Fwd: Re: Weekly Standard on Laurence Tribe

[Frank Cross]

Professor Franck, could you explain which you find objectionable.  Is it 
using the phrase "vagaries of the electoral college"; "Holmes mold"; "crony 
appointment"?

I don't dispute that there are a couple of examples of apparent 
lifting.  Though when the article refers to a single sentence that is 
"almost verbatim", are you really certain that one couldn't scour your 
writings and find a single sentence that is "almost verbatim" when compared 
to something someone once wrote before?

My claim is not to exonerate Tribe, it is to suggest that the article was 
unfair to the point of inaccuracy and to suggest that Tribe should not be 
singled out as a transgressor, as I would wager that you could find 
something similar in a huge number of books.
