Professors and students at the law school reacted cautiously to Mr. Obama’s selection. ‘’For better or for worse, people will view it as historically significant,’’ said Prof. Randall Kennedy, who teaches contracts and race relations law. ‘’But I hope it won’t overwhelm this individual student’s achievement.’’

Excellent find! I didn’t know Susan Estrich was part of the gang. This shows that the Ivy League is now completely infiltrated by Leftist Know-Nothings.

A member of my family was a law student at the University of Chicago Law School in the late 70’s. I attended lectures one day - and it was heavyweight after heavyweight after heavyweight. Scalia, Richard Epstein, Edward Levi among them.

In addition to the fact that he was never actually on the faculty at The U. of C. Law School, I have not seen anything in Obama’s performance as President that remotely suggests he would belong there. He’s not in their league intellectually, which is proven every time he presents a speech that could easily be delivered extemporaneously by anyone with a mind, by reading from a teleprompter.

''But it's important that stories like mine aren't used to say that everything is O.K. for blacks. You have to remember that for every one of me, there are hundreds or thousands of black students with at least equal talent who don't get a chance,''

Not everyone gets a boost from Soros and Saudis, or has the advantage of a typical white grandmother to keep him off the streets, more or less. The president of the law review usually goes on to serve as a clerk for a judge on the Federal Court of Appeals for a year, and then as a clerk for an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

But this one got to dis the Supreme Court, right to (many of) their faces, in front of Congress, the American People and God himself.

The first female editor of The Harvard Law Review was Susan Estrich, in 1977

OMG, the place is a nest of vipers.
