Lawless Democrat Regime and their Cheating Leader Harry Reid Steal Minority Rights

More lawlessness by the Democrat Regime. Senate majority leader Harry Reid, is threatening to change the filibuster rule and other Senate rules without proper process.

 

Changing the Senate rules requires 67 votes. There is insufficient support to change the Senate rule regarding filibuster; 67 votes can't be found in favor of the change.

 

But Reid conceived a scheme to circumvent the Senate rules that violates over two centuries of precedent and eviscerates the rights of the minority party by changing the basic rules of the Senate with only 51 votes.

 

This could have far-reaching and devastating results. For instance, if push comes to shove, President Obama might attempt to appoint more than 9 justices to the Supreme Court (no number is specified in the Constitution). Why would this not be a possibility? FDR threatened to do so. Clearly the Democrat Party has no respect for tradition. What if he is successful? What would Republicans do once they get the White House? Could we end up with 15 or 17 Supreme Court Justices? More?

 

Tell your Senators to vote NO on Senate Resolution 10, and any other attempts to weaken the filibuster and the other rules protecting the rights of the minority party. Please do whatever else you can do to stop this theft of minority-party rights.

 

God save the Republic.

This exerpt explains why Republicans in the senate became the party of NO. Reid used his power in the senate like a Despot. I believe he will be considered to be a scourge to our democratic system. Senator Reid is without ethics. He is what is wrong with our government.

 

 

"We’ve all heard the complaint: Republicans are the "Party of No." But the GOP’s historic number of filibusters is the only viable response to Sen. Harry Reid’s unprecedentedly authoritarian rule of the Senate. Senator Reid has blocked the minority from amending bills more than any Senate majority leader in history — and more times than the last four Senate majority leaders combined.

 

How does Senator Reid do this? He uses his right to be recognized first by the chair to offer just enough amendments to bills to block any further amendments.

These amendments are usually meaningless, like changing a word or a date, but they effectively block the minority’s opportunity. This is a clear abuse of the spirit, if not the letter, of the Senate’s rules, and that is one reason why we have witnessed Republicans’ frequent use of the filibuster.

Thank you for your support!
