Watch: Kamala Harris Calls Kavanaugh’s Pocket Constitution ‘That Book You Carry’
breitbart ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 09/07/2018 4:05:37 PM PDT by davikkm

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) described a pocket-sized version of the U.S. Constitution belonging to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as “that book you carry,” on day three of the judge’s confirmation hearing.

Asking Judge Kavanaugh which unenumerated rights he would do away with, Harris said:

I’m going to ask you about unenumerated rights. You gave a speech praising former Justice Rehnquist’s dissent in Rhodes, there’s been much discussion about that, and you wrote, quote, celebrating his success, that ‘success in stemming the general tide of free-wheeling judicial creation of unenumerated rights,’ that is what you said in celebration of Justice Rehnquist. So ‘unenumerated rights.’ is a phrase that lawyers use, but I want to make clear what we’re talking about. It means rights that are protected by the Constitution even if they’re not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. They are not in that book that you carry.

Harris continued:

What we are talking about is the right to vote, that’s an unenumerated right, the right to have children. The right to have control over the upbringing of your children. The right to refuse medical care. The right to love the partner of your choice, the right to marry, and the right to have an abortion. Now, putting those unenumerated rights in the context of the statement that you made, which was to praise the stemming of the general tide of free-wheeling creation of unenumerated rights, which means you were, the interpretation there is you were praising the quest to end those unenumerated rights. My question to you is which of the rights that I just mentioned do you want to an end to or rollback?

She probably too dumb to understand “ inalienable rights” bestowed by our Creator

Men with double her IQ who founded this rasist nation understood that if a government gives you “ rights” it can also take them away

The federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution (that book he carries).

All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people.

THAT'S where the "not specifically mentioned in the Constitution" rights are specifically mentioned in the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution in "that book he carries" you dumb cow.

Krugman thinks Kavenaugh will destroy the constitution while Harris calls it a little book and Obama calls it a piece of paper. Yeah, those two and the rest of the Dems will protect it much better.

"Remember that guy at the Democrat convention, who pulled out his pocket copy of the Constitution, and said he would lend it to Trump???" It was KHAAAN, KHAAAN, KHAAAN, lol.

Ya, that dude, he’s the one. He’s the one lecturing Trump about the Constitution. At such moments the Liberals would have us think they revere the Constitution..........

She’s a slovenly, nasal, dullard and almost as boorish as the very few, no taste Freeper dudes who keep calling her “hot”.

Can’t you just hear the contempt she has for the supreme law of the land that she took an oath to support and defend?

It was a moment that demonstrated what pure anti-American filth the radical left is made up of. The image of Congress continues to sink in the cesspool.

She’s a disgrace. And as usual with people like her, she has no idea.
