Subj : Pence-Harris Debate To : Aaron Thomas From : Lee Lofaso Date : Thu Oct 08 2020 08:17 pm Hello Aaron, >Mike Pence was pretty impressive in today's debate! He squeezed the perfect > last sentences out in each category. Too bad I missed them, as whatever he said or may have said over his time limit got zapped by my television set. >I thought it was pretty shameful of Kamala Harris to basically admit that > Biden plans to retaliate against the American people and pack the supreme > court. That might be what you wish she would have said. But far from what she actually said. Had you actually watched the debate, you would have known that. >The dirtiest detail of it is that she tried to dodge the question; so > Americans can find out after the fact. She answered Pence's question directly and to the point. Her position is the same as Joe Biden's. Let the American people decide. Whoever they vote fore as president during the presidential election should nominate the open seat on the USSC. This is in line with what every poll has said the vast majority of the American people want. She also cited the example shown by Abraham Lincoln, who chose to wait until after the presidential election in 1864 to nominate a new justice. That opening occurred just 27 days before the election. We are already in the process of electing a president, with over 5 million Americans having already voted. Harris says she is fine with whoever is elected to make that nomination. As are the vast majority of the American people. Along with Joe Biden. You want to know who is packing the Supreme Court? Republicans. Moscow Mitch & Co. have been doing it for years. They have even gone so far as to ditch the filibuster rule in regards to the issue of confirming justices for the USSC. Fact of the matter is Republicans (such as Moscow Mitch) have absolution no intention of allowing any Democrat who has been elected President to have his/her own choice of filling a seat on the USSC to even have a hearing, much less a confirmation vote. >The last question of the debate was answered especially nicely by Pence, > when he said that politicians respect each other as people. "Well, there's a classic parlor game of trying to find a little bit of daylight between running mates. If people want to play that game, we can look in to why an evangelical Christian like Mike Pence wants to be on a ticket with a president caught with a porn star." ~ Pete Buttigieg, 10/8/2020 >Unfortunately, Kamala didn't offer the child an answer. If that child were > old enough to vote, they'd vote Pence/Trump. I do not believe any child would want to have anything to do with a politician who associates himself with a self-admitted sex predator. --Lee -- If we don't get it / Shut it down! --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)
