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.

After Biden ‘won’ the Senate did try to eliminate the Filibuster. It is only because two RAT senators refused that it still exists. They also tried to Nationalize the elections as well. Ted Cruz was there late at night to stop one of the attempts.
FTA:
“Schumer...waves away any criticism about the national debt.”

Then, we will have completed O’Bungler’s “total transformation”.

He would just be replaced by someone potentially worse like Bragg.
Forgive me for being the pessimistic downer of the group, but if this election goes as I fear it will, the republicans will NEVER see themselves in the majority again....
No offense to “The count” on Sesame Street, but he looks vampiresque.
How come Bragg doesn’t have to change her name?
Constitutional Amendment to get rid of the Electoral College requires 2/3rds of both the House and Senate and 3/4ths of the states. That’s 38 states. This has a zero percent chance of happening.
Democrats have a lot of pipe dreams.
If they can steal an election, censor political dissent, jail their opposition, bring the full weight of the government down on a former President via 8+ YEARS of lawfare, and execute a coup against a sitting pResident in their own party, what makes you think a pesky thing like the Constitution is going to stop them from anything?
It is possible, and frightening. Well, that is overstating my feeling on the matter. I am already at level 10 in worry over our country. At age 71, there is only the joy of grandchildren, and friends left. Democrats divide them from their grandparents and parents. They ARE OF their Father Lucifer.
