I really do not want Kamala Harris to be President.

[allgood33]

I want her to wait for a Democratic President to put her on the SCOTUS. She needs to be a lifelong force for this country. We need her time and focus on the Senate.

1. No reason she can't be both. nt

[Aristus]

3. Yeah. The Presidency, then SCOTUS.

Just like Taft.

[still_one]

2. Don't agree. As President she can appoint a qualified SC justice

[Renew Deal]

6. Any Democrat can do that

[still_one]

8. The person i was responding to wanted her as SC justice over President, and

because it is a lifetime appointment, and my argument was as President she could appoint someone with the same judicial philosophy as she has, implying we essentially have both

[Renew Deal]

9. Ahhh makes sense

[still_one]

15. I should have been clearer in my original post

[INdemo]

10. At this point I fear that Trump will have another SC appointment because

Justice Ginsburg's health might force her to retire.

[ismnotwasm]

4. I really do

I take your point however

[brush]

5. Nah, why deprive the country of the immediate impact she would have?

[honest.abe]

7. Odd logic.

She will be a must stronger force as President.

[WeekiWater]

11. Our bench for quality SCOTUS nominees is long.

It is much more difficult to find a progressive that possess the qualities necessary to run a Presidential campaign.

I also want her to be elevated during the primary process. She speaks well for me on issues I deeply care about. The more national exposure she gets the better we will all be.

12. She needs to do whatever the fuck she wants.

She has my vote.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

13. It's all good.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. This is an awful lot like the

"Elizabeth Warren shouldn't run for President because we need her in the Senate" bit of nonsense. Or anything similar said about any other potential candidate.

[TeamPooka]

16. California can afford to promote her because we will

Replace her with another Democratic Senator unlike the risk of electing/nominating a Senator from a purple state like say, Ohio.
Our next president will also need a Democratic Senate to work with her

[PDittie]

17. She's a little too

corporate for either, IMHO. YMMV.
