Harris and the Democrats are waging all-out war on constitutional order

Though Democrats are endlessly prattling on about “norms” and “democracy,” it is often unclear what aspects of the constitutional order they actually support.This week, for example, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated her support for suspending the legislative filibuster so that Democrats, should they eke out a slim Senate majority, can overturn thousands of state laws and force the entire country to legalize taxpayer-subsidized, late-term abortions on demand.It is, of course, true that the filibuster isn’t in the Constitution.In many ways, however, it is one of the last remaining tools upholding a semblance of constitutional order.Yet to most contemporary Democrats, the 60-vote threshold to cut off debate is an antiquated tool that facilitates “minority rule” — by which they mean “federalism.”Which makes sense: Democrats are keen on empowering narrow, fleeting left-wing majorities to cram through wide-ranging generational “reform” bills without any consensus.They know well that once a massive entitlement or regulatory program is passed, it will be virtually impossible to roll back.You don’t need to be a constitutional scholar to understand there’s no version of the founding that envisioned this kind of governance.Imagine, if you can, what the world would look like if former President Donald Trump announced he was going to blow up the filibuster using a one-vote Senate majority and then cram through a national limit on abortion.Republicans would be accused of acting like fascistic ghouls, and the media would have a thermonuclear meltdown.

It would be 1939 Germany all over again.Democrats play Calvinball on an all-star level.Worse, Democrats have targeted virtually every institution that makes “democracy” tenable in a truly diverse and sprawling nation that is home to hundreds of millions of people.Because if forcing red states to adopt maximalist abortion laws is important enough to sink long-standing checks on federal power, you...
