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.

If the Republicans get control, then I suggest a 51 vote majority should be enough to arrest all Democrat politicians and send them to Gitmo for immediate waterboarding.
It looks like Republicans will win the senate majority in November.
Remember when Trump was elected and Republicans controlled Congress ? They told Trump he wasn’t “allowed” to pass any legislation in the Senate unless he had 60 votes!!!
There will be at least two GOP pickups, West Virginia and Montana.
The election cycle of 2022 says "Hi!"
I prefer 2010. After the Obamacare backlash the GOP picked up 63 House seats. They didn’t do much with it which is why we are where we are today.
Let fill and buster handle it.
The fillibuster is nothing compared to what they will do first. They are primed up and ready to eliminate the Electoral College ASAP. From that point on there will never be another Republican elected. If one ever does get elected again it will only be to further the illusion of fairness. And that Republican will be a Democrat with a very small almost invisible R who’s goals will be the very same.
Getting rid of the Electoral College requires an Constitutional Amendment. Not very likely.............
That would require an amendment to the Constitution. That’s not done with majority vote. That’s 2/3, beyond the 60 vote reqt.
Nothing is going to happen at $36T.
People. The GOP needs to put it up for a vote first thing in January. It would allow the GOP to take us back 100 years if the democrats would agree. They’ll say no and the issue is put away but for how long? Same with packing the court. Put the 2 together along with the statehood crap(PR/DC). No doubt they’d do it even if they have to do it at gunpoint.
Speaking of gunpoint. They’d make Trump go down on Hillary with Bill holding the gun.
Obama was not able to seize total power. Checks and balances prevailed for the time being.
If Harris/Walz wins in November, there will be no checks and balances remaining. America will become a communist country.
Do it Chuck and then you’ll for sure lose the Senate. That’s not a threat, it’s a promise.

If in 2024 the Democrats cheat their way to the White House and control of Congress, I have no doubt they will eliminate the filibuster. It might be for just a few things at first. But then it will be for everything.
It will be for the environment. And for the children. And for a better tomorrow. And for the Revolution. ✊
Oops. I shouldn’t have said that last one. It was supposed to be a secret.
“requires an Constitutional Amendment.”
Having the Administration, House, Senate, Supreme Court, plus the backstabbing false Republicans, plus the fact they have thrown the Constitution in the toilet, it is actually very possible.
We shall see how brave and immoral they are...

Pretty good and likely list. In summary... Full on one party Communist State like China.
As long as the vote is bastardized the Cabal will rule. We the People will be relegated to ATM status in perpetuity.
