Harris has no intention of following the law

Facing the left-wing voters of a Democratic primary, Vice President Kamala Harris staked out radical positions on a slew of issues far outside mainstream opinion during her failed 2019 presidential run. Now facing a much more centrist general election electorate, Harris is desperate to distance herself from her extremist past, and one of her favorite dodges is her claim that she will “follow the law” if elected president.

Problem is, presidents have far-reaching powers to make the law through both regulatory and prosecutorial decision-making, especially on the issues on which Harris is most desperate to dodge accountability.
