Kammi's never going to be president.
In an interview broadcast yesterday by National Public Radio, Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) said that she would not impose the death penalty on someone who committed treason against the United States.
In the interview, which aired on NPR’s Morning Edition, Steve Inskeep had the following exchange with Harris:
Inskeep: California’s current governor, Gavin Newsom, has this week, as I am sure you know, announced a moratorium on the death penalty in California. Is there a federal equivalent that you would do? Federal executions, of course, are quite rare. But there’s a federal death penalty.
Harris: Yes, I think that there should be.
Inskeep: A moratorium, an end?
Harris: Yes. I do, I do believe that.
Inskeep: No one would be executed?
Harris: Correct.
Inskeep: If you were president of the United States?
Harris: Correct.
Inskeep: For any crime?
Harris: Correct.
Inskeep: Not even, I don't know, treason.
Harris: Not in the United States, no.
Inskeep: There’s nothing that rises to that level?
Harris: Not in the United States, no.

I hope she won't be, but I'm a little concerned about saying "never."
People who write the other party's campaign ads for them seldom win anything, particularly given recent Republican aggressiveness. But maybe you're right about "never." All I've got to say is that if it does happen, I've got three words of advice.
Buy a gun.
It's not Kammie, it's Kalamata!
