Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, in a New York Times article discussing hiring practices at the Supreme Court: "“I won’t hire clerks who have profound disagreements with me,” he said at a luncheon in Dallas a decade ago. “It’s like trying to train a pig. It wastes your time, and it aggravates the pig.”
And a bonus quote, also from Justice Thomas, regarding the hiring of clerks from law schools other than Harvard or Yale: "I have a preference, actually, for non-Ivy League law clerks, simply because I think clerks should come from a wide range of backgrounds,” he said. “I don’t have that pedigree. I’m not part of this sort of new or faux nobility.”
Bravo.
