plutherusLast topic: Supreme court. If Roe v Wade is overturned, would you want Indiana to ban all abortions?
Pence: Soleimani was responsible for hundreds of dead Americans. Trump took him out. Biden criticizes him for doing so. We need Commander in chief who won’t hesitate. (And that has what to do with Roe v Wade?)
We want Barret on the supreme court – brings a lifetime of experience (she has two years of experience, after McCain rammed her through into federal court)
We hope she gets a fair hearing unlike the horrible way you treated Kavanaugh (by asking him questions and implying that the Supreme Court seat he’d been promised was not actually guaranteed to him despite him doing everything the people putting him there told him to do.)
“We are disgusted by all these attacks on her Christian faith.” (No, Mr. Pence, Christians are not a persecuted minority in this country, no matter how much you tell your base otherwise.)
Times up, again, and he’s still babbling
Page: “Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Thank you, Mr. Vice President.”
What would you want California to do if Roe v Wade is overturned?
Harris: Points out that it’s “insulting to suggest we are attacking people of faith, as we are both people of faith.” Biden will be only the second Catholic President (She should have pointed out that the much loved JFK was the first.) We are IN an election now. This isn’t like it’s an election year, it’s an election going on now.
Finally, gets to the question: “Yes, I will always fight for a woman’s right to her own body, what she does is her decision, not Trump’s and not Pence’s.”
She brings up preexisting conditions again. 20 million people will lose their coverage. They are trying to get rid of ACA. Biden strengthens it. That’s pro-life. (She didn't literally drop a mike at this point, just figuratively)
