My wife started her career at Harriet's firm in Dallas. I remember the day my wife met her... she (my wife) couldn't stop talking, for days, about how impressive she was. She even played basketball with her at a party.
I don't know what her politics are, but as a person, she's supposed to be absolutely top notch. My wife has never heard one negative comment about her - which, as a head of a firm, is unheard of. Even the secretaries & the mail room at the firm loved Harriet - I've met some of these secretaries, and they absolutely
LOVED to hate the partners.
My wife says this is the one person that she respects the most and would want to emulate. That is a huge statement, coming from my wife.
JYL- You may know more about this than I... But, wasn't every other current SC Justice previously a judge? My wife just told me that historically, the SC likes to have alternative (apart from "judges") views. They like to have a fresh view/perspective on "law".
Anyone know if Warren a judge (I don't believe he was)? Which others were not judges? Rehnquist?
Racer- She is NOT a looker.
