Ted Cruz Gets It; GOP must think like counter revolutionaries

 

Senator Ted Cruz articulated the most important of the many reasons the GOP must confirm the next Supreme Court nominee, and must do  so almost immediately.  Democrats are no longer normal participants in a pluralistic  democratic political system; they have become utterly committed to communist revolution. Democrat thought leaders are calling for violence. Democrats are again  employing mob intimidation at Mitch McConnell's home. Senator Cruz's recognition of the historical moment bespeaks great historical insight on his part.

Senator Cruz's argument is predicated on the need for Republicans to operate as a counter revolutionary party.  Republicans, traditionalists and libertarians have no future in a Democrat America.  The suppression of dissenting thought and the termination of political pluralism are essential elements of the Democrat agenda.

Where does this radical Democrat change leave the GOP?  To counter a communist revolution, the current GOP must embrace the power the Constitution affords us without regard to the conventions of unity and comity.  Unity, comity and respect for tradition are not part of the revolutionary environment of our times.  Historical change demands the GOP use the political power we legally possess. If not, the GOP will become extinct with Darwinian certainty.

As Senator Cruz argues, the  Democrat electoral strategy involves litigating Democrats into absolute power.  Democrats have assembled an army, literally thousands of lawyers to litigate bizarre and frivolous legal theories.  Democrats plan to use courts to  bypass organized elections upon which democracy depends for survival.  Of course, Democrats have already shopped venues,  unsurprisingly in traditional blue states benched by ideologically partisan judges.  Remember the Florida Supreme Court in 2000?  The Democrat 2020 strategy is 2000 Florida for the entire country.  Since Democrats have chosen a strategy of litigating in lieu of electing, Republicans have an absolute moral duty to counter the revolution by embracing and deploying the powers the people's vote and the Constitution have given us.   

The President will nominate a solidly conservative jurist.  The GOP controls the Senate.  We have the authority and power to quickly confirm the President's nominee.  We now know at least one Senator gets this dynamic and the historical imperative confronting the GOP Senate.  Let's hope 49 more Senators share Senator Cruz's clarity.
