Lots of defenses of Hewitt and criticisms that I’m being unfair coming in. The gist: He’s of the elite but he’s not a practitioner of elitism etc, etc. I’m not going to get into a big argument about this because it’s such a tired subject and I was merely having some good-natured fun at Hewitt’s expense. But, I still see no reason why support for Miers by Hewitt is proof that he has transcended or eschewed elitism while opposition to Miers is prima facie proof of the opposite.
