Kamela Casts Tie-Breaker Vote

2021-12-11

[Epoch Times] Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote on Wednesday to confirm Biden’s nominee Rachael Rollins

...one of the Soros collection of district attorneys...

as U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts over the objection of all 50 Senate Republicans.

Rollins was previously the District Attorney (DA) for Suffolk County, and in that role Rollins was exceedingly lenient, refusing to prosecute those charged with several violent crimes.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) objected to the nomination on the Senate floor, calling Rollins a "left-wing prosecutor."

"Many Americans have probably never heard of Rachael Rollins," Cruz began. "But they are becoming very familiar with the kind of lawlessness and dangerous crime that radical left-wing district attorneys like [Rollins] have generated."

Cruz continued, "Under their watch, we’ve seen looting, and larceny, and violent crime rates rise in cities all over the country the past couple of years." DAs like Rollins, Cruz said, "see it as their job not to prosecute crime, [but] to protect criminals."

In fact, cities across the country have seen a rise in crime and a drop in enforcement of the law since the summer of 2020.

In a 2019 memo from Rollins’ time as DA, she gave her staff a list of 15 common offenses which she said "should be declined or dismissed pre-arraignment without conditions. The presumption is that charges that fall into this category should always be declined."

In other words, Rollins used her position of power to refuse to enforce the law for a laundry list of crimes, including, among others, trespassing, shoplifting, larceny, disorderly conduct, receiving stolen property.

#1 "see it as their job not to prosecute crime, [but] to protect criminals"

... plus enforce tyrannical decrees and prosecute the law-abiding as "terrorists" and "insurrectionists."

Don't forget the tyrannical part of Anarcho-Tyranny
