They really are this Fascist and desperate. I am amused that the idiot Schumer believes that Democrats will take all three branches of Government over this November. I really seriously doubt there are that many stupid voters in this country.

Chuck Schumer potentially eliminating the filibuster is the key to a radical agenda

Chuck Schumer is doing us a favor.

Often, parties try to obscure or deny their radical plans prior to an election, but the Senate majority leader is being more candid.

In a session with reporters at the Democratic National Convention, Schumer (D-NY) suggested that — should Democrats win the White House, Senate and House in November — he would seek to end the filibuster for purposes of passing voting rights and abortion legislation.

This would be an inflection point in American government.

There’s no nuking the legislative filibuster a little bit.

The end run around the Senate’s long-standing requirement for 60 votes to pass nonfiscal legislation might begin with voting rights and abortion, but it surely wouldn’t end there.

If a nationwide imposition of abortion on demand can pass with 51 votes, why can’t Medicare for All or the Green New Deal?

Schumer already says he wants another massive climate bill, and
waves away any criticism about the national debt.

 

Drooling at pet causes

Once the legislative filibuster has been significantly breached, any group of Democratic senators that wants a particular bill would demand that its pet cause get exempted, too.

And left-wing interest groups would also insist on getting equal treatment — if Planned Parenthood gets a carve-out for national abortion legislation, why wouldn’t the unions for all their priorities?

The appetite grows with eating.

Everything that Democrats want, but is currently out reach for the lack of 60 votes or bipartisan support, would become obtainable, from comprehensive immigration reform to national gun control.

President Biden’s unilateral measures that have been struck down by the courts, including his student debt relief scheme, would be revived and slammed through Congress.

A filibuster-free Democratic trifecta in Washington easily could tilt the political order fundamentally in its favor.

It could pass “court reform” that would allow it to instantly wipe out the constitutionalist majority on the Supreme Court that has been built up over decades, and make Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, states to add easy electoral votes and more senators to the Democratic column.
