Vice President Kamala Harris has made headlines once again by advocating for the dismantling of the filibuster in a bold move that has raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Her aim? To pave the way for legislation that her fellow pro-abortion Democrats claim would “codify” Roe v. Wade. However, the reality is a bit darker—this legislation would expand abortion rights, allowing for unrestricted access up until birth in all 50 states. It’s like a politically correct ‘give me liberty or give me death’ scenario but with fewer trappings of liberty and a lot more baby-killing.
This recent push from Harris isn’t exactly breaking news in the realm of Democrat ambitions. It comes as no shock that pro-choice proponents are willing to sacrifice Senate traditions on the altar of convenience. Following her vociferous declaration during a chat with Wisconsin Public Radio, a chorus of Democrats began to echo her sentiments, signaling that the filibuster could soon become a relic of the past if the left gets its way. Yet, some seasoned Democrats, like Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, have stood firm in their support of the filibuster, possibly recognizing the chaos that could unfold if Harris-led progressives are let loose.
Even some of the Dum's are defecting over this.
How bad will the voter fraud be this time?
If Harris Can ‘Eliminate The Filibuster For Roe,’ She Can Nuke It For Fracking Bans And Gun Control Toohttps://t.co/utNb42gAZu pic.twitter.com/2d2140Jet3

Interestingly, the filibuster’s critics seem undeterred by the political bombshells around them, including threats to democratic institutions and traditional values. Case in point: Sen. Bob Casey Jr. from Pennsylvania, once considered a pro-life Democrat but now fully bought into the radical wish list set forth by Harris. His inability to stand against the tide of extremism demonstrates a worrying trend among Democrats willing to renounce their origins in pursuit of party unity—at least until the next primary. Casey’s endorsement of the filibuster elimination clearly elevates party allegiance over principle, and it raises questions about his viability in an upcoming race against Republican candidate Dave McCormick.
As the 2024 elections approach, this power play isn’t happening in a vacuum; it has the potential to swing Pennsylvania—a cornerstone state—in favor of the GOP. McCormick has been vocal about the consequences of nuking the filibuster and the extreme leftist agenda it would enable. He has pointed out for months that the filibuster serves to protect the nation from the transitory enthusiasms of the moment. Without it, radical proposals—including abortion expansion, D.C. statehood, and a Green New Deal—could all sail through without proper debate or objection.
Democrats often paint their agenda as the progressive evolution of American values, but that narrative falls flat when scrutinized under the lens of liberty and constitutional preservation. Senators like Ted Cruz have sounded alarms about what Harris and her cohorts are cooking up. Cruz highlights that the elimination of the filibuster isn’t just a procedural change; it’s a full-scale assault on democracy that could lead to a single-party rule—a nightmarish scenario reminiscent of failed socialist states like Venezuela.
At the end of the day, Harris’s push is not just about abortion; it’s a complete overhaul of the Senate that would hand unchecked power to radical Democrats. If they have their way, the filibuster will crumble, leaving conservatives scrambling in a world vastly altered by a liberalized agenda. The stakes are real, and so are the consequences—it’s a frightening prospect for any patriot who values both life and the foundational principles of American governance.
