Elizabeth Warren Tag

The Massachusetts Republican State Committee has sent out a mailer, forwarded to me be a reader, which hits Elizabeth Warren very hard on her false claim to be Cherokee. The mailer is very well done because it presents a lot of facts, including a timeline of Warren's changing self-identifications as...

During the Friday before a holiday weekend road trip from hell yesterday (8 hours from Ithaca to Rhode Island), I took a half hour detour to talk with Howie Carr about Elizabeth Warren's crumbling story about her parent's elopement, and how her defenders have devolved...

I previously wrote about how Elizabeth Warren elopement story falls apart.  That "story" is Warren's claim that she always believed she was Native American because her parents said they had to elope because her father's white family would not accept her mother because her mother was part Cherokee and...

I was just on the Silvio Canto Blog Talk Radio Show, and towards the end of our discussion, when I was talking about how Elizabeth Warren has worked on at least 22 court litigations since joining Harvard earning hundreds of thousands of dollars, it dawned...

Issued speculative "personal" opinion...

Elizabeth Warren still is not Cherokee.  She never was. Her family lore is grossly exaggerated, in all likelihood by Warren herself not her parents.  Yet whenever anyone questions this family lore, Warren acts like it is an attack on her family, thereby shutting down challenges to...

The Boston Globe is being dragged kicking and screaming to facts regarding Elizabeth Warren's private law practice history, including her representation of Dow Chemical which Warren never previously disclosed to the press (emphasis mine): Warren, a Harvard Law School bankruptcy specialist, released a list of 13 cases Monday...

Unwittingly also demonstrates her extensive practice of law from her Massachusetts office...

Despite a Drudge link, huge linkage everywhere in the conservative blogosphere, and defensiveness in the left-legal blogosphere, Elizabeth Warren's law license problem has not broken into the mainstream media. Other than some passing references, the Boston press has ignored it, even as debates raged on the...

In 2005, then University of Chicago Law School Assistant Professor Lea Krivinskas (now at Loyola Univ. - Chicago Law), wrote a paper for the American Bankruptcy Law Journal, titled 'Don't File!': Rehabilitating Unauthorized Practice of Law-Based Policies in the Credit Counseling Industry (free download here).  Prof. Krivinskas was...

I really try not to read the comments in other blogs about me.  In the early days I did care, but I learned that it's generally not healthy. But when I saw that Volokh Conspiracy had a short post by Jonathan Adler about Elizabeth Warren -- VC's first foray into the issue, I believe -- I did read. It's still not healthy.  But one comment (by a commenter, not Adler) caught my eye, referring to a sentence in my original post about Warren's law license problem:

I recommend that people view Jacobson's posts with skepticism.... For example, Jacobson's very first post says "Warren’s Texas Bar information indicates she is not eligible to be licensed in Texas."   In fact, she holds Texas bar membership and has been paying dues, as an inactive member.  If she were not eligible to practice, upon payment of the higher dues required of active members, those very words -- "Not Eligible To Practice in Texas" -- would appear on her profile page as it now does for others.

Hmmm.  I have been meticulous in the facts I have reported about Warren.  It is true that Warren now is shown as "inactive" and has been inactive since 1992, a fact reported by Rob Eno the other day. So where did I get the idea that Warren was "not eligible"?  In my original post, I didn't include a screen shot of Warren's entry, just a link to the Texas Bar page which now says "inactive". But I did take a screen shot prior to my first post, I just didn't include it in the post.  Here is the screen shot taken on September 21 showing that Warren was listed as "Not Eligible To Practice In Texas": I did not take a screen shot of the "click for detail" link on this page, unfortunately.

But here's what the same page looks like now using the same link:

In the time period since my first post appeared, Warren's status on the Texas Bar page changed.  And address information has been removed.
