The Court Loses Another Stanfordian

<p>A truly distinguished justice.</p>

<p>Well it's not clear whether Sandra Day will leave right away.
Also some trivia: in addition to both attending stanford, O'Connor and Rehnquist were both in the same graduating class at Stanford Law. Rehnquist was valedictorian, O'Connor third in her class. They apparently dated while in law school...</p>

<p>I remember a tabloid mentioning that.</p>

<p>now only 2 left...</p>

<p>It's clearly a conspiracy.</p>

<p>That bit about O'Connor and Rehnquist dating is a bit creepy, though.</p>

<p>Crap, Bush has a chance to put another of his HYP connies. I hope O Connor changes her mind and stays on for at least two more years.</p>

<p>Cause the people from Stanford are so different than the people from Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.</p>

<p>Rhenquist actually earned a Masters degree at Harvard.</p>

<p>And yet he's a Stanfordian, not a Harvardian.</p>

<p>Funny how that works.</p>

<p>he got three degrees from stanford...c'mon</p>

<p>Well, if the current system is anything like the past, he have earned them all through very hardwork.</p>
