20 years ago, Nadler whined about impeachment based on partisan politics. Now, it's different.

Breitbart: Flashback: Jerry Nadler Warns ‘There Must Never Be’ a Partisan Impeachment Effort.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-Golden Corral) warned of the dangers of partisan impeachment efforts during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, cautioning that it would “produce decisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come.”

Nadler adamantly opposed a partisan impeachment effort during Clinton’s scandal, emphatically warning his colleagues that they should not impeach a president without the “overwhelming consensus” of the American people and stressing that “an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other” will lead to bitterness and divisiveness and cause people to question “the very legitimacy of our political institutions.”

“And we must not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people. There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other,” Nadler said[.]

“In 1998, President Clinton physically gave his blood,” Nadler proclaimed. “President Trump, by contrast, has refused to produce a single document and directed every witness not to testify.”

As Breitbart News noted, “Clinton provided a sample of his DNA to independent counsel Kenneth Starr as he attempted to back up his claim that he had not, in fact, had ‘sexual relations’ with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.”

However, the blood sample ultimately tied Clinton to the dried semen on Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress “to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty.”

Pamela Karlan ‘should be ashamed’ of her Barron Trump punch line at the impeachment hearings.

Breitbart: Matt Gaetz schools Pamela Karlan for attacking Barron Trump.

When Karlan tried to cut him off, saying, “When the president calls — ,” Gaetz immediately shut her down. “Excuse me, you don’t get to interrupt me on this time.”

He then blasted the joke earlier in the hearing, where she invoked the president’s teenage son, Barron.

“Let me also suggest that when you invoke the president’s son’s name here, when you try to make a little joke out of referencing Barron Trump that does not lend credibility to your argument, it makes you look mean,” he said. “It makes you look like you’re attacking someone’s family — the minor child of the president of the United States.”

He then closed by asking witnesses if they could raise their hand if any of them had “personal knowledge of a single material fact in the Schiff report.”

His question was met with blank stares and silence.

Market Watch: Melania Trump says Pamela Karlan ‘should be ashamed’ of her Barron punch line at the impeachment hearings.

Stanford constitutional law professor Pamela S. Karlan went viral during the impeachment hearings on Wednesday for tearing into Republican Rep. Doug Collins, and telling him that she was “insulted” by his suggestion that she hadn’t read the witness transcripts. What’s more, she stated that everything she has read “tells me that when President Trump invited, indeed demanded, foreign involvement in our upcoming election.”

Then she made this play on words:

‘While the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron’: Prof. Karlan uses the Trump family to outline the Constitution’s rule that there can’t be titles of nobility.

First lady Melania Trump, whose “Be Best” initiative advocates against bullying, tweeted that Karlan “should be ashamed.”

    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.

Trump 2020 national press secretary Kayleigh McEnany released the following statement in response on Wednesday afternoon:

“Only in the minds of crazed liberals is it funny to drag a 13-year-old child into the impeachment nonsense,” she wrote.

“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. Hunter Biden is supposedly off-limits according to liberals, but a 13-year-old boy is fair game. Disgusting.”

Disgusting behavior from Democrats. We expect it, we know it's coming. It's never a matter of 'if' - only 'when' and 'how much'.

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan donated $1000 to the presidential campaign of Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She's also a self-described "snarky, bisexual, Jewish women".

Stanford Law Professor Pam Karlan Concludes 2006 ACS National Convention

On Sunday, June 18, 2006, Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan delivered closing remarks at the 2006 ACS National Convention. Her insightful -- and witty -- reflections explored a wide range of legal and policy topics and brought the Convention to a close on an inspiring note. Professor Karlan's address includes a number of concrete suggestions for how lawyers, law students and other concerned citizens can get involved in promoting and practicing progressive legal and policy values. Summarizing the theme of the Convention, which addressed "Democracy of the Rule of Law," Professor Karlan suggested that "we need a rule of law that's more than just a law of rules. We need laws that are just, and not just laws that satisfy the presentment clause."

Karlan also emphasized her belief that traditionally progressive groups have greater reason for patriotism than their conservative counterparts:

    "We have to seize back the high ground on patriotism and on love of our country, because we have more reason than they do to love America. The rich, pampered, prodigal, sanctimonious, incurious, white, straight sons of the powerful do pretty well everywhere in the world, and they always have." (Yes, those WHITE sons of powerful WHITE rich do rather well for themselves. Joe and Hunter Biden, the Kennedy sons, Mikey Bloomberg, the Soros sons, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, John Kerry and his son, Paul Pelosi...a nice bunch of "white privilege" there. - DD)

    "But what about us? Snarky, bisexual, Jewish women who want the freedom to say what we think, read what we want, and love who we do. I don't want to keep other people from having the great opportunities I've had here in the United States. I want other people to share them. . . ."

    "So the thing that makes America great is "We the People," and we have to remind people that we are the people. Not they, we. And so I'm inspired by Barbara Jordan, who was the first black person elected from Texas to Congress since reconstruction-as a result of the Voting Rights Act."

    Now at the Watergate Hearings, here's what she said, and it's something that we need to take to heart:

        "Earlier today, we heard the beginning of the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States, "We, the people." It is a very eloquent beginning. But when that document was completed on the seventeenth of September 1787, I was not included in that "We, the people." I felt somehow for many years that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton just left me out by mistake. But through the process of amendment, interpretation and court decision I have finally been included in "We, the people."

        "Today, I am an inquisitor; hyperbole would not be fictional and would not overstate the solemnness that I feel right now. My faith in the Constitution is whole, it is complete, it is total. I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution."

   "We need to feel that way too."

If someone is denying this snarky, bisexual Jewish woman the freedom to say what she thinks, what she wants to read and love who she wants, she should probably take it up with that person...or people.

Meh...every Liberal is a victim in their own mind.

It is quite prescient of her, in 2006, to identify the, "the rich, pampered, prodigal, sanctimonious, incurious, white, straight sons of the powerful do pretty well everywhere in the world, and they always have." Who knew back then she was talking about Joe and Hunter Biden and the numerous old, rich, powerful, perverse white men that so dominate the Democrat party of today and of whom so many are Democrat presidential candidates.

Breitbart: Democrat ‘Expert’ Impeachment Witness Gave $1000 Donation to Elizabeth Warren.

Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan, one of three expert witnesses called by Democrats to testify on the first day of the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment inquiry, donated $1000 to the presidential campaign of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in July, according to to Federal Elections Commission (FEC) data.
[.]
Separately, Karlan also donated $500 to the 2020 campaign of first-term Rep. Josh Harder (D-CA), one of seven Democrats to win a Republican-held seat in the 2018 midterm elections.
[.]
In 2013, during President Barack Obama’s second term, Karlan was considered a possible Supreme Court nominee. Former Department of Justice attorney J. Christian Adams wrote at the time that Karlan “provides intellectual fuel for the most fringe elements of the progressive legal and political machine,” accusing her of “scholarly lies,” saying she “falsely attacked the Bush administration’s Justice Department for not protecting racial minorities.”

Adams concluded: “Hopefully Democrats and Republicans alike can agree that it is best to keep a dishonest academic in her position as a dishonest academic. Her corrosive and bitter worldview is best kept in the insular world of academia, where her damage can be contained to corrupting scores of would-be lawyers who don’t have a clue about who is really standing at the lectern.”

Karlan...Corrosive and bitter who provides fuel for the most fringe elements of the political Left? Oh yeah! Maybe it's because of this? It's just a guess.

Castro stands on box to appear taller at Thursday's DEM debate circus.

How embarrassing.

Washington Examiner: Castro stands on box to look taller in Democratic debate.

Julián Castro stood on a box during the third Democratic primary debate to help him look taller alongside the other candidates.

Castro joined nine other Democratic presidential candidates on the debate stage in Houston on Thursday. Castro, who is 5-foot-9, was one of possibly several candidates that stood on raised platforms behind their podiums. It was not immediately clear whether other candidates were also on boxes.

He uses one of these, too, at the table so he can reach his Sippy cup.

New Zealand Herald: Top circus tamer is mauled to death by his four tigers during rehearsals.

Four big cats mauled to death a world famous tiger tamer as he prepared for a show at a circus in Italy.

Ettore Weber, 61, was mauled to death at the Circo Orfei - Italy's best-known circus - during a training session in Triggiano, a small town in the Puglia region.

Weber was rehearsing for his act when one of the tigers knocked him down before the other three pounced on him and mauled him to death, the Daily Mail reported.

What a way to go. RIP.
