Kerry first applied to Harvard Law School. They turned him down due to inadequate grades as a Yale undergraduate. Thus, JF*K was forced to settle for BC.

The question of the year is How did Obama get into Harvard Law? Now there's a project for a young investigative reporter. Any takers? . .

They said a few words in 12th grade (68) about the evil Wilson and his laws. The FDR thing was covered as better leave sleeping dogs lie. In the end to spy's for japan never caught on that their purple code was cracked. They changed the code twice in six months. Now days lawyers don't use it for fear that it will be tossed out, hence its long life.

Why BC? I thought he applied to Yale as well.

I'm pretty certain that Kerry's first choice was Harvard Law. He was intent on following in JFK's footsteps.

BC may well have come in second because of Fr. Drinan.

I don't recall anything about him applying to Yale Law. Recall the FReeper Congressman BillyBob? He was a Kerry antagonist at Yale -- knew him well, hated his guts. I think BillyBob would've mentioned it had Kerry applied for Yale Law.

If he were following JFK(1), he’d have gone to Harvard undergrad. He didn’t—he went to Yale but couldn’t get into Yale Law (wish I could remember where I read or heard that!), never mind Harvard.

The notorious BC Law School head---Fr. Drinan--ran for and was elected to Congress....

Then his boss---the Pope---told him he wasn't too pleased about that. He had better quit Congress.

And he did.

Hmmmmm......DOJ/Ohaha's using the 1917 Espionage Act to nail journos --- poor overworked Valerie Jarrett burned the midnight oil to come up with that one (cackle).

REFERENCE The DOJ search warrant in the Rosen case cites Section 793(d) of Title 18 of the U.S. Code ...... a person lawfully in possession of secret govt-classified info who turns it over to someone not lawfully entitled to posses it has committed a crime (The source).....anyone who conspires to help the source do that has committed the same crime (The journo).

So why the brouhaha? B/c the Obummber crew has NEVER, EVER exhibited a modicum of interest in defending US ntl security from foreign domination ---- nor has it exhibited a concern for the life and liberties of Americans.

On the contrary----via "immigration reform" Ohaha is forcing on Americans entire primitive populations of creepy savages emanating from antediluvean Third World countries.

THIS IS RICH When the Nigerian jihadist butchered the Brit soldier, then defiantly gave an interview with blood-soaked hands, Ohaha okayed $50 million to his homeland---Kenya---as a sign of Ohaha's "tolerance and compassion.".

===============================================

$50 mill to another jihadist hellhole means more stupid futile nation-building ---- to subsidize living standards for dumbos still living in huts---w/ no water, electricity, adequate shelter and food.

But forget these "amenities" --- your tax dollars will build Kenyan "madrassas" to train more of these jihadist zealots to butcher innocent people.

If the Lyin’ King can use a 1917 definition of “Espionage” to squash Freedom of the Press, then Perhaps we can use the Constitutional Definition of TREASON to squash HIM!

Isn’t that sentence just bloody weird? I normally have reasonable respect for Barone, I have to wonder how this sneaks into something he has written. How did that happen? Did some staff intern sit down at his word proc while he went to the can but left his computer open?

Wilson was the father of the Federal Reserve in the US. As such he also gave US sovereignty of US finances to the big money baggers in Europe such as the Rothschilds who gave us the likes of Soros and Europe the likes of Marks, Lenin and the communists who would burn our Constitution.

Yes. I was surprised that this particular Jesuit still took orders from his boss. Several of the other Jebbies didn’t.

Barack Obama and his Justice Department seem to be of a different mind. They have used the Espionage Act of 1917 six times to bring cases against government officials for leaks to the media — twice as many as all their predecessors combined.

Here’s a video of several journalists being harassed by Homeland Security... scary stuff...

Could there be an additional level to the suppression of information by Obama and Co.?

Mind Control.
