Bless Their Hearts
Senate Republicans sent John Cornyn out to troll Kamala Harris while she explained that the Republican bill is an effort to derail actual police reform.
At the end, Senator Harris says 15 kind words, and then stands there, nicely smiling, while Cornyn bleeds out of the Senate floor. A warning to Republicans: Don’t send a fork to a knife fight, Boys.

Thanks to G Foresight for the heads up.
Been sayin’ this for years. Cornyn is the quintessential urban Texas cowboy – all hat and no cattle! Yet, Texans reelect him time after time???
1I love that woman. I hope she’s our next VP, and then our Pres.
2I sorta want her to remain where she is – until the Notorious RBG retires – and then….
She is 55 – she will be a Supreme for a very long time.
3It’s hard to believe that when he was on Tex. supreme court and then Attorney General that he was actually in favor of sunshine laws and open govt. Money and power do have influence, don’t they?
4That was nice of her to give him a few seconds to draw his hind legs up into his butt before he scurried off . . . .
5John Cornyn needs a Senate Handbook For Dummies.
6I’d love to see her debate Pence, and also DUHTrumpf. She’s been my choice for VP and then President. She can then influence who should be on the SCOTUS. I’m pulling for RBG to be a pain in RepugnantCONs asses for as long as possible. Years.
7I don’t know if it was me or it was my computer, but I wasn’t able to get all her words in that statement. Could someone post them here for me? Thanks.
8It would be nice to have her be the next AG where could clean up the mess at the DOJ, then run for/get the presidency, and then become the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court.
I can wish, can’t I.

Here you go, with a little commentary thrown in for good measure.

10For AK–She said, “Indeed that is the beauty of the judiciary committee. Our meetings are public meetings.” Full stop.
11Thanks, jaime and Merrigay, and that youtube video was great.
12Just think what she’ll do to Pence on debate night.
13Wow.
14She is fantastic.
Do you get the feeling that she learned a few things while she was lawyering in Californy?
15I just watched the documentary ‘Atticus v. The Architect’ about former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. Someone on one of these threads recommended it. Wow! It was really good and really disturbing. Whoever becomes our next Attorney General will have a lot of cleaning up to do. It is on Amazon and free with Prime.
16She put a fork in him and roasted him on a spit. I love her!
Jo @ 16,
I think she’ll be doing more than cleaning up. She’ll collecting hides and heads, too.
17OOPS, should read, “She’ll be collecting hides and….”.
18Thanks, Jaime.
19Jeeeeeeez, Cornyn is embarrassing.
That was awesome. She is awesome. And I like her for V.P., A.G. or Chief Justice.
20Being a Texan, cornyn is just medium level embarrassin.
Which says a lot.
Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO this week is about systemic racism. The Bellaire baseball player story is stunning.
And one quote about Covid 19 from a healthcare professional really caught my attention.
“American exceptionalism isn’t recognized by a virus”
I probably screwed up the quote.
Sen. Cornyn did that exchange with Sen. Harris for exactly one reason: To get a clip for election adverts.
That clip of him accusing the Democrats of holding secret meetings will appear in advertising in Texas for his campaign (sans the response from Sen. Harris).
Cornyn sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee; he knows all their sessions are open to the public. He specifically lied to get a soundbite for a future advert accusing Democrats of trying to hide behind “secret hearings.”
21I am definitely hoping Harris and Warren have prominent positions in a Biden administration.
22Cornyn, as ever, does a mediocre job at best. It’s just laziness that he hasn’t had a challenge from within his own party. But I’d be happy to see Royce West or MJ Hagar in his seat next year. Either one would accomish more for Texas in one term than this human Whiteout smear has in his entire career.
