Chuck Darwin<p>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a crowd of lawmakers in Louisville, Kentucky, that a Harris administration would spell certain <a href="https://c.im/tags/doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doom</span></a> for the Republican Party. </p><p>“Let’s assume our worst nightmare—the Democrats went to the White House, the House, the Senate,” <br>McConnell said during his keynote speech at the National Conference of State Legislators Legislative Summit last week, according to Spectrum News. <br>“The first thing they’ll do is get rid of the [Senate] <a href="https://c.im/tags/filibuster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filibuster</span></a>. Second, you’ll have two <a href="https://c.im/tags/new" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>new</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/states" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>states</span></a>: D.C., Puerto Rico. That’s four new Democratic senators in perpetuity.”<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Puerto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Puerto</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rico</span></a> will vote on a nonbinding ballot measure in November to determine the territory’s future political status, <br>with voters being given three options, all of which would change its official status: <br>statehood, independence, or independence with free association. <br>It will be the seventh time that the island’s 3.2 million people vote to define their political relationship with the United States. <br>Harris has not yet taken an official stance on the vote.<br>McConnell insisted that next on the historically moderate Democrat’s agenda would be to place as many liberal justices on the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Supreme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Supreme</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Court" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Court</span></a> as possible, <br>noting that doing so would be “unconstitutional”<br>—while apparently ignoring the fact that that’s exactly what Donald Trump did to achieve SCOTUS’s current conservative supermajority.<br>“If they get those two new states and pack the Supreme Court, they’ll get what they want,” McConnell said.<br>Ultimately, McConnell believes that the Harris-Walz ticket “represents the far left of the Democratic Party.<br>“And by the way, that’s most Democrats today,” he added.<br><a href="https://newrepublic.com/post/184816/kamala-harris-tim-walz-supreme-court-filibuster-policy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newrepublic.com/post/184816/ka</span><span class="invisible">mala-harris-tim-walz-supreme-court-filibuster-policy</span></a></p>
