KAMALA HARRS - I
CAN CON THEM! I'M A LAWYER, IT'S WHAT I HAVE DONE MY ENTIRE BRIBES SUCKING
LEGAL CAREER!

All of this is, if we can be permitted to use Biden’s catchphrase, “malarkey.” Harris has already proven herself as a trusted servant of the interests of the rich and powerful at the expense of the working class. The Wall Street Journal wrote last week that Wall Street financers had breathed a “sigh of relief” at Biden’s pick of Harris. Industry publication American Banker noted that her steadiest stream of campaign funding has come from financial industry professionals and their most trusted law firms.
There is something fitting in the selection of Harris
to co-lead the Democrats’ ticket. The response of the Democrats to the mass
multi-racial and multi-ethnic protests against police violence that erupted
earlier this year was to divert them into the politics of racial division,
using the reactionary and false claim that what was involved was a conflict
between “white America” and “black America,” rather than a conflict between the
working class and capitalism.

Biden, Kamala Didn't Waste Any Time Attacking Trump's SCOTUS Nominee
Within minutes
of President Trump officially nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme
Court, the two heads of the Biden-Harris ticket went to work attacking the
president's seemingly flawless nominee.
We'll start with the person whose reaction matters most; the
person who will really be running the show if the Democrats win in November:
Kamala Harris.
Trump’s hand-picked successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat
makes it clear: they intend to destroy the Affordable Care Act & overturn
Roe. This selection would move the court further right for a generation &
harm millions of Americans.
I strongly oppose Judge Barrett’s nomination.

Joe Biden stuck to the same talking points as Harris, warning
Trump's nominee will undo the Affordable Care Act and overturn Roe. v. Wade, in
which case, abortion laws would simply go back to the states.
"Today, President Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney
Barrett as the successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat," Biden said in a statement. "She has a written track
record of disagreeing with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding the
Affordable Care Act. She critiqued Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority opinion
upholding the law in 2012."
Biden also called on Senate Republicans to abdicate their
power to confirm Trump's nominee and give the Democrats a chance to take back
the Senate.
"The American people know the U.S. Supreme Court
decisions affect their everyday lives," Biden continued. "The United
States Constitution was designed to give the voters one chance to have their
voice heard on who serves on the Court. That moment is now and their voice
should be heard. The Senate should not act on this vacancy until after the
American people select their next president and the next Congress."
As usual, Democrats are sticking to the same talking points.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also attacked Barrett on the issues of
abortion and health care. At least for now, Democrats are sticking to the
issues, except for ones who aren't and attacking Barrett's faith and children.
Democrats
have been scrambling for a way to malign the impeccable Amy Coney Barrett ever
since news broke of former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing. At Barrett's
Senate confirmation hearing for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Democrats attacked Barrett for her religious
beliefs. Expect to see the Democrats' religious bigotry on full display in the
days and weeks to come.
Does Church Fund Kamala Harris? And Her Other Shady Shenanigans

During her
decade-and-a-half tenure as a chief prosecutor, Harris would fail to prosecute
a single case of priest abuse and her office would strangely hide vital records
on abuses that had occurred despite the protests of victims groups. PETER
SCHWEIZER
She somehow served as
San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, and then as California
attorney general from 2011 to 2017, and never brought a single documented case
forward against an abusive priest. PETER SCHWEIZER
According to San
Francisco election financial disclosures, high-dollar donations to Harris’s
campaign began to roll in from those connected to the Catholic Church
institutional hierarchy.” PETER SCHEIZER
“However, I would like to encourage my fellow Democrats to
approach Senator Harris with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a prosecutor and
California State Attorney General, Harris has engaged in blatantly unethical
behavior for her profession and embraced positions that actively hurt her
constituents.” JESSER HOROWITZ
Harris has
often been described as a "politician on the make," someone who will
do whatever is expedient. Writing for RealClearPolitics, Debra
Saunders calls Harris a "progressive
opportunist." Yves Smith, looking through her less than
progressive record as California prosecutor, would alter that to "opportunist to the
core." JEFFREY FOLKS
The
best-case scenario is that she’s a progressive who repeatedly violated her own
principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario,
she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor. JESSER HOROWITZ
How
come you wouldn’t prosecute Catholic priests for sexual and child abuse? Where
was your empathy? JACK HELLNER
Unethical conduct plagues legal career of Kamala Harris
On Jan. 2019, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris declared
her candidacy for President of the United States of America to great fanfare.
She
earned quick praise and frequent comparison to former President Barack Obama. A
recent Democratic Party straw poll by the Daily Kos ranked her in the top tier
of Presidential candidates, with 27 percent of respondents voicing their
support for her candidacy. So far, she has pitched herself to the American
people as a strong progressive with a particular passion for criminal justice
reform.
Harris
has a reasonable chance at winning the Democratic Party nomination. She’s
charismatic, smart and very likely to bridge the growing divide within the
party between the progressive left and the centrists. If she wins the
nomination, she might even defeat Donald Trump in the general election. I
understand why some voters in the party have decided to rally around her: She’s
a promising alternative for Democrats who want someone progressive like Bernie
Sanders but better than he is at speaking to identity politics.
However,
I would like to encourage my fellow Democrats to approach Senator Harris with a
healthy dose of skepticism. As a prosecutor and California State Attorney
General, Harris has engaged in blatantly unethical behavior for her profession
and embraced positions that actively hurt her constituents. While this does not
necessarily have to be a red line for everyone—and it certainly will not
prevent me from voting for her should she win the Democratic nomination—our
party should hold Harris’ feet to the fire here. Even more concerning than her
past positions is that she refuses to own up to them, portraying herself as a
long-time, progressive criminal justice reform activist.
I
want to clarify that I have no inherent issues with a prosecutor being elected
to the presidency. We need prosecutors; we need people who serve the public
good rather than represent the interests of paying clients. However, if your
job requires you to make decisions that could potentially ruin people’s lives,
the ethical standards should be higher, not lower. If you, like Kamala Harris,
decide you want to run for President of the United States, it becomes
imperative that the public thoroughly and mercilessly scrutinizes every facet
of your political career.
In
2015, law enforcement caught Robert Murray, a prosecutor in Kern County,
committing one of the most egregious offenses a prosecutor could perpetrate.
Specifically, he falsified a confession transcript that connected the defendant
with a far worse crime than that with what he had actually been charged. When
the defense demanded a copy of the original tape recording, Murray admitted to
his crime but said that it was merely a harmless joke. The judge disagreed. He stated
that the court refuses to tolerate such outrageous conduct and dismissed the
indictment on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct (Observer, “California
Prosecutor Falsified Transcript of Confession,” 03.04.2015).
How
does this incident involve Senator Harris? At the time, she was the Attorney
General of California. In that capacity, she appealed the indictment. According
to Sidney Powell of The Observer, this was the third time she had appealed a
prosecutorial misconduct dismissal in less than three months. As of March 2015,
Murray was still allowed to work as a prosecutor (Observer, “California
Prosecutor Falsified Transcript of Confession,” 03.04.2015).
As
Attorney General, Harris has a history of fighting to keep men she knew were
innocent in prison and of hiding cases of significant illegal activity
conducted by law enforcement. In 1999, Daniel Larsen was sentenced to 27 years
to life in prison for possession of a concealed weapon. There had been nine
witnesses who could testify that Larsen was not guilty, but the court called
none of them at the trial because of his incompetent and now disbarred
attorney. With the help of the Innocence Project, he was able to prove his
innocence, and the court overturned his conviction in 2009.
How
does this involve Senator Harris? She challenged his release not because she
believed he was guilty—she did not dispute his innocence—but because he hadn’t
presented proof of his innocence quickly enough. And so, she fought to keep a
man she definitely knew was innocent behind bars for life (NBCLosAngeles,
“After 13 Years in Prison, Man Found Innocent of Crime Freed,” 3.20.2013).
In
another incident, law enforcement discovered that Deborah Madden had purposely
sabotaged the drug results of multiple cases as a technician at a San Francisco
crime lab. But even though the highest levels of the district attorney’s office
knew about Madden’s unreliability as a drug expert, Kamala Harris and her
office hid this information from defense attorneys. Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine
Massullo ultimately ruled that Harris’ office had violated defendants’ rights
through this act of prosecutorial misconduct, calling into question the
convictions of nearly 40 defendants (SFGate, “Judge rips Harris’ office for
hiding problems,” 05.21.2010).
However,
perhaps Harris’ most egregious example of immoral conduct happened in 2014. A
federal judge ordered that all non-violent second-strike offenders be eligible
for parole in California in an action against constitutional prison crowding.
Kamala Harris, then the Attorney General of California, disagreed with the
decision. She argued in court that by releasing these inmates early, prisons
would lose “an important labor pool” (Los Angeles Times, “Federal judges order
California to expand prison releases,” 11.14.2014). Despite pitching herself as
a lifelong champion for criminal justice reform, Harris had advocated that the
need to keep nonviolent offenders as slaves outweighs their constitutional
rights. How would the Democratic Party call itself progressive if members threw
their support behind someone with such an atrocious record on civil rights
issues?
Even
worse, Harris has yet to apologize for her actions and in fact has refused to
even acknowledge them (Reason.com, “Kamala Harris Hopes You’ll Forget Her
Record as a Drug Warrior and Draconian Prosecutor,” 01.31.2019). At a town
hall, she responded to a question calling her out on her past actions by
answering “I’ve been consistent my whole career,” and then explained how the
record supports her claim that she has been progressive on prison reform (CNN
Twitter, “I’ve been consistent my whole career,” 01.28.2019).
I
won’t delve into her argument because, in my view, it’s irrelevant. When you
actively cover up police misconduct, try to keep a man who you know is innocent
in prison and refuse to release nonviolent offenders because you need their
involuntary labor, you don’t get to reframe your narrative.
Kamala
Harris is not owed an audience. She is not entitled to one simply because she
wants to be president. We should not give her the benefit of the doubt, because
she refuses to even acknowledge her wrongdoings. We don’t have the right to
forgive her; that right belongs to all the people she’s wronged over the course
of her long career.
For
that reason, I ask you not to vote for Kamala Harris in the primary, no matter
how attractive a candidate she is or how well she explains away her
inconsistent career. It’s possible that her past really won’t have much of an
impact on how she’ll be as president, but why should we wait and see? The
best-case scenario is that she’s a progressive who repeatedly violated her own
principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario,
she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor.
