I don't think she has a clue! Never saw a campaign tank so hard in my life.
It's a really sad thing to watch.

Katherine is right on this one. Can't say I blame her for pandering to her base. Christians. A majority of Republicans in this state are Christians...who cares what Democrats on a a democrat website from a Democrat controlled newspaper (orlando sentinel) have to say about Harris. More of the same old crap.
Let me explain what Katherine is saying in terms that all you worthless pagans can understand.
It is impossible to have law without having morality behind that law, because all law is enacted morality.
There are different kinds of morality. Biblical morality is one thing...Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim morality are radically different moral systems. Some moral laws forbid the eating of meats as sinful, as for example, Hinduism, and others declare that the killing of unbelievers can be a virtue, as in Muslim morality. For Plato's morality, some acts of perversion were noble forms of love, whereas for the Bible the same acts are deserving of capital punishment.
Here's my point: all law is enacted morality and presupposes a moral system, a moral law, and all morality presupposes a religion as its foundation. Laws rest on morality, and morality on religion. Weaken the religious foundation and the result is the progressive collapse of law and order, and the breakdown of society.
Our laws have become increasingly secular or humanistic and so have our courts. Legistlators are giving us a new morality. They offer nothing but salvation by law...and no Christian can accept this. Wherever we look now, whether it be poverty, education, civil rights, human rights, peace, and all things else, we see laws passed designed to save man. Supposedly, these laws are to give us a society free of prejudice, ignorance, disease, poverty, crime, war, and all other things considered to be evil. These legistlative programs add up to one thing and that is salvation by law.
Laws grounded on the Bible do not attempt to save man or to usher in a brave new world, a great society, world peace, a poverty-free world, or any other such ideal. The purpose of Biblical law, and all laws grounded on a Biblical faith, is to punish and restrain evil, and to protect life and property, to provide justice for all people. It is not the purpose of the state and it's law to change or reform men: this is a spiritual matter and a task for religion. Man can be changed only by the grace of God and the ministry of his Word. Man cannot be changed by statist legistlation; he cannot be legistlated into a new character. The evil will or heart of a man can be restrained by law, in that a man can be afraid of the consequences of disobediance.
Katherine Harris understands that as a legistlator the basic function of the law is to restrain, not to regenerate, and when the function of the law is changed from the restraint of evil to the reformation of man and society, then law itself begins to breakdown, because an impossible burden is placed upon it. Too much is expected of it, so it is improperly used.
Secular legistlators will never be satisfied with their sets of laws. They will always be searching for the right set, because their plan of "salvation" depends upon it.
