He pointed out that these young white princelings at places like Georgetown Prep and other elite all-boys schools might naturally gravitate toward law and government involvement/politics. And why not? It helps to know the law and how you can get around it or subvert it or use it against an adversary. And when you have allies among your friends who were fellow students, well, you're set up nicely then, 'eh? All your friends will back you up, and they'll all follow that "code" that Kavanaugh SAID, OUT LOUD, at a speech to students that we've seen on video: "What happens at Georgetown Prep STAYS at Georgetown Prep." OF COURSE it would. They'll all stick together.

My husband's pretty smart about human nature. He did NOT go to a prep school, btw.
