🚨 Democrats Break Judiciary Committee Rules to Target Private Citizens, Now Will Face Consequences🚨

Dick Durbin and Judiciary Democrats just blew up the rules to issue a partisan subpoena to private citizens. They will face severe consequences. Let me explain what happened.

Democrats have thrown a hissy fit for years that the Supreme Court has a center-right majority, after decades of believing that the Court “belonged” to the Left. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, and Sheldon Whitehouse have led the charge, threatening justices by name and trying to delegitimize the Court.

In particular, Whitehouse has a weird obsession with a couple Justices (one of his many weird obsessions). He demanded subpoenas to private citizens as a fishing expedition against these Justices. Many Judiciary Democrats secretly oppose the subpoenas? So why did they vote for them? Here’s where it get interesting.

Dick Durbin is the Judiciary chairman, but he’s scared Whitehouse will challenge him for the position next year. He agreed to pursue the subpoenas to placate Whitehouse.

Durbin isn’t a very competent chair, though. He tried to issue subpoenas a few weeks back, but Jon Ossoff quietly objected *in the middle of the hearing* because he was scared to vote on Republican amendments. Ossoff thought the votes could hurt his reelection chances. So Durbin had to end that hearing abruptly.

Today, Durbin’s new tactic was to end debate without votes on ANY Republican amendments, a blatant violation of committee rules and customs. Durbin thus appeased Whitehouse and protected Ossoff.

But what about the other Democrats, who privately admit that Whitehouse’s obsession is dumb and said they opposed Durbin’s scheme? They all went along with it like so many lemmings. I guess they’re scared of Durbin or Whitehouse? Who knows.

Yet I cautioned several in advance that such a naked partisan action would result in severe consequences, imperiling all their priorities for the rest of this Congress. Maybe they thought all the controversy would subside after a while? Think again, and stay tuned.

And now that Durbin opened the pandora’s box of harassing private citizens with subpoenas, believe me, Democrats: what goes around, comes around.

As Leader McConnell once said, they’re going to regret this, and they may regret it a lot sooner than they think.

Ossoff thought the votes could hurt his reelection chances.

This probably the biggest problem with Congress.

When they take office:

Day 1 - Orientation

Day 2 - Start working on re-election.
