| A prominent defender of Elizabeth Warren's legal work while on the Harvard faculty has been presented with new facts and conceded that she is in heap big trouble. I wrote about Mark Thompson's defense of her right to file briefs in federal court three days ago. But the remarkable William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection has now discovered that Warren represented a Massachusetts client in Massachusetts, and Thompson has conceded the case. Professor Jacobson has uncovered this morning a case in which Elizabeth Warren entered an appearance in a federal appellate court as a representative of a Massachusetts client

What never gets said is the plain fact...
in this case, that her unlawful behavior is a personal rejection of the constitutional basis of our republic.
Why don't pundits and journalists say such?

She's only in "heap big trouble" if someone in the major media decides to make this an issue. And by major media I mean the conservative press. Everybody on both sides is avoiding it like the plague. If only bloggers regard this matter as important, she skates.

Nothing will happen because: A. She's a Democrat B. It's Massachusetts C. She's an American Indian...any talk of holding her responsible for this obvious "oversight" is RACIST This squaw is home free!

The allegations are serious and are proving out. It's becoming hard to see how the liberal media and Massachusetts Democrats can keep this from dragging her to a stop before the election.
Lawyers have been offering various excuses and exonerating scenarios, but in the end I think they will choose to insulate their professional prerogatives, and Ms Warren will be left to face her legal troubles on her own.
Yelping protesters outside of her campaig appearances will be the least of her problems.

Liz Warren isn't worried. Democrats don't need to follow the rule of law, even if one is credited with a degree from the very profession.

What do BHO, Michelle and Elizabeth Warren have in common? 1. Harvard Law School 2. ALL have lost their Law Licenses or been forced to give them up before INVESTIGATIONs could be initiated. Warren gave up her law License in New Jersey on Sept. 11, 2012 - coincidence??? Will the New Jersey Bar investigate? The Texas Bar? The Mass Bar??? Will she be prosecuted in MASS??? Will Harvard Faculty demand this AA fraud and criminal be terminated immediately? or will they see if she gets elected so they have a Friend in the Senate again? Will the SENATE seat this Fraud/alleged Criminal???

This, if she is able to slide, creates a lousy precedent. Here is a hypothetical case. Ralph Doe practices law in Georgia, let's say. And he is forced to surrender his license to practice law because of fraudulent filings. He then gets a teaching job at a law school in Massachusetts. Under the thinking of the defenders of Warren, Ralph Doe could practice law in Massachusetts., because he was a law professor!

Despicable example of Democrap liberal who thinks laws are for other people. She should immediately be forced to quit the race but she will claim ignorance of the law and get away with it.
Mass. deserves the stupid people who run in it's elections. The voters in Mass. must have mush for brains and Hahvaad is just as bad, as it never once questioned any of her qualifications or actions.
Who would want to send their kid to a school with instructors like that?

Professor Jacobson is to be commended. After the tragic death of Andrew Breitbart he wrote he was retooling his efforts. Since then not only has his site Legal Insurrection been doing original reporting but he has opened a sister site, College Insurrection. The above is just some of the good work he and his correspondents have been doing.

Warren is a criminal. That's perfectly understandable seeing as how close she is to 0bama. About the only thing protecting her right now is that the statute of limitations might be up on her activities because somewhere someone who was essentially robbed by her charging for an illegal service is NOT a Democrat and wants compensation.

God bless Prof Jacobsson. He is one in a million. Shame that there are not more men in his position with his integrity. But, at least he got one legal scholar who was promoting Warren to rethink his support and admit Jacobsson was correct in his findings against Warren. Hope to see him on the Supreme Court one day soon.

Remember president Obama´s first pitch of the MLB 2010 season at the Washington Nationals ballpark? It sailed towards the home team dugout. While he couldn´t throw a baseball within ten feet of home plate -- even if it took a double bounce on the way in -- Obama has tossed perfect incendiary strikes inside his own clubhouse, sending his entire team to the disabled list, demoted to the minor leagues, or banned from the game for life. In fact Obama´s entire liberal-progressive league has forfeited the rest of the season -- and then some.

Hey, liberals! Obama thinks you are stupid. Yeah, he really does. He knew Benghazi was terrorism before he didn´t know it was terrorism. Addressing a question about Benghazi in his press conference Monday, May 13, 2013, Obama´s "logic" really made an impression: "The Day after it happened I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism." (snip) Leaving behind Obama´s initial certitude about Benghazi having been a terror attack, not only did he not know what had happened because it wasn´t clear

What person ever says what he really knows at a funeral? Eulogies bearing little or no resemblance to the deceased or to the facts are trotted out by people who are often bad actors, who though they know better, lie anyway. It´s almost acceptable behavior. But any truth about the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christ Stevens and three other Americans appears to have been put six feet under as far as our current administration is concerned. (snip)Did they love Chris Stevens the way Brutus loved Caesar?

Somewhere, Andrew Breitbart is smiling. You can almost see the metaphorical light bulbs going on in bubbles over the heads of liberal media figures. Obama loyalists are expressing outrage at the subpoenaing of the phone records of 20 lines serving over a hundred AP reporters. The timing could not be better.(snip) the AP scandal´s significance entirely lies with its effect on the media´s mindset on Obama. They have been cheerleading for him for six years,

Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted yesterday on three counts of first-degree murder, not to mention a slew of other charges, including involuntary manslaughter (for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar), infanticide, and abortions past Pennsylvania´s legal limit. (snip)in a culture dominated by the 24-hour news cycle, it will be easy for Americans to consider the abortion issue closed with the Gosnell verdict. The pro-life movement´s challenge, as [Lila] Rose says, is to keep the American people focused on how common Gosnell-like practices are in the abortion industry, and on all the unsung victims abortion

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday.

Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
