End Of The Fillibuster

Some time in the next week or two the Donkeys are going to attempt an end run around the Constitution. They want very badly to pass their so called “voter rights” legislation to essentially legalize the federal take over of the election process in this country. However, they know they can't get the 60 votes for it ( never mind that it violates the constitution ) so they need to do an end run. Simply put they want to end the filibuster.

For those of you who don't know, the filibuster is the tool used in the senate to protect the rights of the minority party, it allows one senator or a group of senators to speak to either delay or stop a vote in the senate. It is essentially a tool in place to keep cooler heads prevailing when a piece of legislation is clearly partisan. With out the filibuster the majority only needs to get 51 votes, a simple majority, instead of the required 60. It was first introduced in 1806 but not used much until about 1837 and then was strengthened in the 1970's.

Now the donkeys, led by the chief donkey, want to change this. They want it removed. These are the same donkeys, that when the elephants were threatening to do the same in the mid 2000's, screamed that it would put an end to our “democracy.” I agreed with them then. Ending the filibuster means that the majority party, no matter how slim that majority is, can ram through legislation that in all actuality may not be particularly popular or needed.

So now we have some of those same donkeys screaming that if they don't get rid of the filibuster it will be the end of our democracy. Hypocrites.

The truth is, is that they know they can't pass this voter legislation without destroying the filibuster. They don't have enough votes to legally do it, so they want to change the rules and cheat, as always.

But please understand, this is about more then destroying the filibuster. This is little more then attempt by the donkeys to attempt one party rule. Again ignoring the constitutional battle that would occur if it was passed, if the federal government is in control of the elections, then they become the arbiters of what is allowed and what isn't. We saw what happened in the last “election” now picture that on steroids and for the foreseeable future. We will never again have a legitimate fair election.

But lets even set that aside for the moment. Imagine all the other crazy things that the donkeys have attempted to get through that would tax us into oblivion, such as the BBB, and destroy our economy to an even worse degree then it is already. Think about your freedoms that they would either get rid of or regulate to death. This one move can, and will, effect everyone if they succeed. There would literally be no stopping them, we would be a socialist nation in short order with no one to bail us out but ourselves, and most of us appear to be asleep at the switch or there would be a much louder outcry from all sides.

 

SCOTUS vs Mandate

 

Tomorrow is a big day here in the United States. Today the media and politician types are focused on remembering the idiocy of Jan 6^th of 2020. Tomorrow, Jan. 7 the rest of us may remember it as being the day that American freedom died.

On Jan.7^th SCOTUS will hear arguments both for and against the federal governments stab mandates.

They will decide if the federal government can force private businesses into forcing their employees to get the controversial stabs.

Setting aside the fact that these are proving to be almost useless in preventing the spread of said bug, the issue at hand is much more profound.

If the court rules that the fed can indeed force this upon businesses of 100 or more employees, then it stands to reason that they will go after smaller businesses as well, and once they have accomplished that then they will go after all of us as individuals, there will literally be nothing to stop the federal government from forcing everyone into compliance by whatever means they deem necessary.

Maybe some of you reading this thinks that it's OK for the fed to do this because of your fear of this bug or you have been stabbed already and you're OK with forcing everyone. If that's the case, and it's your right to believe this way, whats next?

Our population is too big, we need to force sterilization or birth control on everyone to control the population because it's a health crisis.

You need to eat only the foods that we say are good for you because it's a health crisis.

You can't speak the truth or go against the accepted government controlled narrative because it could constitute a health emergency. This one is already happening in the background via social media.

We need to force everyone to give up their guns because “gun violence” is a health emergency. That one is already in the works, behind the scene.

But there is nothing to restrict them to health emergencies. Once the government has the right to dictate what we do with our bodies there is nothing they won't be able to do.

We don't want you living in the country because humans are destroying the environment so we are going to mandate that you live in suburbia or the city.

You don't need your own personal vehicle. See environment. So we are going to mandate that you give up your car, which you won't need because you'll be where there is public transportation.

Your religion has to be approved of, and monitored by, the state. Your old way of believing is a threat to mental health of individuals because you actually follow the bible.

These are not far fetched. Once you let the fed override the Constitution and violate your individual right to control your own body, everything else becomes a very real possibility.

We are at a serious crossroad here. We have been for awhile.

We have a set of elected officials, and many more that have not been elected, that want us to become a socialist/communist country. They are throwing everything that they have into this effort, including the mandates. If they win this one, and sadly I think they will, 6-3, they will have accomplished something that will be the envy of every despot and dictator in the world and it won't end with just this mandate, more will follow.

Pray. A lot.
