The two liberal professors were none other than Lawrence Tribe and Charles Ogletree. Tribe, a favorite of media leftists, was one of Obama’s professors at Harvard Law School. (Tribe also argued Al Gore’s case before the Florida Supreme Court after the November 2000 election). Ogletree was the faculty advisor to the Black Law Students Association, a vocal advocate of slavery reparations, and a former Obama advisor. Ogletree was also the attorney for Anita Hill during Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s controversial confirmation hearings.) http://www.facebook.com/l/6739f;JewishWorldReview.com notes that Kagan treated Tribe and Ogletree “with kid gloves when they were busted for plagiarism. Her chicanery was so blatant that even a leftist academic said she should be fired for her ‘whitewash.’” Kagan “let the professors off easy for the kind of offense that for which any Harvard undergraduate or law school would have been suspended if not expelled.” Kagan was joined by Harvard President Lawrence Summers (a current Obama economic advisor) in declining to punish the two leftist professors. The Harvard Crimson wrote, “the glaring double standard …stands as an inadequate precedent for future disappointments.” (For his 2004 book, All Deliberate Speed, Ogletree lifted six paragraphs from a 2001 book by Yale Law School professor Jack Balkin, What Brown v. Board of Education Should Have Said.) Tribe’s 1985 book, God Save This Honourable Court, “borrowed heavily” from University of Virginia professor Henry Abraham’s 1974 book, Justice and Presidents. Ogletree and Trobe escaped punishment from Kagan and Summers. JewishWorldReview rightfully asks, “As for Kagan and her possible new job, given how little integrity she displayed at Harvard is there any reason to think she'll have any at the Supreme Court?”
