What on earth would make a professional politician like Chuck Schumer force not one, but two doomed votes on the Senate floor in a single month? One of them a radical, left-wing, affront to our very democracy, our state’s elections upon which our republic stands? Quite simply, thirst for power, or more specifically, the retention of power. Chuck Schumer will be 72 years old this year, well past retirement age for most Americans, and has been in politics 46 years, 5 years in the New York State Assembly, 18 years in the House of Representatives, and now 23 years in the U.S. Senate, which exceeds the median age of all Americans by almost a full decade.
Why on earth would this gentile senior citizen professional statesman push these bad votes? Because he hears the footsteps of a faux-populist social media sensation from Westchester County coming up behind him and he never wants to leave office. If congressional term limits had not been illegitimately ripped from the hands of the states in a ruling Clarence Thomas, the smartest Supreme Court Justice alive today, is practically begging someone to reopen, Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, Clyburn, Nadler, Biden and every other hollowed out politician in Washington would have already been sent home. Instead, they remain in Washington, clinging to their empires like Habsburgs at the turn of the 20th century and we all saw how well that turned out.
