re: Kamala Harris rising star drops a bomb

I actually read her full editorial. It's the typical liberal writing: chock full of references about civil rights, gay rights, and more civil rights. Then citing two cases where she disagreed with Gorsuch.

Take the case of Alphonse Maddin, a trucker who got stuck on the road in sub-zero temperatures and abandoned his cargo to seek help. Because he left his truck, his employer fired him. Maddin sued and seven judges ruled in his favor. Only one — Judge Gorsuch — sided with the company. Luckily, Maddin won his case. But had Gorsuch prevailed, it would have been easier for some employers to fire employees without consequence. Imagine that — being fired for trying to save your life.

Gorsuch wrote a dissent that was centered around Chevron and issues of statutory interpretation. it's very likely that had he been the actual deciding vote, he wouldn't have dissented. dissents are often used as platforms for judges to discuss policy implications of bad precedents and it's almost certain this is the only reason Gorsuch dissented

In another case, a college professor named Grace Hwang was diagnosed with cancer. The university provided her a leave of absence to get treatment, but refused to extend that leave even though her doctor said she needed more time to get well. Judge Gorsuch called the university’s decision “reasonable” and rejected her lawsuit. Grace died last summer and her family recently wrote, “His decision was heartless. It removed the human element from the equation. It did not bring justice.”

and this i the problem with how most progs and many liberals view courts

the "human element" has no part in these decisions and relying on such malarkey creates very bad law

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the civil rights hero who argued Brown and inspired my career, once bluntly defined his judicial philosophy, saying, “You do what you think is right and let the law catch up.”

I'm still not clear on this.
If he uncoupled the trailer and left, only to come back in 15 minutes after the truck warmed up, why was he freezing? If the problem was the brake lockup on the trailer...but the truck itself was functioning and able to run with a heater, why was he in danger of freezing?

She's not fit to kiss his boots, let alone judge his excellence as a lawyer. But this is what happens when pieces of junk get elected to Congress.

B) She's in Congress and can get busy fixing the legalism she disagrees with.

---

Well considering that deciding whether to support a Supreme Court nominee is part of her job in Congress, I'd say she's doing that... just a thought

Some laws are stupid and should be recognized as such.

Which would be Kamal's job.

Not the Judge.

Kamala Harris
? ?@SenKamalaHarris

Judge Gorsuch has consistently valued legalisms over real lives. I won't support his nomination.

And Californians had to put up with her for years as California's Attorney General under Gov. Jerry Brown.

Leftists: "Muh feelings are more important than Rule of Law".

If you've paid attention the past 5-10 years, you'd already know this.

She was considered rising star here in California

but I never thought of her as being stupid.

What is in the water in California that turns people into flaming idiotic liberals? You guys out there are worse than libs from the upper West Side of Manhattan
