Youthful IndiscretionsDon't judge Elena Kagan by her college thesis.

Writing a college thesis is a four-step process: Brainstorming, drafting, revising, and editing. But college students considering a career in government should probably add a fifth: Politics-proofing.
The clamor over Elena Kagan's college writings have reached such a pitch that the White House announced that it will post both of her theses online. The first is her Princeton senior thesis on the New York Socialist Party in the early 20th century. The second is a paper she wrote while at Oxford on the "exclusionary rule," the legal principle that allows a judge to deem evidence inadmissible in court.
Well, at least it is out there to read. It is when they hide it that I have some problem! LOL Actually, any time that someone tries to hide their record, it is a bit of a problem.
