Kavanaugh wasn’t into that, but if he had been, I’m certain she would have sent him a lineup of attractive young men.

All with the right “look.” |

| I once heard an interview of her on NPR and she had so many funny malapropisms I had to wonder how did she get as far as she did in life. She talked about when she was pregnant and what her daughter was like in vitro when she clearly meant in utero. That was the only example I remember now but there were others. Could she be not as smart as she wants us to think? |

| Jed is an ass. The formal allegations against him were only the tip of the iceberg. He was even smarmier 10-20 years ago and is lucky many of this folks moved on with this lives. (Also, he tended to reward rather than retaliate against those he behaved most inappropriately towards even once their dalliances ended, so I don’t think many of his biggest victims would really be out to get him.) Amy is an idiot who wrote almost none of her most recent book. Sophia is actually really smart & nice; surprisingly good people. (I don’t know Lulu.) |

I'm not sure how they met, but he got an offer from YLS, and was there for some time while she was still at--I wanna say Duke, but someplace in the South. There was a lot of gossip back then (20 years ago) about his dating students, their having an open marriage, and him preferring to have a "breaks and long weekends" marriage with her, but she lobbied aggressively to get the job at Yale. YLS did not do "trailing spouses" offers, so it was sort of a big deal and talked about, whether she earned it on her own right or not. It was hard to tell if a lot of that, at the time, was sexist (that she didn't deserve the Yale post and only got it on his coat-tails), but the YLS dean at the time was kind of cut from the same cloth as Jed anyway. I didn't know anyone that hooked up with him -- there were just always a lot of comments that someone knew someone that knew someone who had. I wouldn't say that Jed was one of YLS's "most powerful" professors at this point--whatever that even means. He was picked as a rising young star, but I'm not really sure what he's done since then other than play the clerk-placing game, and I don't really think of him as being some great legal mind in the tradition of some of the YLS professors. PS I think you are totally wrong about Elizabeth Warren, who was incredibly popular and well-respected as a HLS professor, and I don't think you know her well enough to call her Liz. |

Damn, all I know is from her book. Which was gross, but a tiiiiiny part of it rang true to me (ex my K student is starting with two week long lesson about how it’s ok to make mistakes). Anyway! I felt like she checked out on him while her kids were growing up, but he came across as a well meaning go-along.
Can not wait to see how this plays out! I saw on her twitter feed she took time off a while ago after a bear death health emergency. Que escândalo! |

I edited a law review article Jed Rubenfeld wrote once and it was fine. He was professional and not a jerk; we never met in person though.
I follow Lulu Rubenfeld on twitter and she is funny but oblivious to her privilege (as are we all I suppose). |

Warren absolutely got her Harvard gig off her husband Bruce Mann's coattails -- he's the Carl F. Schipper, Jr. Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. |

| Just reading her Tiger Mom books it was pretty obvious they had no sex life. |

| Meh. He tried to bang but could not bang. Big difference. |
