Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan said she apologized Wednesday evening for invoking President Donald Trumps 13-year-old son, Barron Trump, to criticize the president during the House Judiciary Committees hearing on impeachment adding that she hopes the president apologizes for his past actions.

CSPAN (@cspan) December 4, 2019 Karlan quickly changed topics during questioning from Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) to walk back an out-of-nowhere jab at the presidents son earlier in the hearing. While the president can name his son Barron, he cant make him a baron, she had quipped to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX). After being called out for the play on words, she took on a more conciliatory tone while maintaining that the president remains in the wrong for unrelated actions.
I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the presidents son, she said. It was wrong of me to do that. I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that hes done thats wrong, but I do regret having said that.
The play on words drew swift backlash from the White House and Republican lawmakers. Less than an hour before she revisited her statement, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) entered into the record a social media post from Barrons mother, First Lady Melania Trump, saying Karlan should be ashamed of the stunt.

"I want to apologize..." So, why didn't she? That's not an apology; it's an attack.
RBG would never have said that about Barron. Never.
Pamela Karlan: "I want to apologize for what I said earlier about the president's son. It was wrong of me to do that. I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that he's done that's wrong, but I do regret having said that."
And a Lesbian, which fits perfectly with her other traits.
” I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that he’s done that’s wrong,”
I think she purposely referenced Barron so she could “apologize” and use that line.This horrible woman is a LBGT activist. These are the most nasty, bitter and vicious people you will ever meet.
Trumps son, Barron was born 10 years before he ran for president.
*The title of Baron is spelled with one R.
*This woman is considered intelligent and has tenure at one of the most expensive universities in the country.
and democrats want her opinion to count as fact.
BTW- Did anyone here catch Kaplan's remarks about the connectivity of urban people and the disconnected "others"?
The dike did not apologize. That is no apology.

TALKING POINTS An angry misinformed Stanford Law School professor brought to 12/4/19 Wednesdays impeachment hearings a remarkable dimension of ignorance that is nothing short of mind-boggling.
Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan had apparently colluded with Judiciary member Cong Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) who urged Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan to comment when Jackson Lee drew a parallel between President Donald Trump and a monarch.
What comparisons can we make between kings, that the framers were afraid of, and the presidents conduct today? Jackson Lee calculatedly asked Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan, called to testify as a constitutional law expert.
Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan replied Kings could do no wrong because the kings word was law, but contrary to what President Trump says, Article II does not give him the power to do anything he wants, Karlan said. The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he cannot make him a baron, she continued.
REALITY CHECK Barron Trump’s name has NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH NOBILITY. Barron Trump is named after Barron Hilton, of Hilton Hotel fame, a close friend of President Donald Trump. The name Barron originated from the Old French and was often used as a nickname for a peasant who aspired to land ownership.
It is disconcerting to read that Stanford Law School Professor Pamela S Karlan has been on the Stanford Law School faculty since 1998, is an expert on constitutional law and the Supreme Court, and has argued nine cases before the Supreme Court.
I would strongly suggest Stanford Law School students drop classes taught by Prof Karlan lest the future lawyers jeopardize legal careers by an unfortunate exposure to classes taught by a clearly unqualified Prof Karlan.
How the frigg is this p.o.s. is a teacher? And what is the point of dragging this trained monkey onto the stage?
Pamela Susan Karlan is so lacking in intelligence.
President Donald Trump’s and Melania Trump’s son is not named Baron. He is named Barron.
Baron is a title awarded to English nobility. Barron means son of Ron in Hebrew. Ron in Hebrew means “Song of Joy”. Both Donald and Melania are a song of joy for the USA.
Karlan might know the meaning on Barron. After all, she has gone on racist rants in the past.

An apology worthy of an early "Sheldon".
Sorry lady, but there is no quid pro quo in an apology... you are either sorry or youre not.
***********************
If only other famous people had followed her method when making their apologies.
For example:
Mel Gibson: “I deeply regret saying Jews are responsible for causing all the wars, and hope that someday they will apologize for causing them.”
Tiger Woods: “I am very sorry for being unfaithful, and hope my wife will someday apologize for causing the situation that resulted in my straying.”
Democrats are loathsome, vile, and incapable of even a proper apology. Real apologies don’t include further attacks. Leftists disgust me.
“I wish the president would apologize, obviously, for the things that he’s done...”
Couldn’t help herself from mucking it up could she? Non-apology not accepted.
The problem was, it was a set up question and answer. The dear Professor didn’t just think it up in the moment, it was planned and thought out.
She was probably hoping she would make some cash off the T Shirt sales.
It was just like Kameltoe Harris nailing Quid Pro Joe at the Debate with her “I was that girl” rebuke. The T Shirts were already boxed up and ready to go as soon as the words came out of her Willie Brown abused Mouth.
When you search for images of Pamela Karlan, you can find this beauty from her youth. As you can see, even the search engine thinks she looks like a young Harold Ramis!

However, Harold Ramis wrote jokes that were actually funny.
