There is a most interesting parallel between the presidential candidacy of Joe Biden and the passage of the infamous ObamaCare bill. As Nancy Pelosi so famously said about the ObamaCare bill: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
The man who claims to be the Democratic Party cannot tell us whether he wants to pack the Supreme Court or not. He would not answer the question in the first debate with Trump. He will not tell us whether he will encourage the Democrats to end the filibuster in the Senate so a simple majority can dictate any law it wants to the American people.
This is a critical issue. The Senate filibuster has long required that 60% of the Senators had to agree to create a new law, if 40% of the Senators were adamantly opposed to the bill. For those who lust for power over the people, this has been an irritating limit on their power. Obama has said the filibuster limit on government power has to be eliminated. Senator Coons of Delaware wants the filibuster rule changed too. The Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will only say that if the Democrats get a majority in the Senate, then anything they want is on the table. On this issue, AOC is at Schumer's side.
Just as many Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court, they also want to tip the scales among the states more in their favor by making the District of Columbia with its almost completely power-hungry government feed trough-eaters a state. They also want to give the extreme welfare-dependent Puerto Ricans the federal vote that comes with statehood. The more voters dependent upon a high-spending government for their very existence, the better for those of our betters who want to rule the unwashed, ignorant Deplorables.
Either Joe Biden wants to be a dictator who is not accountable to the American people as his claim of being the Democratic Party states and his refusal to answer basic questions about his use of power as President implies, or he is pawn of the extreme socialist wing of the Democratic Party trying to hide his role with a pretense of leadership over that party. No sane person could want such a person to rule over them.
Sounds so very familiar. They've done this before. "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it". No thanks, Joe. There would be no transparency in his administration.
