Imagine if, at the conclusion of last year’s Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs urged the NFL to add a 5th quarter to the game. Even the most casual sports fan would understand that changing the rules mid-game undermines the integrity of the sport itself.
Senator Chuck Schumer, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other leftists are calling a complete overhaul of the constitution because they are not pleased by the outcome of several recent Supreme Court decisions. “Democrats can either abolish the filibuster and expand the court, or do nothing as millions’ of peoples bodies, rights, and lives are sacrificed for far right minority rule,” ranted AOC in a recent tweet storm. Packing the court is what intellectually dishonest politicians call for whenever they can’t convince most Americans to agree with them on policy.
The founding fathers created a system of checks and balances that protects all Americans from tyrannical, extremist rule. Schumer and AOC don’t care. For them, the advancement of leftist socialism justifies sacrificing the integrity of the United States Constitution.
