FYI: A Member of Skull & Bones, the same cell as George W. Bush (1968), has been at times Ralph's Attorney.

from Fleshing Out Skull & Bones:

Etra, Donald. 1968 x Student 07/23/47 NYC, NY/Columbia Law Sch, RTA Lawyer 95, Donald Etra; Assoc 81, Sidley & Austin; Asst US Attny 78-81, DOJ (LA); Assoc 71-73, Ralph Nader (DC); U.S. Attorney 73-77, Dept of Justice; Dir, RTA; 72-75 Pres 70-72, Dear Island Club _______________________

....Here (in Skull and Bones) Bush also forged a strong relationship with Donald Etra '68, who again commented on Bush's willingness to interact with anyone and not restrict himself to either the jock side or the intellectual side of the college.

Etra was a big consumer advocate and worked with current presidential candidate Ralph Nader when he left college, and he is also a criminal defense lawyer, often representing people on death row.

And yet, despite his strong political differences with Bush, he still is supporting him in the presidential election.
