He had chosen to be a Republican in his community, which is about as rare as choosing to be a Sunni Muslim in Tel Aviv. With refreshing candor, he confessed that he had switched parties so that there would be fewer folks ahead of him in line for federal jobs. He’d gone to a historically black law school. When I asked if he had done so out of ethnic loyalty, he said that no, his grades as an undergraduate hadn’t been very good, and he thought that was one place he could get in. What we ought to have is a system where prosecutors are selected for being the best and the brightest at what they do...." | ||
