Who to believe?
Frank, the white supremacist troll, or Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s leading and preeminent constitutional scholars and a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School?
Oohh... ' white supremacist', eh? What happened to ultra extreme far right?
Laurence Tripe? Who he?
Tribe is one of the co-founders of the liberal American Constitution Society, the law and policy organization formed to counter the conservative Federalist Society.
Tribe served as a judicial adviser to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. In February 2010, he was named "Senior Counselor for Access to Justice" in the Department of Justice.
A bit of an old activist geezer, eh? Reading on...
In 2004, Tribe acknowledged having plagiarized several phrases and a sentence in his 1985 book, God Save this Honorable Court, from a 1974 book by Henry Abraham.[45][46] After an investigation, Tribe was reprimanded by Harvard for "a significant lapse in proper academic practice," but the investigation concluded that Tribe did not intend to plagiarize.[47]
Tribe has stirred controversy due to his promotion of conspiracy theories about Donald Trump's fitness for the presidency.[48][49] Dartmouth political scientist Brendan Nyhan harshly criticized Tribe, saying that he "has become an important vector of misinformation and conspiracy theories on Twitter."[48] According to McKay Coppins of The Atlantic, Tribe has been "an especially active booster" of the Palmer Report, "a liberal blog known for peddling conspiracy theories".[50] Tribe removed the posted tweets following the Palmer Report and contests the accuracy of the story of controversy.
Wiki.
Who to believe, indeed. i
