‘He had “smicha” from Geiger’s Conservaform seminary in Berlin.’

That might make him not an Orthodox rabbi; it doesn’t make him not Orthodox.

‘ And he couldn’t decide between Hebrew Union College and JTS.’

That is a lie. He left HUC and spent the rest of his career at JTS. I guess truth is optional if you are sufficiently Orthodox?

“oldman: Your disingenuous genuflection toward Saul Lieberman is pathetic.”

Rov Soloveitchik z’tz’l was willing to convene a beit din with Rabbi Lieberman z’tz’l. Or are you going to call The Rov disingenuous, too?
