"Democratic"[edit]

Someone take out her party affiliation please. There is no source for that. She is not a political figure she's a university professor. That's just a smear. Yyyikes (talk) 05:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She's a politically active Democrat. How is that a "smear"? You just want to conceal it for reasons everyone knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:5D80:13D4:8DA1:51A4:DAD3:38FD (talk) 07:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"politically active Democrat" - based on what? She has apparently made contributions to political candidates. Someone says she is a registered Democrat. She's a law professor, not a politician. Does every citizen who supports a candidate need to have "Political party: " added to their page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yyyikes (talkcontribs) 19:41, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's an attempt to paint her as a partisan. - MrX 🖋 19:43, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
She is partisan, and so are you. 2605:6000:1A12:4286:E58F:D423:1EE4:386F (talk) 01:34, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 December 2019[edit]

The article attests that Pamela Karlan is Jewish, but such a claim in the article is based only on self-reference, in other words, that she states as much (as per a referenced speech) is taken at face-value, THAN being independently corroborated, and it seems analogous (as per the defects of self-reference) to such as Manpreet Buttar or Briar Stewart (as examples of people once on Wikipedia as now no longer...as per their OWN boosterism as resulting in formerly being on wikipedia)...so what it amounts to as this...I'm not saying that it's IMPOSSIBLE to claim she's Jewish...but...that until the Wikipedia article substantiates the claim (as per independent corroboration than her own statement as to that) then on such a point as per whether Karlan is Jewish or not...Wikipedia...currently...ISN'T worthy of being deemed a REFERENCE...as it's rather (on THIS point) merely an inadvertent stenographer for her self-promotion...so what I'm saying is that such a claim should be asterisked...until it can be properly documented....

  •  Not done. It is not clear what change you desire. Please make your request in the form of "Change X to Y". "Jewish" is in a quotation. The sentence clearly states that she "has described herself" as such. I see no reason to make any changes. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 11:45, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Baron Trump Reference by Pamela Karlan and Apology Afterwards 12-04-2019[edit]

Published on CSPAN December 4, 2019, there was a highly controversial incident during the impeachment hearing coming from Karlan. Karlan brought up Baron Trump and stated Donald Trump could provide him a given name which is a title of nobility, but not officially make him nobility due to the constitution. 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.” 37-second CSPAN YouTube video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtHRKk8qYKw and she apologized for bringing up President Trump's son. There was much buzz in the media on the event. It might be a good addition to the Pamela S. Karlan entry, given the high coverage? Feedback? ConnieBland (talk) 04:12, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
