A partial transcript of tonight's "Public Affairs," show with guest 8th CD Republican Candidate Kirk Morris (Gurnee) is included, directly, below.
*********************************
Illegal Immigration:
Jeff Berkowitz: McCain, Kennedy, Gutierrez, comprehensive immigration reform, border control…, you would have voted no on that.
Kirk Morris (R-Gurnee, 8th CD): We cannot do the full tancredo but we do have areas that we can agree on: one is securing the border—yesterday.
Jeff Berkowitz: You support that, but not comprehensive—not an earned path to citizenship, not yet?
Kirk Morris (R-Gurnee, 8th CD): Absolutely- we cannot give immigration…we cannot give amnesty to anybody. Citizenship in this country is conferred. It is not to be demanded on me and you cannot buy it at any price.
Bush Tax Cuts:
Jeff Berkowitz: Tax cuts? You support making the Bush tax cuts permanent?
Kirk Morris: Permanent.
Jeff Berkowitz: Unequivocally, you say that.
Kirk Morris: Unequivocally permanent.
Education:
Jeff Berkowitz: Education, you would support school vouchers, school choice?
Kirk Morris: I think school choice is important. I think—
Jeff Berkowitz: School vouchers you support?
Kirk Morris: That would be school choice.
Jeff Berkowitz: Charter schools you support. Civil unions you support?
Civil Unions and Same Sex Marriage:
Kirk Morris: Civil unions—I would support those.
Jeff Berkowitz: Same sex marriage?
Kirk Morris: I would not vote for legislation giving that. No.
Abortion, Federalism and Justice Ginsburg:
Jeff Berkowitz: You’re Pro-Choice?
Kirk Morris: I am---I am, uh, that’s a very divisive issue—
Jeff Berkowitz: You want to return abortion [the issue] to the states?
Kirk Morris: I believe that is where it belongs.
Jeff Berkowitz: But, you would not like to make abortion illegal, even with the exceptions for the life of the mother, rape and incest?
Kirk Morris: I would vote for and continue to support the Hyde Amendment [Bans federal spending on abortion]. I would work very hard at getting parental notification. I would continue the ban on partial birth abortions, but I would not want to take away a woman’s right to make choices over her body. I don’t think—I cannot make that. But, that is a state issue. That is where that belongs.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, in that sense you would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned and send that issue back to the states.
Kirk Morris: Even [Justice] Ruth [Bader] Ginsburg would like to see it overturned and sent back to the states.
Jeff Berkowitz: She told you that personally?
Kirk Morris (R-Gurnee, 8th CD): No, she hasn’t. I read it.
