    No, this is false. Her job was/is fundamentally to help ensure justice is administered, it is not to convince a judge (or a jury) to put people in jail.

    Plenty of AGs have run on not enforcing specific unjust laws.

    You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the legal system.

    And yes Kamala was and continues to be a horrible human being. She never would have survived a primary for this reason.

    We literally denied Nazis the defense of ‘I was just following orders’ for good reasons. Just because kamala’s actions were slightly less damning doesnt change the fact she made the personal choice to make those arguments in court.
