Our Democracy Is at Stake. Democrats Have to Act Like It.
Joe Biden didn’t mince words as Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump abuse and corrupt the Constitution in their rush to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat on the Supreme Court.
“The infection this president has unleashed on our democracy can be fatal. Enough. Enough. Enough.”
He has since added that expanding the Court is a legitimate question. Biden sees McConnell’s desire for total unitary executive, judiciary, and legislative control for what it is: A tyranny of extremism.
With McConnel and Trump, it’s minoritarian rule with a dollop of authoritarianism. If he ever did, McConnell no longer believes in deliberative democracy, debate, and decision-making. He’s made the United States Senate the world’s worst deliberative body, all but neutering the independence of senators and overriding any pretense of checks and balances.
