When Diversity Doesn’t Count:
Christopher Donovan on America’s Jewish Establishment
from The Occidental Observer, June 10, 2009
The most important newspaper in America is the New York Times. The most important court in America is the U.S. Supreme Court. And the most important law school in America is Yale Law School.
So whoever finds himself straddling these three towering institutions has power on the order of say, being the Senate Judiciary Committee, all by himself.
Today, that man is Adam Liptak, a Yale Law School graduate who got his start working as a clerk for the New York Times in the 1980s. Liptak took the beat over from Linda Greenhouse, a Jewish woman who once marched in parade for abortion rights (while working as a Times reporter). Greenhouse covered the Supreme Court for an astounding 29 years.
Liptak has all the indicators of also being a powerful Jew: Like Greenhouse, he has a typically Jewish first and last name, was born in New York City or nearby, went to Yale Law School, is a lecturer at Yale Law School, and has an appearance that isn’t inconsistent with being Jewish. The name ‘Liptak’ appears in JewishGen, a website devoted to Jewish genealogy. . . . More
