Note that Susan Estrich was HLR Pres in 1976.

Wiki - "In 1976, Estrich was elected the first female president/editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law"

The stupid news media can’t even get its facts straight about that. They are truly pathetic, and truly Obama flunkies.

I imagine that Estrich graded on to law review and that Obama made it by some alternative means like writing (perhaps plagiarizing) an essay about his life experiences. I went to an Ivy League law school (not Harvard). In my first year, eligibility for law review was changed from strictly grade-based to “grades plus,” i.e., grades plus an essay about the candidate’s “life experiences.” The essay supposedly was anonymous; however, because it was autobiographical, it was easy enough for the editors to identify blacks, gays and anyone else they wanted to hand pick for a prized spot on the law review. Could I have graded on? No. Did I participate in their sham selection process by submitting an essay? Heck no.
