Supreme Court Justices

This is a list of the current Supreme Court Justices and the undergraduate and law schools they attended. The first institution of higher learning listed after their names is the school where they received their undergraduate degree. The second institution listed is the school of law where they received their law degree.

Roberts - Harvard/Harvard
Stevens - University of Chicago/Northwestern
Alito - Princeton/Yale
Scalia - Georgetown/Harvard
Kennedy - Stanford/Harvard
Thomas - Holy Cross/Yale
Ginsberg - Cornell/Harvard
Breyer - Stanford/Harvard
Sotomayor - Princeton/Yale
Kagan (nominee) - Princeton/Harvard

Is it me, or what? Don't I see a predominance of Ivy League institutions, especially Harvard? Why is this? Is our Constitution and legal system being judged by a group of elitists influenced by a select group of so called elite intellectuals at Harvard and Yale that don't have the slightest notion of what the real world is really like? It looks like a conspiracy.
There are good men and women educated at the universities and law schools of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. that are just as capable and probably a lot more grounded in the real facts of life and what the Constitution and the American way is all about that can set on the highest court in the land. Its time for drastic change.
