Yes, I moved near Charlottesville, Virginia, in July of 2018. My previous congressman here was Republican Denver Riggleman, actually a fairly reasonable guy. He wasn't trumpy enough (check out this smear: Don’t Vote For Virginia Congressional Hopeful Denber Wiggleman Because He Is Full Of Hate, Not Because Bigfoot Makes Him Hard). He was defeated in the 2020 primary and replaced by a real Trumpist.

The attacks by the Left on Judge Childs from South Carolina apparently worked.

I'm too lazy to check, but I suspect that a plurality, if not an outright majority of all SCOTUS justices, ever, have graduated from one of those two schools.
Graham's preferred nominee, Childs, graduated from the school at USC (Univ. of S.C.), and also has a LLM from Duke.

For the current justices, they all graduated from Harvard's or Yale's law schools, except for Barrett, who graduated from Notre Dame's.
I'm pretty sure a majority of all justices who ever served did not have degrees from Harvard or Yale ... because the early justices didn't have any law degrees.
Of the justices with law degrees, I believe Harvard is the most-represented school (so, the plurality) and Yale is the second most-represented school; I don't believe Harvard and Yale together, however, have an outright majority.

The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.
You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service.
The only people who can fix this are the Russian people.
Easy to say, hard to do.
Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate.

I didn't think I'd ever agree with Cruz. Sabatini is a nasty piece of work.The remarks were immediately knocked by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and several other Republicans.
“This is an exceptionally bad idea. Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves. But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state,” the Texas senator said in response.
“While we are all praying for peace & for the people of Ukraine, this is irresponsible, dangerous & unhinged,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said in a tweet. “We need leaders with calm minds & steady wisdom. Not blood thirsty warmongering politicians trying to tweet tough by demanding assassinations. Americans don’t want war.”
Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini (R), who is running for Congress, called Graham’s statement “Biden-level stupidity and recklessness,” while Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) sarcastically mused, “When has Sen. Graham encouraging regime change ever ended badly?”
Or fall out of a window on the top floor of the Capitol....
