During a town hall on CNN on Monday, 2020 presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) vowed that if Congress doesn’t pass gun legislation within the first 100 days of her administration, she will “take executive action.”

Just another example why the Constitution is nothing but a speed bump to Democrats in their haste to exercise power.

Man, now all she has to do is poll better than 5%

To be fair, our president just abused executive power as well. Or at least tried to. Over a campaign promise...

She’ll transform “Enemies Foreign and Domestic” from a novel into a how-to book.

Possibly so...but Presidents have been abusing executive power since day one...FDR did for sure. In our lifetime the most egregious abuser was Barack Obama...but if no one in Congress does anything to stop it it effectively becomes law and expands Presidential power at the expense of Congressional authority. With Trump there has been Congressional pushback lacking with Obama.

I won't argue with that at all. Every time it happens and goes unopposed, it becomes that much easier. Maybe the wall situation was a breaking point, we won't know until it happens again.

Will not comply

EOs are not laws. She can pound sand.

Executive orders are much misunderstood. Executive orders only affect the Executive Branch and only are in force for the duration of the time in office of the issuing President. When Presidents change, the first EO issued by the new President is usually to continue all other EO's in force until they can be examined and continued or discontinued with a new EO. EO's are supposed to be more or less "housekeeping" types of orders on how the Executive Branch is to conduct itself. Unfortunately it's effectively become a way to make new law without going through the Constitutionally appropriate legislative route...the Congress.

I agree, but she can cause a LOT of damage through just administrative rule making.... think bump stocks, but worse.

I really hope all democrats candidates keep trying to out do each other, guns, green deals, reparations until they show everyone just how Looney tunes they are. Make it easier for MAGA 2020.

Silverlode · Apr 23, 2019

Based on that, maybe we all should vote for her. Sooner we get this over with the better.

I see no way that a CA Progressive can carry the day in Purple States and Independent voters. No way at all.

She has been in a decline in the polls since February, hoping her slide continues...

So is Kamie going to give up her Cali CCW and sell her pistol?

Democratic race is definitely going to be a war of attrition, with candidates polling 3rd-7th place hoping other candidates polling 3rd-7th place will drop out sooner. I think Harris could pick up support if she outlasts Warren, Booker, and possibly Buttigieg (although I don't see him dropping).

If Biden is able to win the nomination (I think there's an excellent chance that he'll sabotage himself and step out), he will pick a female VP candidate for sure. Harris has got to be the top contender (her presence would reduce his "Anita Hill" problem with some Democrats). Of course if he starts talking about this before the race is over, he'll get punished for being presumptuous and not taking women candidates seriously.

So we need more laws for lawful people to follow because not enforcing the current laws does not deter criminals.

TheOriginalMexicanBob · Apr 23, 2019

Some of the Democrats know they don't have a chance...they're either looking for name recognition for a future run or the VP slot now. It is a war of attrition much like the GOP list of candidates of 2015-2016. They're jockeying for position for the future or to be a player in a Democrat administration.

“Guns for me but not for thee.”

Surely the American people will see through the hypocrisy, right?...

What a dope, has she not paid any attention to what Trump has gone through. OK she EO's some conservative governor(s) files a lawsuit in federal court.
