Kamala Harris: supreme court rulings portend ‘attack’ on ‘hard-fought freedoms’

Vice-president decries conservative-dominated court's decisions on LGBTQ+ rights, student debt relief and affirmative action

The US supreme court rulings which struck down the White House's student debt relief plan, affirmative action in college admission and a Colorado law that protected LGBTQ+ rights portend a national movement to attack hard-won and hard-fought freedoms", Vice-President Kamala Harris has said.

In an interview with National Public Radio's Michel Martin, Harris declared that this is a serious moment" for people who believe in the promise of our country [but] understand we have some work yet to do to fully achieve that promise".
