Kamala learned how she can destroy a life with a swipe of her pen

Kamala learned how she can destroy a life with a swipe of her pen. What would a free and independent press do when that happened? Well...what did the press do when that was done to Donald Trump?

Posts Claim Harris Once Said She Can Ruin Lives with the 'Swipe of a Pen.' Here's the Context (msn.com) She is showing how others, presumably Republicans, can ruin your life, but she did just that to many as California attorney general.

Kamala Harris’s record as California prosecutor hurt her 2020 campaign. Will 2024 be different? | US elections 2024 | The Guardian  . . ." As DA, Harris championed state legislation that threatened jail time for parents if their children were repeatedly absent.

"As DA and AG, Harris was also criticized for defending convictions in cases where there was evidence of innocence and prosecutorial misconduct; opposing legislation to require AG investigations into police shootings; defending the prison system in civil rights litigation, as the state’s top lawyer and clashing with sex worker rights’ groups. She declined to seek the death penalty as SFDA, but then as AG fought against a challenge to capital punishment." . . .

Attorney General Kamala Harris Was Even Worse Than You Think  (thebulwark.com)  "Anyone interested in justice was entitled to feel a Chris Matthews thrill up their leg when Tulsi Gabbard went after Kamala Harris for her record as state attorney general at the Detroit debate.

"Gabbard pointed out that as California’s AG, Harris refused to allow DNA testing that would’ve exonerated a death-row inmate and prosecuted more than 1,000 marijuana cases—though as a candidate she later laughed with a radio host about her own pot-smoking past.

"But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Harris’s tenure.

"There’s the case of Daniel Larsen. After 11 years of incarceration, a federal judge ruled that he was innocent. Harris kept him in prison for two more years while she appealed this decision on a technicality: She argued that Larsen hadn’t provided proof in a timely manner.

"This was not her only bad conduct with regard to wrongfully convicted citizens." . . .

Nichols wrote that “The sense of disappointment and distress conveyed by the court is so palpable, because it recalls no instance in experience over forty-seven years as an advocate and as a judge in which the conduct of the attorney general’s office so thoroughly departed from the high standard it represents.” The office the judge was talking about, of course, belonged to Kamala Harris. (Emphasis added by TD)
