[RedState] Kamala Harris graduated from Howard University without honors. Harris then applied to law school. She was admitted to Hastings School of Law at the University of California. Hastings is considered a good law school but not “elite." It ranks 80th of America’s ABA schools.
Admission isn't a "breeze" but it is pretty easy to be accepted for an honors student, with a solid LSAT. Of the total applicants to Hastings, about half are accepted and around a third of that number actually enroll. That means Hastings is a “backup” law school for a lot of the applicants.
She wasn't an honors student at Howard. There is no information on what Kamala Harris scored on her LSAT. We do know that she didn't pass the Bar on the first try when 80 percent of her classmates did pass. So how did a run-of-the-mill student, and daughter of a “privileged” upbringing get into Hastings School of Law?
Easy – she fudged her application. Harris was admitted under a program called LEOP. According to the University:
UC Hastings created the Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) in 1969 to make an outstanding legal education accessible to those who come from disadvantaged economic and educational backgrounds.
Students are encouraged to submit a “separate LEOP statement describing the adversity they faced and its impact on their academic preparedness for law school. Diagnostic reports documenting disabilities and/or accommodations can be submitted as addenda.”
A Politico article from 2021 describes Harris at Hastings:
In the fall of 1986, Harris arrived on campus at Hastings a week before most of her classmates. She was part of the pre-orientation Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP), which had been founded in 1969 to help law students from disadvantaged communities navigate the stringent demands of the first-year curriculum. Harris had come to a predominantly white institution after four years at a historically Black university. Beyond introducing students to Socratic pedagogy, case-briefing and exam-taking, the pre-orientation also gave students of color a sense of community and a hamlet of solidarity in a cut-throat environment.
Harris, the daughter of two college professors, who grew up attending private schools in Canada, was not, in the least, economically or socially disadvantaged.
During Harris’s time at Hastings she was, according to her resume, president of the BLSA and thus likely sat in judgment of who would get into Hastings via LEOP. Hastings' dean found out that the committee that selected students was interviewing applicants. He said that he stopped the interview process because it became clear that it wasn't accepting students based on need (or in Harris’s case a lack of need), but based on political leanings.
When he asked a selector about asking political questions He didn’t like the answer:
One student at the meeting said “well, we don’t ask those questions; we likely would get Clarence Thomases.”
That comment confirmed the Dean’s worst fears. The interview process was stopped but it was obvious that the program was left-leaning and biased.

He forgot not to say what at least some of them are thinking. To be fair, some on the other team are thinking the same about some of them. I read today that in some areas they’re seriously gearing up against the believed probability that there will be violence at the polls on Election Day.
Retiring President Biden stunned listeners Tuesday by saying his predecessor Donald Trump should be locked up — 14 days before the presidential election in which Trump is the Republican nominee.
"If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up: We gotta lock him up," Biden, 81, said during a visit to a Democratic campaign office in Concord, NH, the Granite State’s capital.
After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added in an apparent backtrack attempt: "politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do."
A person close to Biden, who often misspeaks in public, told The Post that the president’s follow-up comment meant that he hadn’t intended to call for Trump to be incarcerated.
However, the president and his aides typically refrain from commenting at all on the four pending criminal cases against Trump, who contends that a quartet of local and federal indictments last year were politically motivated to aid Biden’s then-re-election campaign.

[IsraelTimes] Mark Dion says his ‘pretentious’ support for successful motion to divest from firms linked to Israel was ‘a betrayal to the trust that Jewish people should expect’ from his office
May he and his party go down in flames in the next election.
Last month the mayor of Portland, Maine, shocked Jewish communities in his backyard and beyond when he expressed full-throated support for his city council’s successful resolution to divest from companies linked to Israel.
Now, Mayor Mark Dion is taking it all back.
"Upon personal reflection and following many private conversations I have had with our Jewish neighbors, I have come to the conclusion that my vote on the divestment was wrong," Dion said during prepared remarks at Monday’s city council meeting.
He went on to call his stance on divestment "pretentious," "a serious mistake in judgment" and "a betrayal to the trust that Jewish people should expect from the mayor’s office." Dion concluded his remarks by giving what he called a "sincere apology" for his vote.
The about-face was another whiplash moment in the battle around divestment that has taken on new urgency since Israel’s war with Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... began after the terror group’s October 7, 2023, attacks. Many colleges and universities have seen deep divisions over divestment proposals, and local governments have experienced their share as well.
Portland became the fourth, and highest-profile, American municipality since last October 7 to back some form of divestment when its council unanimously approved a plan in September to withdraw city funds from dozens of companies it said were "complicit in the current and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and occupation of Paleostine." Divestment proponents say the move is necessary to curb Israel’s retaliation in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands of people, and reduced most of the enclave to rubble.
The vote came over the stern objections of many in the local Jewish community, including the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine, the local federation arm, which denounced the move as a "one-sided" and "performative gesture." Local Jewish pro-Paleostinian activists voiced support for it, with the Maine chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace celebrating its passage.
At the time, the mayor supported divestment, calling it "the greatest act of friendship" and said it was the city’s role to "grab [Israel’s] shoulder and say, ’It’s enough. It’s simply enough.’"
But the local government found, to their evident surprise, that the measure was almost entirely symbolic. Weeks after its passage, Portland council members said the city does not have any funds invested in the dozens of companies on its divestment target list and that "no divestment is expected to occur" as a result of the resolution. (When the resolution was first proposed months ago, city officials said, Portland did hold shares in a technology company that provides Israel with screening technology used at military checkpoints; the city sold those funds prior to the resolution’s passage.)
Both Dion and some council members told the Portland Press Herald this news came as a surprise to them, and that they had believed Portland to be more heavily invested in companies that do business with Israel when they backed the resolution.
"I guess on reflection, it’s a high price to pay to create division and anxiety in the community," Kate Sykes, a council member who also backed the initial divestment vote, said afterward.
The local Jewish federation, which recently brought on its first permanent CEO, thanked the mayor for his apology.
"In his statement, Mayor Dion admits that the resolution, which he now believes was misguided, only served to marginalize Portland’s Jewish community — particularly those who view Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people," the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine wrote in a statement shared with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. "We appreciate his honesty in recognizing the harm this caused and the difficulty of navigating these intricate issues in a local setting."
In his apology, Dion echoed some long-standing Jewish communal criticisms of divestment measures, including that a local government has no business engaging in international matters. He also went further, saying that his support of the measure has damaged some relationships "which may never be repaired."
He added, "I had not only failed to stay in my lane, but I went totally off the road."
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Lots of that going on in both directions as the political realignment continues. May she find this as happy a fit as those who made the change before her.
