Did Harris court Dick Cheney? Did she court Gonzales? I feel like that is an overstatement of what is happening. And your point on the scientists is a good one. But that is a cult right now so that is how a cult behaves - anyone not touting the exact party line is declared an enemy. A party contains a diverse set of views but a single set of goals (in this case preserve free democracy )

She didn't court them. But why did she respond? Not responding is a choice. And it would have put some pressure on the Neocons to explain their flip. Unless, Harris secretly agreed that she would respond if she got the endorsements. We don't know, but this could have been conditional.
