Bazelon has explained that her concern with Title IX is its disproportionate impact on black men as highplainsdem Jun 2019 #17

You know, when you can be criticized, equally credibly, for misuse of the powers of the office RHMerriman Jun 2019 #15

And it doesn't help that Kamala is putting her prosecutorial experience front and center InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #34

The senator is vulnerable to being criticized by liberals for misuse of her office's power RHMerriman Jun 2019 #37

The job of a prosecutor is not by its nature, progressive. marybourg Jun 2019 #56

To a degree, she was a product of Willie Brown and his machine where she got her patronage 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #60
