Surprise! Kamala Harris Took Advantage of an Affirmative Action Program for "Disadvantaged Children" Despite Being the Daughter of Two Well-Off Professors

She is the worst example of DEI anti-meritocracy.

She got into a very meh law school named Hastings.

And she didn't even get in on her own merits.

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."
In a Politico article from 2021, the author 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. But there she is, claiming she was.

Further evidence she's a DEI hire? She's a plagiarist.

I don't just mean the extensive plagiarism in "her" book, "Smart" on Crime. We covered that last week.

But there are new charges that she plagiarized almost the entire speech of an attorney general. One part she didn't plagiarize, though: she took a fictitious example of a sex crime, changed the city the imaginary incident occurred in, and presented it a real.

That part, presenting a fake "for example" scenario as real? That was Pure Kamala.

But apart from simply making up a lie for the speech, she stole the rest of it.

On April 24, 2007, Kamala Harris testified before Congress in support of the John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive Act of 2007. The bill, which was introduced that year but never passed the upper chamber, would have created a student loan repayment program for state and local prosecutors, and Harris, then the district attorney of San Francisco, argued it would draw top legal talent to offices like hers.

In a written statement to the House Judiciary Committee, she described how debt-addled prosecutors often decamp to the private sector a few years into the job, lured by the prospect of higher pay that could be used to pay off law school debt. That dynamic had left many district attorneys' offices short-staffed, she said, forcing them to put rookie attorneys on complex cases.
"There are numerous criminal cases that are particularly difficult because of the dynamics involved," Harris wrote. "To name just a few--child abuse, elder neglect, domestic violence, identity theft and public corruption. The stakes are simply too high to allow any attorney other than experienced prosecutors to handle these matters."
By repaying the loans of prosecutors and public defenders, Harris argued, the bill, which had been introduced with bipartisan support, would provide an incentive for lawyers to enter public service, or at least diminish the incentive to leave it.
The statement was simple and pragmatic. But Harris wasn't the first person to make it.
Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both statements cite the same surveys, use the same language, and make the same points in the same order, with a paragraph added here or there. They even contain the same typos, such as missing punctuation or mistaken plurals. One error--a "who" that should have been a "whom"--was corrected in Harris's transposition.

Go to the Free Beacon's article to see the speeches side-by-side. They're virtually identical.

The main difference between their testimonies is that Logli submitted his to the Senate instead of the House. And unlike Harris, Logli is a Republican.
Harris, who also testified about two other bills that day, devoted approximately 1,500 words to the John R. Justice Act. Nearly 1,200 of them--or 80 percent--were copied verbatim from the statement Logli submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 27, 2007, two months before Harris delivered her testimony.
...
The passages are some of the most striking cases in which Harris, a former senator and state attorney general, appears to have plagiarized in her capacity as a government official, lifting large chunks of texts from other attorneys--and in one case from Wikipedia--without attribution, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of her work.
...
[A]s California attorney general, she didn't just copy boilerplate language without attribution. In one of the lengthier passages reviewed by Free Beacon, she lifted a fictionalized story about a victim of sex trafficking--and presented it as a real case.
The story came from Polaris Project, a nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline. By June 2012, the project had posted a series of vignettes on its website that were "representative of the types of calls" the hotline receives and "meant for informational purposes only," according to an archived webpage. To preserve confidentiality, the project said, key details like "names, locations, and other identifying information" had been changed.
But in November 2012, Harris included one of those vignettes in a report she published on the state of human trafficking in California. Though she said that the story was "courtesy of" the hotline, she copied it verbatim and did not acknowledge that it contained fictionalized material.
The only detail she changed was the location. The Polaris Project described a young woman, "Kelly," who had been forced to engage in prostitution and was rescued by law enforcement in Washington, D.C. But in Harris's telling, Kelly had conveniently been found in San Francisco.
The change effectively gave Harris credit for a rescue that never occurred, at least in her state, and reflects what Skinner, the former solicitor general, said was a common perception of Harris among legal officials at the time.
"She was never viewed in the Attorney General community as being an intellectual leader," he said. "It is very on-brand with that reputation to hear now that she was repackaging stories from other locations as though they happened in California."
The story from the hotline wasn't a one-off. In a 2010 report on organized crime, Harris copied several passages from Bill Lockyer, one of her predecessors as California attorney general, without attribution.
In the 2012 report on human trafficking, she copied a paragraph from Wikipedia.
And in a 2014 report on transnational gangs, she copied several sentences from Roger McDonough, a New York State judge, as well as McDonough's footnotes.

Everything about Kamala Harris, from whispers about her ignoring reports, berating staff for not preparing her properly, word salad non-answers to questions she knows will be coming, to this latest round of plagiarism examples point to one common thread: She is unimaginably lazy https://t.co/U7YVrpxRyf
— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) October 22, 2024

Ekdahl says she's lazy. Trump says she's dumb.

Both are right.

I would point out, though, that Kamala's problems -- not being able to do her own work, constantly demanding that others "position her for success," not reading report her staff writes for her and then screaming at them when she's embarrassed due to her own ignorance -- are also signs of being 1, a coddled, protected DEI incompetent, and 2, a day-drinking drunk.

This works. It worked for Harris. It has worked for countless others. That is because these programs are *not* - and never have been - what they say on the tin. These are race-preference programs, and they hail from an era when those couldn't exist on paper.

All right-thinking people know - and knew - that these were race programs, not economic ones. The "disadvantaged" angle was a necessary legal fiction. I knew one of these people in college. A friend of mine. He played it up *hard.* He was a Latino. He made it sound like he came from a family of dirt-farming migrants who grew up without running water.

Then I met his mom. She was a paralegal. His dad was a senior foreman or somesuch for a big construction firm. Both were natural-born US citizens. They weren't poor migrants or whatever. It was fiction. He got free money for being a Latino, knew it, and played it up to keep the con going.

someone with pull wants her to hurt. No idea if it is Biden because she didn't back him up and then took all his campaign cash, or all the Tech bros who are looking confiscatory taxes in the face, or some fairly long visioned people who realize she is the probably second coming of FDR with all his graft, grift, new deal theft and habitual lying.

Posted by: ShainS

Less able to do the mass steal the way they did in 2020 due to mail in ballots not being the primary way to be able to vote in most states. Plus more scrutiny. Some speculation the Dems have moved to trying to bring in fake votes from overseas and the RNC has sued and lost in MI and NC over it.

Bypasses Voter ID in NC and Democrats are arguing that they can submit these in any state regardless of whether there is a tie or residence to that state.

200 But seriously, I hate the dems are openly endorsing human trafficking and suffering, and the GOP cannot find a way to capitalize on this. Every bathroom rest stall at highway rest stops or in public buildings now has public service messages on the doors of the stalls, telling you who to call if you are being trafficked. And the words are translated to Cyrillic and Spanish. That never happened before. Horrible things are settling into being the norm. I hate it.
Posted by: LizLem

Cartels, Fentanyl from China, and open borders have some supporters on the GOP side as well. That is because some odious slugs in human form benefit from human and drug trafficking via an open border. These are the bankers (money laundering and transfer fees in cash coming in and going out), the real estate developers, cheapskate farmers and construction firms, the Med industry (state and federal spending loopholes allowing illegals to use Medicaid (see the 90 day rule)) and so on.

Quite a few of these evil twits are big donors to the GOP campaigns in some states and are probably the backbone to the decaying McCain organization in AZ and the rancid Kemp etc administration in GA.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at October 22, 2024 06:28 PM (FnneF)

270 I went to the law school formerly known as Hastings about 15 years after Kamala did. It's a very "meh" school today (ranked like #80), but it was more highly regarded (ranked around #40) when I went, and somewhere in the #20-25 range when she went.

Expansion of LEOP has hurt its rankings. There was a lot of focus on LEOP when I was there, even more so today. Many of those students drop out after the first year, and many of the ones who make it through drag down bar passage rates and first-year salary stats. Also, the school has a lot of focus on public sector and nonprofit practice; a lot more so today. That doesn't generally attract the highest LSAT scoring students who want to make huge $$$ working BigLaw.

I knew a few LEOP students. One went into a public defender's office and is now a private criminal defense lawyer. She was middling smart. One was quite smart and has done well professionally. Another struggled with Socratic questions in class and dropped out after 1L year. Another was pretty smart and a real good dude, but didn't pass the bar and went into another field.

Out of curiosity, does this matter? It seems like "academic rankings"
- assuming they're somewhat honest, anyway - wouldn't matter in the vast middle.

Top 10? Sure. Top 25? Even Top 50? Likely. Same with the bottom, expressed as a percentage.

Try to get into a Top 50, avoid the bottom 25%. But is anyone in the rest of the field really all that different from the others? How much difference is there really between the #75 school and the unranked school that isn't total shit?

It seems like being ranked between 51 and maybe 500 is worse than useless. It just says, "average, but more expensive than it should be."

Or am I way off on all this? Serious question.

Posted by: bonhomme

Several reasons, Venezuela and Mexico were giving Cuba low cost oil to run their power plants. They have turned off the taps--Venezuela now needs the oil for home use and Mexico ?.

The electric generating plants are also old US made oil burning plants and no spare parts are allowed to be sold from the US (embargo) and probably not available elsewhere due to being really old. Oil based generating plants in the rest of the world were replaced wholesale after the 70's and 80's oil shocks with coal burning plants.

Basically the communists in Cuba have run out of countries to leech from and can't probably fix it very well themselves.

Posted by: Question Authority bumper sticker

Grouped together as the "Imprecatory Psalms." Psalm 69 is a good one:

Charge them with crime after crime, exclude them from Your saving justice, erase them from the Book of Life, do not enroll them among the upright.

That's a smitin'.

328 When I was thinking of law school I was told by lawyers I talked to, either get into a top 25 or don’t bother. Because the money won’t be there and you’re better off not going if you can’t get into an elite school.

How true this was I don’t know. But it’s what those guys were adamant about.

Now is an excellent time for thousands of US Special Forces to infiltrate Cuba portraying themselves as citizens and assisting the lights to stay out while at the same time sabotaging crucial military comms. Then infiltrate their seat of government. When the lights come on, they have a new country with a new leader.

337 310: "Out of curiosity, does this matter? It seems like "academic rankings" - assuming they're somewhat honest, anyway - wouldn't matter in the vast middle."

"Rankings" (usually by US News) are based on factors like average LSAT scores, bar passage rates, admissions selectivity, and other factors. They matter in the sense of how impressed people are going to be that you went there. Which is stupid in some contexts, but it really makes a difference in your employment opportunities.

Good luck getting a $200K+ starting salary at a BigLaw firm in any school outside the top 30. Those firms don't interview at the middling schools, and can easily fill their ranks with students from the top 20. Those firms' clients won't pay their billing rates for lawyers from schools they've never heard of. Some Hastings students in the top 10-15%, including me, got those jobs when I was there.

And good luck getting a federal judge clerkship (which opens all kinds of career doors later on) from any school outside the top 20; a federal appeals judge clerkship outside the top 10, or a Supreme Court clerkship outside of Harvard, Yale, or Stanford. Even if you're the class valedictorian.

Larry Elder has actually touted them as important and necessary on his show. He said some brilliant black kids do exceptionally well there, they are challenged and thrive in the environment. Some kids who should go there to thrive, instead aim for the ivies. But ivies can be tough, even for the smartest of the smart. It's not just the studies, it's the culture. Some black kids go thinking it will give them a leg up, only to be spit out by the system. They leave it demoralized and bitter. He has personal stories of this happening to people he knew.

344 Allow me to relate a story of young YD.

When I was 15, I got popped for a crime I did with an accomplice. We both came from similar, well-heeled, well-educated families who lived on the same street. We knew each other so well because we were from literally the exact same upper middle class background.

Once we got fucked over by Johnny Law, his parents got him some jumped up attorney, while mine told me to figure it out, because they were super pissed at me, so I represented myself in the same case, because I couldn't afford some jumped up attorney.

His attorney pled him not guilty - on account of the fact that he came from a good family, and I was obviously the ringleader who came from some trashy family who tempted him into a life of crime.

I pled guilty. I used my closing statement to denounce his attorney for painting my innocent parents as crooks for my crime.

The judge and jury ended up handing us the same sentence, in the same jail.

His attorney, after soaking them for thousands, ended up shooting himself shortly afterward, in a standoff with the cops,when his stripper girlfriend left him for beating her.

Such is life, with an attorney like Harris.

345 re 340: was looking up someone else (barky passed the illinois bar exam the first time.)

Although she did pass the Arkansas bar exam, Hillary Clinton never was able to pass the D.C. bar exam. This didn't deter her from carving out a successful career practicing corporate law for the Rose Law Firm. Later, she became a public servant and served as Secretary of State. She even ran for president twice.

[i wonder what the pass/fail ratio was for the ark bar exam. i've read that the d.c. exam wasn't that hard))

346 328: "When I was thinking of law school I was told by lawyers I talked to, either get into a top 25 or don’t bother."

That's not entirely true. But in the middle or bottom of the law school pack, you'll need to have an alternative career path than a big firm job, or even a DA / PD / US Attorney job.

There is a personal injury lawyer on billboards and TV ads all over Northern California and expanding into SoCal, who went to a law school that's not even ABA accredited and therefore unranked. She had to build her own firm from scratch, and it has become very successful. Ask anyone in the Bay Area "Something wrong?" and 9 times out of 10 they'll respond "Call Anh Phoong!"

My understanding is that the California bar exam historically was quite difficult because until relatively recently you didn't have to go to law school to practice law,you just had to pass the California bar exam.

Fun fact: the patent bar exam has a 30% or so pass rate because patent agents are not lawyers, but rather scientists and engineers.

356 Whig, Mexico turned off the oil due to the recent elections and it is questionable if the new La presidente decides to restart the subsidy. The other problem is that there is a huge deficit in the generation and transmission net in Cuba. One of the main plants went down and apparently they are having trouble restarting it.
