What
kind of president would Kamala Harris make? Would things in
America change for the better? Would there now be a comity
between the political poles? Would the lawfare the left has
issued forth against Donald Trump and conservatives be ended?
We don’t have to ask. Kamala Harris’s legal record speaks for
itself. 

Now,
let’s stipulate that people make mistakes, admit them, and
grow from the experience. That’s not Kamala Harris, however.
The flip side is the willful, intentional harm done to
constitutional rights. This is not a “mistake,”
it’s treachery. In a recent op-ed, California civil
rights attorney and
GOP activist Harmeet
Dhillon wrote that
“At every step of her career,
Harris has proven that the most dangerous place for a
constitutional norm to be is standing between Harris and her
political ambitions.”

Recently, in a West
Coast, Messed Coast™ update,
I told you about what I considered to be among the worst of
the very bad things Harris did as California’s attorney
general and what her administration would look like under Kamala’s
Kalifornication of America.

Remember
the case of Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress’s
undercover exposé of Planned Parenthood parting out—like a
chop shop—aborted baby parts?

Besides
her efforts to undermine the best country in the world, her
most offensive move to my mind was when, as California AG, she
raided the home of David Daleiden in 2015. Daleiden is the
pro-life journalist who got the top abortionist at Planned
Parenthood to admit on video that the organization sold baby
parts from late-term abortions. He even got their price lists.
All of it was illegal. He was prosecuted instead. 

The
abortion activists convinced the morally and ethically
malleable Harris to go after Daleiden and his Center for
Medical Progress for taking the undercover videos.

Daleiden
went undercover, James O’Keefe and Mike Wallace style, to
capture abortionists discussing in a restaurant how they sold
aborted baby parts and how they manipulated the abortions to
retrieve organs and parts that brought the best prices. 

We
learned later that Harris colluded with her buddies at Planned
Parenthood to discuss ways to go after Daleiden and get all of
his records. Two weeks later, his home was raided by gunned-up
California state DOJ cops who confiscated all of his
electronics.

The
Daily Signal reported that
the emails passed between the two sides prove abortionists
gamed out “criminal enforcement” against the reporter. They
called on the California DOJ and Harris to seize “the computers used
to produce the videos.” Kamala complied, naturally.

As
I reported: 

Kamala
started the prosecution against him. Her buddies at Planned
Parenthood —you know, the ones who chopped up babies and
parted them out?— sued him for $15 million. 

Daleiden took
his appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court where
he was denied cert last year. After denying their butchery
for years, Planned Parenthood officials finally admitted in
court documents that Daleiden’s videos were true.

They
also ran the old “letter from experts” play to apply more
pressure to pursue criminal charges against Daleiden.

The
Supreme Court refused to take the Center for Medical Progress
cases, which would have answered
(again) if undercover
reporting is covered under the First
Amendment.

According
to Daleiden, “Kamala
Harris weaponized the power of her office to try to obstruct
justice for aborted baby body parts traffickers.” 

The
lesson is that people who
stand for nothing will fall for anything. Without the confines
of ethics, Kamala was
easily persuaded to bring criminal
charges and use jackboot tactics against her political
opponent. She
needed Planned Parenthood in her corner for her
future runs for political office. 

But
that wasn’t all. 

Harris
claims now she was a tough prosecutor. Indeed, she was when the political
winds rewarded the behavior. Dhillon
says, “As D.A., Harris was the worst of both worlds: A
soft-on-crime progressive prosecutor who failed to keep her
city safe and who looked the other way when
it came to ethics and public
integrity.” She kept people in
prison for longer than needed, and even the Sacramento
Bee admits that
Harris let a man linger on death row because the attorney
general didn’t want to re-test his case with emerging DNA
evidence. 

In
the 2020 Democratic primary, Joe Biden and Tulsi Gabbard
attacked Harris for her unethical and despicable acts as
attorney general and district attorney.

As
San Francisco DA, Harris ignored pleas from a public defender
who had tried to meet with Harris to tell her that her
police-run crime lab was “tampering
with drug samples by lab technician Deborah Madden.” 

The
Bee noted, “The San Francisco drug lab was
shut down after a lead
technician, who testified on behalf of prosecutors on drug
cases, was found to have systematically mishandled the drug
samples seized from suspects, even consuming some herself.”
And “a court ruled in 2010 that the district attorney’s office
violated defendants’ constitutional rights by not disclosing
what it knew about the tainted drug evidence.”

Don’t
miss the punchline: Potentially innocent people
stayed locked up because Harris didn’t come clean about the
tampered evidence at the crime lab. She knew about
the problems because the public defender kept hounding her. 

And
then, as attorney general, she kept a guy on death row who might
have been exonerated with DNA evidence,
tests which she
denied.

Eventually,
Governor Gavin Newsom demanded additional testing, and in 2023, DNA testing
proved that Kevin Cooper was the serial killer prosecutors
said he was. 

As
Gabbard pointed out in the 2020 debate, instead of heeding a
(yes, disastrous) court order and letting some inmates go in
2011, AG Harris kept them locked
up because the summer fire
season was coming, and the state needed the cheap firefighters
to work on the fire lines. Minimum-security prisoners were kept locked up to pick up
trash and maintain parks.

Dhillon
reminds me of the concerted effort AG Harris made to pressure
non-profits to divulge their lists of donors. The
case was dragged out until the Supreme
Court had to remind the commies that freedom of
association is a thing. But even the decision didn’t
stop Harris from abusing the law. 

She’s
already vowed she’d outlaw some guns with an executive order
and more recently said she backed a “mandatory gun buy back”
program. She can call it what she wants, but that’s an opaque
way of saying she’ll confiscate guns. 

When
people tell you who they are, believe them.

that’s good advice when it comes to electoral politics. Here

stories the leftists don’t like. They are the stories that get
us censored by social media sites and

the line of the state-run media. The left does this to put us
out of business. That’s where you come in. Don’t let them.
