Professor Karlan checks all the boxes to be the next Dem. SCOTUS nominee
Interestingly, Thursday’s report on the House Judiciary Committee impeachment “inquiry” in the Wall Street Journal made no mention whatever of what may be the most asinine performance of the impeachment process so far…and, with Adam Schitt and Jerome Nadler, and (ahem) “Nancy I” as Democrat House leaders, that’s sayin’ something.
The UK Daily Mail, however, has a lengthy story on the inquiry in Thursday’s edition which is complete, relatively straightforward, mostly unbiased…and does treat fairly the “Professor Karlan gaffe”. (It should be noted that the Daily Mail is not a ‘conservative’ publication. It is in fact, a left of center newspaper.)
This from the NY Post:
“Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” testified Pamela Karlan, a professor at Stanford Law School. “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron.”
“The wisecrack drew a strongly-worded clapback from Trump’s 2020 campaign.
“Only in the minds of crazed liberals is it funny to drag a 13-year-old child into the impeachment nonsense,” read a statement from campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany. “Pamela Karlan thought she was being clever and going for laughs, but she instead reinforced for all Americans that Democrats have no boundaries when it comes to their hatred of everything related to President Trump.”
That is an excerpt reporting on the questioning of one of Chairman Jerry Nadler’s carefully chosen “expert witnesses”, the ‘widely acclaimed’ Constitutional ‘authority’, Stanford Univ. Law Professor, Pamela Karlan.
Admittedly, it may not be pertinent to the essence of the “inquiry” and thus, not an essential part of a straightforward account of Thursday’s proceedings. But, if you should happen, during a conversation with your favorite liberal friend, to mention this ‘episode’ from the hearing, and maybe note how utterly stupid it was, the odds are your friend probably had never heard about it.
Incidentally, here is our quick “introduction to the “expert law professor witness” for your interest:
Stanford’s Pamela Karlan Lists Trump’s Impeachable Offenses At Trump Impeachment Hearing
“When we go low, we can get lower than anyone thought possible…Impeach Trump!”
PAMELA KARLAN, ‘Failed stand-up comic’, and, according to Wikipedia, in her own words, “an example of a “snarky, bisexual, Jewish women” (sic).[13] Her partner is writer Viola Canales.[14];Karlan told Politico in 2009, “It’s no secret at all that I’m counted among the LGBT crowd”.
Our thumbnail profile of “the professor”:
- snarky- yes
- ‘bi-sexual’- she says so
- member of the ‘LGBTQ’ crowd- oh yeah
- claimed ‘expert’ on Constitutional law- yes
- real ‘expert on Constitutional law- on what Constitution…USSR’s?
Imagine…she came this close to a seat on the Supreme Court! And, if Trump loses…..
Melania didn’t take to kindly to ‘Dr. Karlan’:
We believe this lady is among the, if not tTHE most gracious, honest, fair-minded, stylish…and vivacious First Lady in American history! dlh
“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.” Melania Trump
