Victor Davis Hanson: This Isn't the Democratic Party Anymore—It's the Jacobin Party

@JamesCarville and Susan Rice have already noted the plan: pack the court the moment they get back in—no amendment, no Congress. Just do it.

Add D.C. and Puerto Rico for four Senate seats. Kill the Electoral College. Kill the filibuster.

Look at the 1992 and 1996 Democratic platforms under Clinton—secure borders, deportations, teens who commit murder tried as adults, balanced budget. Today, that platform would be called racist and fascist by the very party that ran on it.

Thirty years ago, a Nazi tattoo would have been disqualifying in the Democratic Party. Today, the Party endorsed a Senate candidate in Maine who has worn one for 20 years. Nobody objects. They're incapable of objecting.

This isn't the Democratic Party. It's something completely different—the Jacobin Party. And just like the French Jacobins, it's run by very wealthy people who want to tear everything down and start from year zero.

I think you might be mistaken. The sources I looked up all say that Congress must pass an enabling act, which has to be approved by the President, and the act of admission, like all other acts of Congress also has to be approved by the President. Congress does have the sole power to begin the process.

[LouAvul]

this would trigger some level of violence...

From who? Conservatives? We've already shown we'll tolerate legal dope, murder of the unborn, preferential treatment to sodomites and the thug black culture. There is nothing the Marxicrats or GOPe (Repugnant Party) can do that will incite us to such action, clearly.

[chickenlips]

Don’t worry.

We have John Thune. He’ll save us.

[larrytown]

People aren’t that hard to find.

[No name given]

But unfortunately that’ll never happen.

[No name given]

That’s how arrogant and power hungry the left truly is.

[mrmeyer]

Peace was never an option with these people

[Carl Vehse]

If they get back in power the Demonicrats will go all out treason against the United States of America.

[packrat35]

People here on FR and the rest of American need to take this seriously. I have been saying this for the last 3 years as they have flat out said they will do this and it is definitely what they ill DO ONCE THEY GAIN POWER AGAIN.

This isn’t a game. Its a direct threat and they are open about it and people aren’t listening.

[luckystarmom]

I’m guessing that would trigger civil war.

[packrat35]

Once they pack the court with 4 new democrats, the court will rule however they want it to.

They do not care about the Constitution at all. They want to ter it down.

[Secret Agent Man]

Agreed on all 3 points.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am wondering how they think they could end run and pull a constitutional convention off, in order to achieve this. Not gonna happen. I dont see any way this gets done.

[Verginius Rufus]

You may be right. The Constitution is often very general and Congress may have established a practice which does require the President’s signature. I know there have been cases where a President pushed for a state to be admitted—West Virginia (illegally carved out of Virginia) and Nevada (to give the Republicans 3 more electoral votes in 1864—for decades Nevada’s total population was well below the 60,000 which had historically been required before a territory was granted statehood, although it may have briefly been over 60,000 in the 1860s because of the silver rush).

[Racketeer]

The level heads always win. The pop offs just love attention.

[hanamizu]

In the case of Nevada, I think the amount of silver being mined may well have counted more for statehood than the 3 EVs.

[MayflowerMadam]

We absolutely MUST continue the current momentum of winning. When/if THEY gain control again, well ... I can’t even imagine. It will be hell on earth.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Time to get the shovel and cut off that snake's head.

[bantam]

These f’ers want CWIII

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup
