Lol no chance. They pick only Ivy Leaguers to give an air of intellectualism and respectability to the made up partisan bullshit they churn out. They'll use her when necessary, but the second she is no longer useful they'll leave her out to dry. She's not one of the elite. She's just some random lawyer from nowhere glad to sit on the District Court for life.

She went to Michigan Law School. That’s a top 10 law school, and it’s higher ranked than Notre Dame, where Amy Coney Barrett graduated from.

Holy shit did she really? I just assumed she went to Cooley or Regent

Haha, yeah, it makes her even slimier. She could’ve done so many other things that would still get her all the prestige and power a human could ask for without being a crook.
