[Elizabeth Warren] Claim To Be First Nursing Mother To Take NJ Bar Exam

While giving a speech at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011, Elizabeth Warren asserted that she was the first nursing mother to take the New Jersey Bar Exam, as reported at The Boston Herald (link now dead, reprinted at Legal Insurrection[1]) (emphasis added):

Warren, who had no public events yesterday, again refused an interview request from the Herald, responding to questions instead through a spokeswoman by email. Meanwhile, campaign officials scrambled to address another claim Warren’s made about her life’s story. “I was the first nursing mother to take a bar exam in the state of New Jersey,” Warren told an audience at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011, in a video posted on the CHF website. When asked how Warren knows that, her campaign said: “Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom — from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.” Winnie Comfort of the New Jersey Judiciary, which administers that state’s bar exam, said there’s no way to verify Warren’s claim. Comfort said women have been taking the New Jersey bar exam since 1895, but she’s not aware their nursing habits were ever tracked.

At least one other person asserted that Warren’s claim was untrue:[2]

This morning three different law professors sent me this video of U.S. Senate Candidate and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren claiming to be the first nursing mother to ever take the bar exam. One of the professors, who is a liberal academic, noted that she knows that claim to be untrue from personal experience. Some have claimed that Warren only was joking, but a full review of the longer video segment indicates that Warren was not joking when she made the claim.

The Warren campaign offered the following explanation[3]:

When asked how Warren knows that, her campaign said: “Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom — from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.”

But I’m so fast I can sharpen a lawn mower blade, and

That is pretty good.

Remember how your mother used to let you lick the spatula or beaters when making a cake?

I had heard about it and mine let me try it once and after I got the hang of it she Unplugged it.

As to Warren and her travails, we are going to end up with a govt of Hillary, Warren, a couple of those head cases from Texas, Maxine Waters, with Bill C, BO, Mooch and Holder on the Supreme Court.

I wonder how drunk the poor sod was that impregnated her? (Then, how does one lesbian get another pregnant except with a male donor and turkey baster?) Enough of this — the mental images are getting too disturbing.

She was the first pure blood Indian to take the bar exam while nursing. Does that count?

It is very true that Elizabeth Warren is being groomed b the same radicals that gave us Obama. Mrs. Clinton should just pack it up and enjoy her new role as Grandmother.

Warren was the first woman in space and the first woman to climb Mt Everest as well.

Warren’s only purpose is to make The Hildebeast look moderate. Both will be at the Convention. However, everyone knows, the Beast is the anointed one. She is as much a Commie as Warren—and Zer0. If The Hildebeast self-destructs, the Republicans take the White House. The Republicans will have Christie and Bush as the top contenders. Both are a no-go for the Conservatives and that may cost the Republicans the White House.

Comfort said women have been taking the New Jersey bar exam since 1895,

And the odds that at least of them was a breastfeeding mother approaches 100%

Lieawatha strikes again!!! This slag is more embarrassing than Ted Kennedy.

Kennedy and Kerry to Liawatha and Markey.

So, from (the) two worst Senators to (the) two worst Senators.

Nothing changes.
