Where does this bullshit originate, and why do boneheads swallow it
uncritically?

I have spent a good few minutes searching on "Caroline Kennedy" +
"constitutional scholar", plus a few other search terms thrown in, and I
can find *NO* documentation for this. The only things that turn up are
anonymous people commenting in blogs, all of whom keep calling her a
"constitutional scholar" but without saying how they know it. Yes, it
seems to be the Scheisskopf Effect again: "everybody" says she's a
constitutional scholar, because...well, because "everybody says so."

In fact, while there isn't much doubt she graduated law school, and
maybe even passed a bar exam somewhere, there is little evidence that
she had any kind of legal career at all. The Boston Globe writes:

A trained attorney who does not practice law, Caroline Kennedy
*dabbled* in legal scholarship and New York civic life while raising
three children with her husband, Edwin Schlossberg. [emphasis added]

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/12/10/caroline_kennedys_new_political_turn/

The AARP linked to the story on their page, too:
http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politics/articles/caroline_kennedy_s.html


I'm not convinced she had *any* kind of significant career in law at
all, much less that she is a "respected constitutional scholar", as the
colossal fuckwit milt shook - the stupidest poster on Usenet - shit
himself in posting:

She's been one of the most respected Constitutional scholars in the
country for years, and has extensive experience as a lawyer, as well.

shookie, the stupidest poster on Usenet, is just showing he's completely
and slavishly subject to the Scheisskopf Effect when he writes shit like
that. He has *NO* evidence for what he wrote.

That's some pretty shoddy searching on your part, that didn't find her
books, /In Our Defense/ and /The Right to Privacy/, both co-authored
with Ellen Alderman.

She has proved herself to beastute, competent, and hard working for several
NY city departments and agencies, most importantly in public education. This
woman is a winner, unlike McCain, Palin & Bush. This is not a handout to a
Kennedy. She has merit.

What is more, she isn't up for the Supreme Court. Obama was a senator and a
Constitutional scholar, but not many senators are in his league --- or
Kennedy's.

Obama was a non-entity as a U.S. senator, and I'm not even persuaded of
his credentials as a "constitutional scholar". *EVERY* person who
graduates law school is a "constitutional scholar" to some extent.

As for Sweet Caroline, she is trading on her name, only.

It's a handout, and an extremely cynical one at that.

In any case, there *still* is no evidence that she is "...one of the

evidence she is a "constitutional scholar" at all.

I read everything I could find, including some bullshit from irrational

that she is a "constitutional scholar".

Plus it's not that great as a handout. To stay there, she'll have to run
and win in 2010 and then again in 2012 when Clinton's term expires. The
cynical reason for choosing her isn't to reward a Kennedy, it's because
a Kennedy has a good chance of keeping the seat for the Democrats.

I'd bet she'd poll well on whether people have a favorable or
unfavorable impression of her. On the other hand, nothing hurts one's
approval rating like entering politics.

Neither book, of course, is a scholarly work. Both are written for
popular consumption. /The Right to Privacy/ was "reviewed" in
Entertainment Weekly, for the love of fuck. Here's how they describe it:

Most of THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY (Knopf, $26.95) consists of tales about
people whose dignity has been trampled by officious busybodies --
cops, school authorities, the media, employers. What they all share,
however, is a determination to resist intrusion, albeit with
decidedly mixed results. Contrary to popular belief, the word privacy
appears nowhere in the U.S. Constitution, and the law must often
balance competing interests (students versus teachers, cops versus
suspects, etc.).

Thank you for confirming my strongly held intuition that Sweet Caroline
is *not* "...one of the most respected Constitutional scholars in the
country", as milt shook - who *is* the stupidest poster on Usenet -
hyperbolically put it (and shit himself at the same time.)

I have spent a good few minutes searching on "Caroline Kennedy" +
"constitutional scholar", plus a few other search terms thrown in,
and I can find *NO* documentation for this. The only things that
turn up are anonymous people commenting in blogs, all of whom keep
calling her a "constitutional scholar" but without saying how they
"everybody" says she's a constitutional scholar, because...well,
because "everybody says so."
That's some pretty shoddy searching on your part, that didn't find
her books, /In Our Defense/ and /The Right to Privacy/, both
co-authored with Ellen Alderman.
In other words, Ms. Alderman wrote the books, and Caroline Kennedy put
her name on them.
In other words, you shot off your mouth without knowing what you were
talking about.
No, not in the least. My view - that she is in no way a "constitutional
scholar" - so far is fully confirmed. You contributed, albeit
unwittingly, to the confirmation. I thank you for that.

Had you even read the Wikipedia article on her
I did, and I just re-read it. You are an idiot.
Post by Bryan Olson
you would have found that she published books about constitutional law.
That's false. Here's what Wikipedia says: "Kennedy and Ellen Alderman
have written two books together on civil liberties".

In fact, the words "constitution", "constitutional" and "scholar" appear
nowhere in the Wikipedia article. Did you lie, or are you just a
slovenly, uncomprehending reader like Bill Zaumen?

There is nothing in the Wikipedia article on her to suggest, in any way,
that she had much of a law career. Apart from mentioning that she
graduated from Columbia law school, the sole mention of her law career
is: "Kennedy is an attorney, editor, writer and member of the New York
and Washington, D.C. bar associations."

So, if you have some other evidence supporting this increasingly dubious
claim that she is a "constitutional scholar", please present it. For
now, my skepticism regarding the claim is only increasing.

They're not scholarly works, "dude". They were written and published
for popular consumption.

It's worth noting, "dude", that nowhere in either review are the books
described as constitutional scholarship. It seems to me, "dude, that
you are the one digging the hole, and now you're pulling the soil in on
top of yourself.

Why did you snip the part that shows you misread - or willfully
misrepresented? - the Wikipedia entry on Caroline Kennedy, "dude"? You
claimed, falsely, that the Wikipedia entry claims she published books
about constitutional law. Your claim is crap. There is nothing in the
Wikipedia article on her to suggest, in any way, that she had much of a
law career. Apart from mentioning that she graduated from Columbia law
school, the sole mention of her law career is: "Kennedy is an attorney,
editor, writer and member of the New York and Washington, D.C. bar
associations." Not one word about "constitutional scholarship".

So, if you have some other evidence supporting this increasingly dubious
claim that she is a "constitutional scholar", please present it. For
now, my skepticism regarding the claim is only increasing.

Yawn. They're books about constitutional law, contrary to your
reporting. Now you have a long-winded diatribe about her books, where
before your shoddy work lead you to conclude that people had no reason
to think of her as a constitutional scholar.

Yes, indeed. Ms. Alderman wrote, Sweet Caroline attached her name to
the final draft.

Who you voted for twice.
Not "Scholar"; scholar. It is not a proper noun. Also, whom, not
"who". You're barely even semi-literate.

I didn't vote for Bush even once.
