Harris is the first female,[4] the first African-American,[5][6][7][8][9] and the first Asian-American attorney general in California
Harris has been a vocal proponent for gun control her entire career. While serving as District Attorney in Alameda County Harris recruited other District Attorneys and filed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller, arguing that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual’s right to own firearms.[36] Harris also supported San Francisco’s proposition H, which would have prohibited most firearms within city limits.[37]
Harris is opposed to the death penalty but has said that she would review each case individually.[43] Her position was tested in April 2004, when SFPD Officer Isaac Espinoza was murdered in the Bayview district. Harris announced that she would not seek the death penalty for the man accused of his killing. The decision evoked protests from the San Francisco Police Officers Association,
Harris created a special Hate Crimes Unit as San Francisco District Attorney. She focused on hate crimes against LGBT children and teens in schools. She convened a national conference to confront the “gay-transgender panic defense”, which has been used to justify violent hate crimes.[56] Harris supports same-sex marriage in California and opposed both Proposition 22 and Proposition 8.[57]
IOW, what’s not to like (from Obama’s shoes)?
She’s ‘eminently qualified’ and chosen by the president, so Repubicans will put on a show then rubber stamp as always.
Zero chance that southern democrats up for election this year will support her. Might shock the administration for a change that they can’t even get their own senators to back them up.
