3. Melissa Murray......... if you are going to attempt to dunk on her, you could at least get her name right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Murray_(academic)

Melissa Erica Murray (born August 30, 1975) is an academic and legal scholar who is the Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law and the faculty director of the Birnbaum Women's Leadership Center at New York University School of Law, where she has been a member of the faculty since July 1, 2018. Murray was previously the interim dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law.

Education:
University of Virginia (BA)
Yale Law School (JD)

Following law school, Murray clerked for Sonia Sotomayor (then on the Second Circuit) and Stefan R. Underhill of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. She was the only African-American clerk at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Murray joined the faculty at UC Berkeley School of Law in 2006 and was granted tenure in 2011. As an assistant professor, she was the co-winner of the Association of American Law Schools 2012 Scholarly Papers Competition with Ashira Ostrow for her article "Marriage as Punishment." In her paper, Murray describes how "marriage has played a critical role in the operation of the criminal justice system, including serving as a defense to crime and as a form of punishment". The following year, her article "What's So New About the New Illegitimacy?" was awarded the Dukeminier Awards' Michael Cunningham Prize as one of the best sexual orientation and gender identity law review articles of 2012.

As a full professor at UC Berkeley, Murray was the recipient of the 2014 Rutter Award for Teaching Distinction which "honors a professor who has shown an outstanding commitment to teaching and who is an inspiration to students." The following year, she was appointed faculty director of the Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice (CRRJ), the United States' first law school think tank to focus on reproductive rights and justice issues. She also became the co-author of "Cases on Reproductive Rights and Justice," the first reproductive rights and justice casebook. On March 22, 2016, Murray was named interim dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law following the resignation of former dean Sujit Choudhry. On June 11, 2018, Murray left UC Berkeley to accept a position as a tenured faculty member at New York University and become the co-faculty director of the Birnbaum Women's Leadership Network.

On September 7, 2018, Murray testified at Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing where she cautioned the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary that he would overturn Roe v. Wade. Murray has been a member of the American Law Institute and sat on the boards of directors for the Brennan Center for Justice, the American Constitution Society, the Guttmacher Institute, and the National Women's Law Center. Murray was considered to be a contender for a federal judgeship under the Biden administration.

4. She's known for chunky necklaces

...and this one was even mentioned by Ari at the end of his show.

Maybe he reads DU during the commercials!

5. Melissa Murray. Sorry. Love her. Was bragging

about her temerity. Was hoping to bring attention to her daring.
What a symbol. Was reading earlier from another black woman who was disappointed with the democrats not exhibiting real support for black women.
Murray, with the white chain necklace, called that all out.

6. Woman in chains!

Set her free!

Those are some big links you got there.

7. My first thought when I saw 👀 her was that white chain

around her neck looks really heavy. Maybe it’s plastic, maybe. She does like ‘statement’ jewelry and glasses. Really enjoy her commentary. Smart lady.
