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.

Revolution
democrats think they can cheat forever and never lose power. They may be right
Federal congress cannot legislate abortion. According to the 10A it is a state issue. The SCOTUS agreed in Dobbs in 2022.
I would start with the RINOs.
All members of congress would have 90 days to divest themselves of any holdings in Chinese companies or corporations.
After the 90 grace period, any member of congress holding ANY investments in China would be subject to arrest for treason.
In addition, all Chinese nationals not holding US citizenship or Green Cards go home, immediately.
China has infiltrated every federal agency and nobody does anything about it, including RINOs.
We will never regain control of America until these China-loving slobs are dealt with, and harshly.
These dirtbags need to be crushed or else all efforts to regain control of America will be wasted.
Time to revisit the concept of secession. The legislatures of the South, the lower Midwest, and the Northern Rockies states will have to channel their inner Jefferson Davis.
I hope you’re right. Chuck Schumer is as evil as they come and I would love to see the speakership taken away from him. Heck, I’d love to see him voted out of office.
They can’t eliminate the Electoral College, it would take a Constitutional amendment.
You didn’t spell “Ukraine’s Front Lines” correctly
That is the key that will unravel everything. Packing the Court would mean anything the RATS want to do would be ruled constitutional by the packed majority. The legal arguments will not matter. It will be wise Latina arguments that carry the day.
“That is the key that will unravel everything. Packing the Court would mean anything the RATS want to do would be ruled constitutional by the packed majority.”
Yep, absolutely.
See #17 and #29.
“Getting rid of the Electoral College requires a Constitutional Amendment. Not very likely.............”
Unless they simply decided to toss out the Constitution and write another one. Many newly elected communist governments take this road to absolute power. Out with the old and in with the new. As long as the military and law enforcement are on their side it is simple to execute.
Our first governing document after the Revolutionary War was the Articles of Confederation. A group of representatives, chosen by the states met in Philadelphia to suggest improvements and amendments to the Articles of Confederation. The delegates chose instead to ignore their charge, throw out the Articles and write a new Constitution.
Consider, if the Democrat House and Senate voted to establish a committee to “modernize” the Constitution. They appoint a distinguished group of left wing scholars, activists and politicians to draft amendments. The group meets for a month and voila a completely new Constitution is presented. The House and Senate ratify it, the president signs it, and announces it will be implemented immediately. If the military supports the action, the current Constitution goes away and the new government takes control.
You need 2/3 of the states to amend it, not just 2/3 of the Senate.
I do think the Democrats will try and just pass legislation eliminating it and let their courts allow it after they pack SCOTUS.
Dems learned their lesson then and gerrymandered dozens of solid districts by gerrymandering in blue states.
That scenario is not possible................
That’s because virtually all elected Republicans are grifters on Team Satan and that is unlikely to change. The system is terminal.
3/4 of the states.
My bad. Long day as my alma mater had an amazing comeback football win today against New Mexico.
Or be found and photographed in bed with a dead, underage, prostitute (idea courtesy of “Unintended Consequences”).
If he eliminates the filibuster, there will be so much “joy” that those nasty conservatives will go Galt.
