More ignorance on the Supreme Court bench is NOT what we need now

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) contrasted [Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney] Barrett’s view on climate change with the nominee’s views on coronavirus and smoking during a line of questioning.

“Do you accept that COVID-19 is infectious?” asked Harris, who is running for vice president.

“Yes, I do accept COVID-19 is infectious...it’s an obvious fact,” said Barrett.

“Do you accept that smoking causes cancer?”

“I’m not sure exactly where you’re going with this,” Barrett told Harris, but added, “Yes, every package that cigarettes warns that smoking causes cancer.”

“And do you believe that climate change is happening and is threatening the air we breathe and the water we drink?” Harris replied.

“You have asked me a series of questions that are completely uncontroversial...and then trying to analogize that to elicit an opinion from me that is on a very contentious matter of public debate and I will not do that. I will not express a view on a matter of public policy, especially one that is politically controversial,” Barrett said.

“Thank you Judge Barrett,” Harris said. “You’ve made your point clear that you believe it’s a debatable point.”
