really like the "what were they like" type articles.

    why do all these AA admits study such fluff subjects like LatAm studies when you're Hispanic? I doubt Sotomayor was really that good- she probably never took a tough math or science class in HS or at Princeton.
