More Puking

[Louis Foxwell]

Curious no professor at any of the colleges he attended has any recollection of Obama except to say he was lazy, indifferent and of no particular intelligence, save Laurence Tribe, simply the most convoluted of legal scholars.

[irv]

He displayed the ability to see a multifaceted problem in all of its complexity

Either this is an outright lie or Obama sustained enormous brain damage during his college years (something to do with the Choom Gang maybe?).

Or both.

[laweeks]

Lawrence Tribe is a Supreme Court Wannabee who’d kiss any libtard with his open mouth.

[AmericanVictory]

He certainly takes all sides on every issue, as opposed to being a decisive leader, one who is capable of making command decisions.

I always recall how Tribe, a one-time ACLU guy, did not think the infamous Massachusetts "15 percent rule" was constitutional until the lawsuit over its use to bar Kennedy opponent Hopfmann. Then LT was for it in hopes Ted would one day be able to put him on SCOTUS

[Gaffer]

Greed and the need to feather one’s retirement nest with untold riches from a book that contains what some (the Coneheads?) would call “mass quantities of bullsh!t” is a powerful thing.

There’s not one word of this that is true, IMO.

[FredZarguna]

Poor Buzzy. Her health must be worse than we’ve been led to believe.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Looks like Bribe/Tribe is out to replace Ruth Buzzi-Ginsburg.

[KarlInOhio]

He worked with me on one of my most challenging articles in the Harvard Law Review, ‘The Curvature of Constitutional Space: What Lawyers Can Learn from Modern Physics.’”

So Obama learned to become an expert at warping the Constitution. Boy, I feel reassured.

[Starstruck]

Tribe is waiting for Ginsburg to kick the bucket. I heard he has her in the less than 18 months dead pool.

[Cyman]

And THAT was the first discussion that Urkel had when he realized not being a natural born citizen prohibited him from becoming president

[pluvmantelo]

I think Tribe is trying to make amends.

Climate-change activists and advocates seldom have trouble finding villains. But recently, they’ve found a new one in a strange place: famed legal scholar and Obama mentor Laurence Tribe, in his office at Harvard Law School.

Tribe has been the highest-profile legal scholar to criticize the Obama administration’s rules for carbon-dioxide emissions from coal plants, which were formally proposed in June 2014.

[ryan71]

So, how’d he go from a certifiable genius to a complete moron?

[Milton Miteybad]

“He was amazing. I met him when he was a first year law student,” said Tribe, referring to what would have been the fall of 1988.

It appears that it takes only mere mediocrity to impress Professor Tribe.

[Zman]

Just as an aside, last I looked there were no requirements to take a course at HLS to gain a degree. They do offer Constitutional law an as elective...

[Will88]

The story has the ring of pure BS, and mighty late in showing up since Obama has been a national figure since sat least 2007.

[tumblindice]

That’s some weapons-grade shameless gushing.
And 73 is a little old to be a giddy fanboi.

“If you look at that article,” recounted Tribe, “the first footnote acknowledges the help of Barack Obama and, of all people, Gene Sperling [former director of the National Economic Council under President Obama].”

The "Hair Club For Men" guy? "I'm not only the Hair Club president. I'm also a client."

It's not so surprising that a law professor might find an older student better organized and more self-possessed than somebody just out of college.

Race may likely have entered into it as well, faculty expectations for Black students being lower than for students of other races.

There's some skepticism and outright disagreement with Tribe's "Curvature of Constitutional Space" paper on law and physics.

It may not be that impressive, save as flim-flam or pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo -- the sort of thing it's easy to churn out but that doesn't bear much scrutiny.

[Kid Shelleen]

Obama amazed his professor the same way he amazed Harry Reid.
