Kamala Harris is making one of the most dangerous proclamations in modern American politics, and she’s not even trying to hide it. On Tuesday, Harris openly called for killing the filibuster—not just for some minor issue, but specifically to pass legislation that would reinstate Roe v. Wade.
Her reasoning? To ensure what she calls “reproductive freedom.” But what she’s really aiming for is far more radical than that. If Harris gets her way, she won’t just be killing the filibuster for Roe; she’ll be gutting one of the last safeguards that prevents any one party from running roughshod over the entire legislative process.
“I’ve been very clear. I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do,” Kamala said.
Let’s break this down for a minute. The filibuster is the 60-vote threshold in the Senate that stops controversial legislation from passing without broad support. It forces bipartisanship—or at least enough cooperation to prevent the Senate from becoming a rubber stamp for whatever agenda the majority party wants to push. And now, Harris is saying she wants to ditch it to pass abortion legislation. But once it’s gone, do you think it’ll stop there? No way.
The moment the filibuster is dead, Democrats will go for the rest of their wishlist, starting with packing the Supreme Court. They’ll throw in statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, adding four Democratic senators and shifting the balance of power permanently in their favor. After that? Who knows. Maybe they’ll go after the Second Amendment, federalize elections, or push through sweeping climate regulations like the Green New Deal. With the filibuster gone, there will be nothing standing in their way.
This isn’t the first time Democrats have flirted with the idea, either. They’ve danced around killing the filibuster for years, especially when they couldn’t get their way. Back in 2013, they nixed it for judicial nominees, thinking they’d stack the courts with their picks. How’d that turn out? Well, fast forward to Mitch McConnell using that same rule change to confirm a record number of conservative judges, including three Supreme Court justices.
The irony is rich, but the stakes now are even higher. If Democrats get their way and eliminate the filibuster entirely, it’ll be the end of any semblance of balance in Washington. The Senate will no longer be the place where big issues are debated and compromised. It’ll just be a rubber stamp for whichever party controls the majority, turning America into something that looks more like a European parliamentary system, where policies swing wildly depending on who’s in power.
And make no mistake, this has been the Democratic playbook for over a century. Woodrow Wilson himself bemoaned the Constitution as a barrier to progress, calling for a stronger, centralized government to bulldoze through the checks and balances our Founders put in place. Kamala Harris is just the latest in a long line of progressives pushing that same agenda, but the consequences are more dangerous than ever.
The bottom line? This isn’t just about abortion. It’s about fundamentally altering how the government works in favor of permanent Democratic dominance. And if they succeed, there’s no turning back.
To top it off, Kamala recently gave a speech at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, and as usual, it didn’t go well.
