Since November 9, 2016, the day after Trump was elected, the leftists who now make up the American Democrat party have been in a nonstop tizzy. They have proven incapable of accepting that they lost at the ballot box and have used every underhanded and lunatic tactic available to evict Trump from the White House. For many of these initiatives, they've had the Supreme Court helping them out. That will end when Amy Coney Barrett joins the Court. Her presence creates a conservative majority that will be an insurmountable barrier to leftists' more overreaching demands
I already wrote about
Vox's Ezra Klein saying leftists need to do away with the filibuster to get any legislation passed. That is an open admission that slightly less than half the country does not approve of what the hard-left Democrat party wants to do. Passing legislation that almost half the country deeply opposes is a recipe for disaster. That's why we have a filibuster, for it gets a majority of the country — through their representatives — on board with big (and even little) changes.
Now The Hill, which is ostensibly a more centrist publication than Vox (it isn't really, but that's its reputation), is admitting that if Biden wins, and the Democrats take the Senate, Amy Coney Barrett is a problem:
The Supreme Court is looming as a roadblock for Democrats as they plot an ambitious wish list if they gain control of the White House and Congress for the first time in a decade.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett's ascension to the Supreme Court, which Republicans hope to finalize this month, would lock in a conservative majority likely for decades, setting the courts up as a potential foil for Democratic presidential nominee
Joe Biden's agenda and Democratic leadership in the House and Senate.
