‘Three Supreme Court Justices Return to Yale’

Adam Liptak, writing for the New York Times:

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who has two Harvard degrees, was once asked whether it is healthy for the Supreme Court to consist of only justices with degrees from elite institutions.

“First of all, I disagree with your premise,” he responded. “Not all of the justices went to elite institutions. Some went to Yale.”

Two Harvard degrees and a biting wit.
