This is just more BS from the left and it isn't going to work, either.

So in other words she is known for making the law say what SHE wants it to say. So, please don't send your conservative child to Stanford Law School.

The "First Mama" excoriated her on Twitter for bringing Barron up in this hearing. I guess if you are only the "mama" to about 20 cats, and are a proponent of partial birth abortion you don't have much respect for "actual" children. This person can never be in charge of a court room
Quote:House Judiciary Democrats have opted to use an anti-Trump resistance lawyer to question witnesses during their first impeachment hearing Wednesday.
Democrats reportedly selected Norm Eisen on Tuesday to lead the questioning of witnesses, not Barry Berke as was expected. Eisen is a co-founder of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and served in the Obama administration before joining the Brookings Institution. He is also a frequent CNN commentator.
Eisen is a frequent Trump critic and member of the so-called “#Resistance,” and floated impeachment on his Twitter account before Trump ever took office.
Congrats Pres. Trump–now let the battle begin! Proud of our 1st @CREWcrew complaint over Trump’s hotel. More 2come! https://t.co/UMDkeBID4I

The Democrats’ witness list also raises questions about potential bias against the president, as two out of the three witnesses they called are, in additional to being constitutional lawyers, Democratic donors. Pamela Karlan has donated over $10,000 to numerous Democratic candidates, such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Doug Jones, while Michael Gerhardt donated $1000 to Barack Obama in 2007.
The New York Times describes Karlan as a “legal leader to progressive causes,” pointing out that she is on the board of the “left-leaning” American Constitution Society and that she signed a letter in 2016 from constitutional law scholars expressing “concerns” about Trump’s rhetoric. Gerhardt, meanwhile, worked on Al Gore’s Senate campaign and helped with Bill Clinton’s transition team.
The third Democratic witness, Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law professor, has called for a special counsel to investigate Rudy Giuliani’s actions in Ukraine and warned that Attorney General Bill Barr could become a “target”of the probe.
Republicans, meanwhile, chose George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley as their lone witness during Wednesday’s proceedings. Turley is a frequent legal commentator on cable news and has been open to impeachment if warranted but skeptical of the Democrats’ arguments for removing Trump.

It is very concerning that those three idiots are teaching law. I believe I could have destroyed them and I didn’t even sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

Good grief democrats are you all weirdos?
Got to love the crazy lawyer's backhanded apology, "I'm sorry for what I said about Barron, I was wrong. I just wish President Trump would apologize for things he's said." Her attack on Barron was by design so she could later offer this backhanded apology, it's not the first time this kind of apology has been made to the Trump family while attacking Trump at the same time.

Quote:First lady Melania Trump slammed constitutional scholar Pamela Karlan on Wednesday after she made a joke invoking Barron Trump during the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing.
“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” Trump tweeted. “Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.”
Karlan was widely condemned on Wednesday after she brought up President Donald Trump and First lady Melania Trump’s 13-year-old son Barron during her testimony to the House Judiciary Committee. Karlan, a law school professor, was called as a witness by the Democrats on the committee.
“I’ll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is, 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,” Karlan said, which earned her applause from some in the committee room.
Karlan has notably donated over $10,000 to Democratic candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and has expressed anti-Trump bias in the past. She also admitted once that she crossed the street in Washington, DC to avoid walking directly past the Trump International Hotel.
Just trying to wrap my head around why the democrats are doing this. They are going hell bent for leather, damn the torpedos fast. It is not going to end well and everyone knows it. Trump will not be removed and he will not resign. It makes no since....unless they are well aware the Durham investigation is actually going somewhere. This all ramped up after Durham’s announcement that he was convening a grand jury. There is no reason for them to stick their neck out on the chopping block unless they are trying desperately to get out in front of Durham. The plan has already been used to some degree when they said Barr was trying to take Americans attention off of their impeachment hearings earlier. They will vote to impeach and then claim Durham and Barr are agents hand picked by the president to derail their impeachment. They really do hate America.

How imbalanced and completely screwed in the head would you be to have to walk on the other side of the street to avoid building with the president's name.
