| Description | Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel, currently polling at 0 percent, will probably never have an opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice.
But if he has the chance, the former Alaska senator says he has already made up his mind. His man: Yale Law School professor Akhil Reed Amar ’80 LAW ’84.
In a recent interview with the News after speaking to students at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., Gravel said Amar would not only be his first choice to serve on the high court but also his first choice for the position of chief justice, should the post become vacant.
“I’d appoint him in a heartbeat,” Gravel declared. “There’s no one who knows the Constitution better than he does.” |
