Additionally, we need to expand the sphere of influence and start getting Supreme Court justices who come from outside the couple of elitist few law schools that currently dominates. The outsized domination of the elitist schools in general speaks to a good old boys network peddling power and influence and privilege more than their academic superiority. In fact half their students come from legacy and donor groups. For every single one of the less qualified legacy or donor applicants that is accepted, thousands of candidates from middle and working class backgrounds are turned away! These working and middle class students represent a far greater brilliance, intelligence and talent for they must achieve despite having no extraordinary advantages! The whole elite school dominance in the areas of business and government smacks of discrimination against poor and working class students. It is an expression of class discrimination by the super rich against the rest of us. They want to claim they are better and smarter and work harder- they are so special that they deserve all the advantages. They are in fact sheltered and pampered and therefore not as qualified as those who achieve under far less forgiving circumstances. The world these people have created is terrible. Blinded by greed and selfishness, the top dogs in our system are creating poverty, destruction of commonly held goods like infrastructure, clean air and water and our natural environment. Significant movement towards global peace and disarmament has not happened either. All because we are dominated by selfish, greedy overprivileged people (who are predominantly white men by the way.) All this must change. This class of extreme privilege and advantage has become a cancer on society. They are a parasite killing off its host. It is time for massive class actions against this system which has been rigged to favor the whims of the selfish super-rich. We must go beyond the status quo because they have stacked our judiciary and gerrymandered voting districts and made it hard to vote. We can’t kid ourselves that we can vote our way out of this. The right wing power brokers know this and no longer try to hide their extremist far-right aims. They are laughing because they feel they are bulletproof against any way of correcting this situation. It’s time to think outside the box and come together to brainstorm ways of shutting down this dangerous game and restoring democracy. We have far greater numbers of more intelligent and more moral and ethical people. They need us to work and to buy in order to hoard their millions. We can stop this. We are turning into an oligarchy with fascist elements.
