After graduating from Harvard magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government,[5] he completed the Publius Fellowship[6] at the Claremont Institute and attended the Claremont Graduate University before moving on to Harvard Law School, where he was taught by Elizabeth Warren.[7] He received his J.D. degree in June 2002.[3][8]

Haven't heard anything from her about him, but he may be just a footnote as she had hundreds of students, and no reflection on her. So, he learned to read and write well enough to be a blogger and to pen this missive.

He'll continue to inflict his particular brand of Teahadism upon the American people through the Presidential elections in 2016, and likely beyond that. At only 37 years of age, he has plenty of time along with the rest of the GOP freshman class in Congress to make mischief.

Note that by his voting record, nothing he does to us will affect his own personal fortune. He is following the agenda of the Koch brothers and all their friends, but he will be okay no matter what occurs to others not in that station of life.

So it's easy for him to pursue the oppression of others for sport. What greater blood sport is there for a Republican than the demise of those on their list of prey?
