Seriously, "empty-headed"? If duty or election should ever advance her to the White House, Kamala Harris would be one of the most academically qualified presidents in American history, and her statements on public policy are characteristically deliberate, precise, and well-informed. Perhaps a little bit too deliberate, but that is precisely because she prefers to study matters for a long period before making any official statement about them. You may not respect informed perspectives, but to call someone who is considerate and bookish to a fault "empty-headed" is completely absurd. Her amicus brief on Prop 8 is well worth a read, for any American citizen confused about why the federal government was not obliged to defend an unconstitutional state law, and closely preceded the language and logic that the Supreme Court ultimately used in ruling on the case that secured marriage rights for all Americans regardless of their sex.
