The list of honors graduates is made public.

Do my tired old bones a favor and cite that for me, so we can all see His Kenyanness so honored, if you please.

And intelligence is not equal to wisdom or demonstrated experience. No one has ever claimed that graduating magna cum laude from HLS means someone has wisdom or demonstrated experience, but you'd be hard-pressed to argue that any HLS graduate with that distinction is not intelligent.

That may be a fair distinction, but Barry WhatsIts has yet to demonstrate even conversational intelligence, let alone expertise with deductive logic or abstract thought capability.

No, he seems to be more either an affirmative action free-pass example, or a Carl Levin-style regurgitator for which he *may* have received a coveted sheepskin.

Being a photostatic copy machine is, unfortunately, all that is required from most Ivy League covens. And given Barry's demonstrations to date, I'd say he's low on toner.

In those terms, how would you rate our previous President?

The lists on the HLS registrar's website don't go back more than a few years, but honors have always been made public at graduation and at the least everyone who was there at his would know if he were lying. It's not the sort of thing he could get away with.

Depends on the class. At law school generally the people with the best grades are the ones who are both smart and hard working. Smart students who work reasonably hard also tend to do well. Reasonably intelligent students who work very hard can do well, but they don't always. And less intelligent students almost never do well, no matter how hard they work.
