Freemason Harry Reid’s Nuclear Option
Now precedent has been set. Freemason Harry Reid, managed to get through the Senate a “Nuclear Option” that overrides the Senate rules that a 60/40 majority vote is required to end a filibuster and/or to pass/block a president’s nomination to lower courts, as in this case.
Wrongfully, some (especially those looking to use this occasion to bilk people out of money) are saying that the passage of this simple majority rule in the Senate applies to everything. It doesn’t but it could very easily. In this case, that is if you want to believe what we are being told, this nuclear option applies only to getting lower court, presidential nominees confirmed while making it easier to block a filibuster and or just to obtain a simple majority to get the job done.
It’s the precedent that has been set that concerns me. On issues like amending or by-passing the Constitution and/or Bill of Rights, what will become of that? Imagine a simple majority to destroy the Second Amendment. And, yet again, imagine a simple majority to ratify a treaty: say an arms control UN treaty. I’ve said it will happen and this appears to be one step closer to that.
After passage of the nuclear option, Obama made reference to his attempts at gun control and how filibustering and not having a super majority vote prevented it. One would be remiss to think for a second that this move will not play nicely into the hands of tyrants on gun control and all other rights and freedoms.
The mistake many are making here is that they think this is a Harry Reid issue. It’s not. It’s a planned event, necessary for the ruling class to achieve what they want while hiding behind the charade of the nuclear option and the two-party, fake political system. It has been planned for a long time to destroy the so-called “rules” of the Senate and Congress and this move finally begins that destruction.
Precedent has been set and now we can look for implementation of the nuclear option for many things. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is republican vs. democrats. The ruling class, which involves members of both, in it together and in it to win it, are pulling the wool over our eyes. This was planned.
What happens next?
