Kamala Harris typifies the Democrats’ love for dictatorial control
New York Post ^ | August 6, 2020 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 08/08/2020 5:43:49 AM PDT by karpov

Last year, Kamala Harris may have become the first presidential candidate in history to laugh derisively at the idea that the Constitution limits what a president can do.

When Joe Biden said that her plan for gun control by executive fiat didn’t pass constitutional muster, she scoffed and deployed one of her canned one-liners: “I would just say, ‘Hey, Joe, instead of saying, ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s say, ‘yes we can!’  ”

Yes, we can — flippantly blow by the constitutional requirement that new laws be passed by Congress.

Harris was one of the Democratic field’s great enthusiasts for unilateral rule and paid no price whatsoever for it in the campaign. Her presidential bid stalled out for her lack of a message and authenticity, not for her lack of constitutional scruple. In fact, her rejoinder to Biden in the debate got ­applause, and if the ­reporting is to be believed, she now is a ­finalist to join the Biden ticket.

If Democrats haven’t been scared straight about the perils of the overweening presidency during the Trump years, they never will. President Trump’s bark has been worse than his bite, but even floating the idea of delaying the election or signing sweeping executive orders on immigration and health care as a substitute for congressional action is bad enough.

He’s actually circumvented Congress in other ways, most dubiously by redirecting military funding to the border wall and also with his series of “acting” appointments not requiring Senate confirmation.

Democrats have condemned all of this. They have characterized it in the harshest possible terms. They have reacted to it by inventing the wildest scenarios of Trump perfidy and eagerly buying up a steady diet of books warning of Trump’s incipient fascism (“Fascism: A Warning,” “On Tyranny,” “How Fascism Works”).

In Kamala’s case shouldn’t “dictatorial control” be spelled “DICKtatorial control?”

Does that make her CRAZY? No she’s just another PSYCHOPATH.

Government will take care of everything. Just stay at home and when you go out, hide your face. Share everything you earned with others who are in need. The times they are changing!

When I saw that Lowry wrote it, I had to check to see if he’s still a never-trumper. He most certainly is.

Three Nationality Harris is not a natural born citizen.

She is flippant about ALL of the Constitution.

Obama’s “phone and a Pen” threat was of no concern?
Our system is so broken, there will be no compromises. The Dems used to be happy with Half a Loaf, but now they want it all or nothing.

Kamala Devi Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California.
Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a breast-cancer scientist who emigrated
from India in 1960 to pursue a doctorate in endocrinology at UC Berkeley.
Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University Emeritus Professor
of Economics, who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in
economics at UC Berkeley.

Harris born in Jamaica? Got a source for that claim? I ask because Wikipedia sez she was born in Oakland, CA.

Thanks. Jamaica...I was there once. Stayed at the beautiful Wyndham resort (boy do I have story about that trip walking the beach and ending up with a local walking/taking me through thick brush past the old Rose Hill plantation and ending at the gate of the Johnny Cash mansion) I have a couple of native friends there. I really regret to have lost contact with them. I was always welcome at their place, although I never made it. The 2nd hard-working guy I met was a floor man...ceramic tile guy...beautiful work. I met him at a big-box store I worked at. He worked all summer in Michigan...in the winter would go home to Jamaica and work on his “mansion” in the hills.

Great experience in Jamaica.

“Three Nationality Harris is not a natural born citizen.”

So, Harris was born with the right of citizenship & the duty of allegiance to three different nations? Which would mean at some point she would have needed to declare one citizenship over the other, which in my opinion is what naturalized citizens do, they choose to surrender a birth citizenship or citizenships for U.S. citizenship.

Precisely, natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they are born here of citizen parents, could not be anything else and have ONE nationality, ONE allegiance, ONE loyalty.
