Joe Biden has named his 2020 running mate: authoritarianism.
American prosecutors wield awesome and terrible powers that lend themselves easily to abuse, and Senator Kamala Harris, formerly the attorney general of California, is an enthusiastic abuser of them.
Harris was a leader in the junta of Democratic state attorneys general that attempted to criminalize dissent in the matter of global warming, using her office’s investigatory powers to target and harass non-profit policy groups while she and her counterpart in New York attempted to shake down Exxon on phony fraud cases.
Until she was stopped by a federal court, Harris was laying subpoenas on organizations such as the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a conservative-leaning group that is critical of Democratic global-warming proposals. She demanded private information that the organizations were not legally obliged to disclose, including financial information and donor lists, in order to be able to subject the supporters of right-leaning groups to legal and financial harassment. This was, as a federal judge confirmed, an obvious and unquestionable violation of the First Amendment.
It was also a serious abuse of power. Harris’s actions were coordinated with those of then attorney general Eric Schneiderman in New York, who argued — preposterously — that Exxon’s taking a different view of global warming was a form of securities fraud. This isn’t a conspiracy theory: They held a press conference and organized their effort into a committee, which they called AGs United for Clean Power.

There are only fascists down here, Jim.
Beam me up!
When the dems go to the bullpen to replace Biden, surely they wouldn’t consider a woman and a person who is assumed by dems to be a woman. I doubt “heels up” would vacate the ticket. Does this mean Big Mike is officially not going to be the candidate?
On her, under her, she does it all!
If the Dems. had to replace Biden on the ticket, some think the Bernie Bros. would agitate to make Bernie the nominee, as he ran a strong 2nd in the primaries. Kamala dropped out before any of the primaries/caucuses even took place.
Kamala should be happy she was fingered to be the #2, and not agitate to move up if that becomes necessary.
Thumbs Down! HUH! Heels up Harris!, HUH!
‘Proof That Joe Biden Is an Empty Shell’: Trump Campaign Reacts to Harris as VP Pick
Townhall.com ^ | August 11, 2020 | Ellie Bufkin
“Not long ago, Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist and asked for an apology she never received. Clearly, Phony Kamala will abandon her own morals, as well as try to bury her record as a prosecutor, in order to appease the anti-police extremists controlling the Democrat Party. In her failed attempt at running for president, Kamala Harris gleefully embraced the left’s radical manifesto, calling for trillions of dollars in new taxes and backing Bernie Sanders’ government takeover of healthcare. She is proof that Joe Biden is an empty shell being filled with the extreme agenda of the radicals on the left.
“Joe Biden is no moderate, and with Harris as his ‘political living will,’ he is surrendering control of our nation to the radical mob with promises to raise taxes, cut police funding, kill energy jobs, open our borders, and appease socialist dictators. At the ballot box, Americans will resoundingly reject the abysmal failures of Biden-Harris in favor of the America First strength of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.”
Interesting, perhaps Freudian choice of words you got there.
Saw her at the Kavanaugh crucifixion. Disgusting
Fingered?
Great choice of words
VIDEO: 4 Sept 2019: Washington Examiner: Kamala Harris: ‘No question’ I would ban fracking
by Josh Siegel
“There is no question I am in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said during an all-night CNN town hall event focused on climate change.
Harris suggested she would start by taking executive action on “day one” to ban fracking on public lands and then move to have Congress pass legislation to extend the prohibition to private lands.
Harris’ formal climate plan, published earlier Wednesday, does not explicitly call for Congress to ban fracking, as fellow candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders has promised...

6 Aug: Inside Climate News: Harris and Ocasio-Cortez Team up on a Climate ‘Equity’ Bill, Leaving Activists Hoping for Unity
By Ilana Cohen
When Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced climate “equity” legislation on Thursday, climate activists saw it as a hopeful sign of Democratic unity less than three months before a hugely consequential election with both the White House and the Senate up for grabs.
The two star Democrats first unveiled the Climate Equity Act in draft form more than a year ago, when Harris was running for president. The formal introduction of a new and improved version comes as the California senator is vying to become Joe Biden’s choice as his vice presidential running mate...
The climate legislation, which has been the subject of extensive community outreach by Harris and Ocasio-Cortez over the last year, would create an Office of Climate and Environmental Justice Accountability within the Office of Management and Budget and require the government to consider the impact of any environmental legislation or regulation on low-income communities...
Evan Weber, political director of the Sunrise Movement, applauded the partnership between Harris and Ocasio-Cortez and said Harris had shown “she is responsive to activist and movement pressure to make climate a top priority.”...

11 Aug: GreenTech Media: What the Kamala Harris VP Pick Means for Biden’s Energy and Climate Platform
Harris highlighted environmental justice during her run for the White House, an issue she’s championed in the Senate.
by Emma Foehringer Merchant
“From wildfires in the west to hurricanes in the east, to floods and droughts in the heartland, we’re not gonna buy the lie. We’re gonna act, based on science fact, not science fiction,” Harris proclaimed in Oakland as she kicked off her campaign...
She’s a cosponsor of the Green New Deal resolution and in both 2019 and 2020 introduced versions of the Climate Equity Act with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which would require the government to assess the impacts of environmental legislation on low-income communities. Her Environmental Justice for All Act, introduced with Senators Tammy Duckworth and Cory Booker this summer, similarly mandates the government consider low-income and communities of color in federal permitting and decision making...
While San Francisco’s District Attorney, she created an environmental justice unit to tackle environmental crimes impacting low-income residents...
On Tuesday, Varshini Prakash, co-founder of Sunrise Movement, a youth-led environmental group that has championed a Green New Deal, recognized Harris’ willingness to incorporate feedback.
“Throughout the course of her campaign for President, Senator Kamala Harris showed her responsiveness to activist and movement pressure to make climate a top priority, and demonstrated her willingness to be held accountable,” said Prakash, in a statement...
Prakash applauded Harris’ record on environmental justice; Harris’ prioritization of that issue could be a boon to the Biden campaign as it merges its clean energy priorities with themes in the Green New Deal and the U.S. continues to reckon with its legacy of racism...
Biden’s framing of clean energy investment as a means to rebuild the economy sets it up as a central theme of the administration, if he is elected...
He recently pledged to help the U.S. reach 100 percent clean electricity by 2035, while investing $2 trillion in a transition towards a zero-carbon economy.
