John Yoo on Democratic Socialist Platform
former clarence thomas clerk john yoo is calling out nearly every democrat for voting to pack the us supreme court and arguing they want to remove all structures of the constitution. he questions why there should be an electoral college, fifty states, or a hundred senators when the democratic socialist platform aims to eliminate these entirely. according to yoo, this approach would concentrate all power in one single house of representatives selected every two years. that move would destroy the genius of the founders who placed limits on democracy through specific term lengths: a house for two years, a senate every six years, a president every four years, and a supreme court independent of the other two branches. the core argument is that making everything subject to a direct democratic vote removes the permanent constitutional structures like a senate that can block the house.

really perfect. But what he's really revealing is that he and his friends in Congress, this Democratic Party that's being taken over by socialists, would actually like to make everything subject to Democratic vote and remove all the structures of the Constitution that we've made permanent. Why have an electoral college? Why have 50 senators, 50 states? Why have 100 senators? Why have a Senate that can block the House and isn't directly elected by the people? THESE ARE ALL IN THE CONSTITUTION, TOO. IF YOU READ THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST PLATFORM, THEY WANT TO GET RID OF ALL OF THAT AND CONCENTRATE ALL POWER IN ONE SINGLE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THAT SELECTED EVERY TWO YEARS. THAT WOULD ACTUALLY DESTROY THE GENIUS OF THE FOUNDERS WHICH WAS TO PLACE LIMITS ON DEMOCRACY AND HAVE HOUSE TWO YEARS, A SENATE EVERY SIX YEARS, A PRESIDENT EVERY FOUR YEARS AND A SUPREME COURT THAT'S INDEPENDENT OF THE OTHER TWO BRANCHES.
