Who Wants to Blow Up Our Constitution? (It's Not Trump.)

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Just think that if Biden wins, the Democrats will not only get away with, but be rewarded for weaponizing the FBI and CIA to spy on the opposing party's campaign. The left keeps saying that Trump wants to be an "authoritarian" but it's not Trump that is abusing power in these gross and despicable ways.

Also, which party is taking away Constitutional rights? Democrat governors are using this virus as an excuse to deny people their liberties. Just yesterday, Cuomo said he would "shut down" religious institutions if they did not follow his executive orders. Not remotely Constitutional, but that's never stopped Democrats before.
There are three reasons Biden and the Democrats won’t say what they will do. Despite what happened to them in 2016, they believe a purely negative campaign can win the White House. They are betting that revulsion with Trump is that high. Second, the more Biden and Kamala Harris say, the more likely they are to alienate either progressive activists or center-left independents – and they need both groups to win. Third, the media doesn’t press them for answers, so why give them? The mainstream media want Democrats to win, and they have behaved more like adjuncts of the Biden campaign than neutral reporters.

A negative campaign does not mean the Democrats won’t enact a positive agenda if they are elected. Senior Democrats on Capitol Hill have already floated ideas that would fundamentally alter both Congress and the courts -- that is, Articles I and III of the Constitution. To do that, they must not only win the presidency and both houses of Congress, they must change the Senate’s long-established rules, which allow a sufficiently large minority to stop radical legislation. If that minority is 40 votes or more, its members can “filibuster” the bill and prevent its passage. What Democrats are suggesting is they will abolish the filibuster in order to pass sweeping legislation with just 50 votes and Vice President Kamala Harris to break the tie.
