ALERT: Democrats Consider Plan B That Would End American Elections As We Know Them

(Liberty Bell) – Democrats are desperately trying every strategy they can think of to federalize elections effectively bringing an end to our Republic as we know it.

Right when we thought we were safe thanks to Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV) and Krysten Sinema (AZ) refusal to support doing away with the filibuster the Democrats seem to have hatched yet another plan to forever change the US.

According to a report from The Hill, Democrats are now considering a new strategy in the hopes of passing their so-called “voting rights” package.

Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia told reporters that he and some colleagues are considering forcing Republicans to hold the Senate floor with arguments in hopes that they will grow tired and allow Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to call for a simple-majority vote.

“There are a couple of paths here,” Kaine said. “Do we go down the path and do a long debate until it’s done and then have a simple debate?”

“We wouldn’t need a rules change to pass the bill by simple majority if the debate is over. Theoretically, you do not need a rules change to pass a bill that’s on the floor, you just have to allow debate to occur.”

The Hill points out that Kaine is correct according to the strict definition of the rules. The 60-vote requirement is for the cloture vote to end debate but a simple majority could be used if the debate has been concluded.

This strategy, however, has not been used in decades and is unlikely to succeed as long as Senator Ted Cruz remains in the Senate. The Hill reports that Senate members have simply assumed the floor is “being tied up in debate when a controversial bill is pending.”

Senate procedure expert James Wallner said it would be possible for Democrats to pass the package with a simple majority by enforcing a strict definition of the Senate rules.

“The easiest way to get to final passage on this bill is to put it on the floor and have Vice President Kamala Harris or Majority Leader Schumer or any other senator start to make points of order against any senator who tries to speak more than twice,” Wallner said.

According to The Hill, Wallner was referring to Senate Rule XIX, which states that “no senator shall speak more than twice upon any one question in debate on the same legislative day without leave of the Senate.”

This rule has apparently not been enforced according to an anonymous Senate Democrat aide who seemed much less optimistic about the Democrats’ chances of passing the package with a simple majority.

“This requires a more aggressive presiding officer,” the aide said. “The parliamentarian is not going to advise the presiding officer, ‘Nobody seems to be seeking debate so bring the question.’ It will have to be affirmatively sought by the presiding officer.”

The aide also added that Republicans could pretty easily circumvent the two-speech rule by simply bringing up new motions to change the bills.

“The two-speech rule is hard to make work because you can always offer another amendment or bring up a new debate proposition and then get two more speeches out of that,” the aide said.

“And once again, the parliamentarian doesn’t look to enforce it again, so it would have to be the presiding officer causing the parliamentarian to do something they don’t traditionally do.”

Constantly offering amendments would allow Republicans to keep the debate going for weeks or longer resulting in an ongoing stalemate. That is the reason why the Senate adopted the practice of assuming a cloture vote is needed to avoid weeks of endless debating.

If Democrats employed this strategy it wouldn’t be the so-called “nuclear option” because there would be no changes to Senate rules. It would, however, have the same effect in that Democrats would be ignoring decades of precedent and passing major legislation with only 51 votes.

Democrats just can’t seem to come to terms with the fact that the vast majority of Americans just don’t support their massive overreach and radical agenda.

  1. So, tell me, InfraTards, why are you spying on me and everyone else? Are you paranoid schizophrenics, or do you have Munchausen’s Syndrome and just want to let me know that you are spying on me by constantly repeating things that I have said, or done, or written about in emails not addressed to you, so that when I tell people you hope that they will just think I’m crazy,  or are you sick retards, or are you sick perverted feaks, or are you serial criminal psychopathic thieves, or did the dogs eat your brains, or is it a combination of those?! 

    INFRATARDS! LOSERS!! PSYCHOS !!!

    What does someone have to do in order to free themselves from the InfraTard scumbags ?! Go into solitary confinement or die? What happens when the threats made by the InfraTards of solitary confinement in a prison or death are more appealing options than living in a world with the InfraTard destructive parasites roaming around freely, murdering, terrorizing, vandalizing, censoring, stealing, and destroying everyone and everything good and just? At that point they have lost all power over everyone.

    InfraTard scumbags threw a hissy fit because I wanted to outlaw 501c3s and fake charitible trusts that have destroyed the country and are fraud schemes. They have been attacking me like a school of piranhas. I am right they are wrong. The evidence proves it. Their opinions are just not worth enough to be considered charitible acts. They donate money to themselves and their relatives and pollute the airwaves and internet with their worthless, hackneyed opinions amd hair brained schemes like the fake pandemic and B.L.M. looting, arson, and vandalism financed by these behemoth fraudulent charitible trust foundations like The Ford Foundation, while denying pensions to their employees that they promised, or forcing their pension plans onto tax payers like US Steel did, which was owned by J.P. Morgan.

    Most people in congress have also started these fraudulent tax dodging schemes, while simultaneously raising our taxes and estate taxes,  and so have presidents and former InfraTard employees and other lazy, incompetent, worthless swine that are cheating their way through life by running fake charities. They are mentally incompetent megalomaniacs running the country into ruin. That is their plan, so that they can continue to profiteer off of the destruction of our lives and legitimate small and medium sized businesses and family farms. All that they ask for is everything, including our brains, our thoughts, our DNA, our histories, our property, our posessions, and all of our constitutional rights, and right to self-determination. They want to own everything and everyone one on earth, and make all decisions regarding everyone and everything on earth. It is all that they ask of us. What is not to hate about them? What is not resistible about them? The only things that they have mastered are being evil, corrupt, greedy, abusive, cowardly, selfish, dysfunctional, spineless, incompetent, destructive, parasitic, lazy, kleptocracic, terrorists, dictatorial, narcissistic, sadistic, insane, hedonistic, deceptive, partisan, manipulative, propagandists, and being  anti-American.
