Harris On The Supreme Court? Bad Idea!

Speculation ramps up about Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's Supreme Court pick

Aside from her lack of constitutional scholarship, it's a really
bad idea to put another prosecutor in the SCOTUS, & miss
the opportunity to appoint a criminal defense lawyer.
I'd prefer someone with an eye towards civil rights, especially
when dealing with cops & courts. With police reform stalling,
let's have a better advocate for civilians.

An opinion from 2017....
There's been no criminal defense lawyer on the Supreme Court since 1991. That’s a problem.

It feels like an out. Biden isn't going to run in 2024 allegedly and will retire. Harris doesn't really have a good chance of running and may be trying to get what she can get. Then we get to see another fiasco like in 2020. Which will be entertaining as always until somehow the worst most milk toast centrist do nothing candidate emerges.

Sort of a consolation prize?
SCOTUS is too important for that.
It matters what orientation a justice has.
I'd like someone strong on civil liberties.

I mean I agree that she doesn't deserve that position. Technically I don't believe she deserves her current position.

She's qualified to be VP.
SCOTUS is different, demanding very strong particular skills.
And we need someone who's been on the defendant's side.
Police reform will be an uphill battle.

Kamela Harris to the SC? Sounds like nothing more than right-wing baseless speculation, formulated on Fox and amplified by the equally repugnant New York Post.
