Van Hollen Will Kill the Filibuster
Democrats are calling for Senator Chris Van Hollen to challenge Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader. If elected, he suggests he will eliminate the filibuster. I guess this means Van Hollen will agree to a rule to end the filibuster if Republicans propose it. [sarcasm]
The Democrats will have 56 seats in the Senate and can push anything through except for the presidential veto. President Trump will block everything.
Van Hollen will do whatever the far-left communists want. They call it democracy, but they want a one-party dictatorship. They are so close to holding all the power of government. Does anyone think they will give it up? They aren’t Democrats any longer. The communist Democratic Socialists of America said they will have full control of the Democratic Party by 2028.
Democrats want to impeach the President and Vice President, so Hakeem Jeffries becomes president. However, Democrats probably won’t have the necessary 67 votes to convict anyone
If Democrats get their way, think open borders, DC and Puerto Rico become states, a stacked Supreme Court, no Electoral College, and finally, no Constitutional Republic. The destruction will be complete. After this midterm vote, I would be deeply concerned. All that stands between utter destruction is Donald Trump and JD Vance.
While the filibuster is not in the Constitution. It’s a rule. The rule does give the minority party a voice.
This is what Van Hollen said.
“My personal opinion is that we need democracy in the United States Senate, and that means allowing ultimately a majority of senators to answer the call of the American people. So that means 51 votes. So my personal view has been all along that the filibuster is an anti-democratic small D provision. It’s not in our Constitution.
“It was put in there by senators to enhance their power over the power of the people. So my view is we need to have a system where you have lots of debate, lots of debate, but at the end of the day, a majority reflecting the will of the people should be able to hold a vote on an important measure. That’s my personal view.
“This is an issue that I think we need to talk to the caucus about, and I think it’s going to be very important on certain measures, especially democracy protection measures, that we find a way to make sure that the American people’s will governs. And so these candidates have been talking about the power of the people, the power of democracy, over the power of money. So we need to have that conversation.”
President Trump discussed this before the election…
President Trump said at a rally before the election:
“Frankly, we should terminate the filibuster. All of this stuff goes away. All goes away. You terminate the filibuster, you get everything. You’ll get Kate’s law. You’ll get stuff that you don’t ever remember. It’ll be so beautiful. You’ll do it all, and we will never lose an election again because we’ll have really good safeguards.
“All straight, we’ll have great safeguards. You’ll have voter ID. You’ll have proof of citizenship. Everything that you want will be legitimate, because they can’t win an election without cheating because their policy is so bad, their policies are so stupid.”
It is too late now. The election is over. There is no evidence there was cheating in the election. However, Democrats almost always win in absentee/mail-in ballots. We need to understand why or get rid of mail-in ballots.
That might not happen now. It appears that the country wants communism. They voted for it, and might vote for it in 2028.
If you pray, pray.
