Exclusive: Sean Harshey says if Republicans were serious, they would have expanded high court
By Sean HarsheyAs expected, Democrats are moving to radically alter the United States Supreme Court. This move would give Joe Biden four justice positions to fill, in addition to whatever vacancies occur during his term.
Democrats are also moving toward abolishing the filibuster in the U.S. Senate and adding Washington, D.C., (and possibly Puerto Rico) as states for the purpose of increasing their representation in the House and cementing a permanent majority in the Senate.
None of these foundational changes in our government are unexpected. Democrats have promised these changes over the past few years as goals for when they resumed political control over the federal government.
Ultimately, these are examples of GOP weakness over the past several decades. Democrats are fully willing to destroy any institution, demolish any tradition and tear down any obstacle to achieve and hold political power. They have transformed universities into leftist training centers, mass media, Hollywood and social media into Democratic propaganda tools and corporate America into the thought-enforcers of liberal dogma. On the other side of the aisle, Republican leaders spent their time in the majority by handwringing over how to get major media to stop talking bad about them, or how to show everyone they are gracious winners by sharing power with Democrats. They did this by honoring the traditions and checks and balances that ensure minority party representation. It never worked. No matter how much Republican leaders, including President Trump, sought common ground with Democrats, they were portrayed as villainous totalitarians.
