No Downside To the Filibuster At All? Children Are Not Adults

four extra senators there in the count, and make us (Republicans) a permanent minority.” Johnson added, “You would see massive re- strictions of the 2nd Amendment, second amendment rights, you would see them (De- mocrats) federalize elections, so they could take over and manipulate things in the red states. There are a lot of abuses that could come.” So, the Democrats in power could do all that, Johnson? You are saying Republicans, the Supreme Court and the Constitution would be powerless to stop them? Really? If the only re- strain of one-party oligarchy is the filibuster, then our constitutional republic is already dead. If leftists truly believe children have such sound judgment, then would they support, say, a fourteen-year- old serving as chairman of the Dem- ocratic National Committee? Why not, leftists? You said children are emotionally stronger and smarter than we adults give them credit for. We do not allow children to en- gage in activities such as voting, driving, taking out a loan, buying a home, drinking alcohol, signing con- tracts, skipping school, or opening a bank account. Yet, leftists are fine with allowing children to mutilate their bodies in the name of “sup- porting and nurturing their feelings.” Republicans are assuming that if they keep the filibuster while they are in power, Democrats in the majority will too. That is wishful thinking. The restrain We the People will have on any Democrat Senate majority – besides holding both parties to voting on only what the Constitution allows going forward and voting into office Constitutional alternatives – is that Democrats in power always, always go too far, promoting radical, communistic legislation for things most Americans will never support (transgenders in women’s locker rooms and sports, voting rights for il- legal immigrants, federal investigations into and arrests of angry parents at school board meetings and other political opponents, universal basic income, etc.) and within a few years, Americans vote them right back out of power. The Constitution allows for both House and Senate to choose their own rules. I am not debating that. As I have asked before: 1) What good does it do to give the Republicans the numerical majority in the Senate if they are going to keep the filibuster? 2) Why did Senators revoke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, reverting to a simple majority vote in the Senate to confirm them, if need- ing sixty voters is such a good thing? Could it be that both parties knew that if they kept a sixty-vote majority, they would never get their nomi- nees approved for the high court (i.e. – could not get things done)? So, apparently, the filibuster is “badly needed” to check the majority party, except when it comes to Supreme Court nominees? who should educate and raise children and how best to do it. He understood that, for the state to gain control over the children Also, with the filibuster, elected Republican senators in power not As a society, we have decided that children lack the emotional and mental development required for certain activities and deci- sions. Loving parents discipline their children. For example, God admonishes us to, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 KJV. By restricting children’s activities and making numerous decisions on their behalf, we aim to protect them from harm and legal trou- ble. Children are still travelling down the road of experience, that mature adults have already been on. The right side of the political spectrum says let children have their innocence; they will be adults for most of their lives. Why are leftists so desperate to sexualize children, to speed them through their childhood, to expose them to drag queen story times, infinite genders, and every adult vice as quickly as possi- ble? To define deviancy down, to replace moral absolutes with moral relativism, of course. Leftists want to break children away from parental influence so that they can train children up in the way they want them to go. Godless communist, Vladimir Lenin, shared his philosophy on
getting reforms passed can now can say to angry voters, “Well, we couldn’t get enough Democrats to help us pass this legislation in the Senate. We couldn’t get sixty votes. What do you expect us to do?” How convenient. Think back, friends. Did you hear any GOP senate candidate in past Senate races in your states saying to voters at campaign stops, “And remember this November, my friends, it’s not enough to get us Republicans a simple majority. You must turn out at the polls to get our party a filibuster-proof majority?” wrong are losing custody of their children for not accepting their chil- dren’s preferred pronouns and for resisting their confused desire to No, Republicans will never say that while campaigning because they will come across and have them defend and obey the state in their adulthoods, he and his supporters would have to dilute the family unit and prevent parents from bonding with their children. Among other quotes about children, Lenin said, “Give me a child for the first five years of his life, and he will be mine forever.” Parents who know right from
By Andrew Zuelke, State Chairman Constitution Party of Wisconsin Year-End 2025 As of this writing, we are into the longest government “shutdown” in his- tory. The good news is the shutdown is exposing the evils of government-funded welfare and how many people could work but refuse to. Welfare, intended to be temporary and for those physically and mentally disabled, has been abused by January 2026 Yes, this title is common sense to most people, unless you identify as a “progressive” (aka leftists and/or Democrats). In an article by Landon Mion, “A group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a declaration that aims to restrict gender transition procedures for minors. “The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, its secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and its inspector general comes after the declaration issued last week described procedures such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gen- der transition surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children ex- periencing gender dysphoria. the able-bodied for decades in levels we can scarcely afford. I long knew there are dependent Americans who actually feel entitled to other peo- ple’s money, but the levels of entitlement shocked even me. One SNAP recipient actually said online, “It is the responsibility of taxpayers to feed my kids.” People online have said if they do not get their food stamps, they will just steal food from the stores…or people. I don’t doubt they will. This is the expected outcome of government-funded charity and the destruction of the work ethic and self-reliance it causes. This shutdown will hopefully force massive entitlement reform, more so than we saw in the 1990s. This shutdown also reveals that our federal government is involved in way more than it should be, judging by how many things we are being told are not being funded now. “The move seeks to build on President Donald Trump’s exec- utive order in January calling on HHS to protect children from 'chemical and surgical mutilation.’” Senators say the filibuster is necessary, that it forces the two parties to work together in the Senate to get sixty votes. Of course, if both De- mocrats and Republicans had been obeying the written (enumerated) US Constitution all these decades, it would not matter which party was in the majority because they could only vote on certain things allowed by the Article 1: Section 8. Recently, House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked about President Trump’s call to use the “nuclear option” to get rid of the filibuster. John- son said that the GOP has traditionally seen the filibuster as a safeguard. GOP Senators said it “holds us back from the Democrat’s worst im- pulses.” Johnson asked, “What would Democrats do if they had no fili- buster impediment, no speed bump at all? They’ve already told us. They would pack the Supreme Court, go from nine to thirteen or fifteen or sev- enteen or however many liberals they could pack on the Court. You would have D.C. or Puerto Rico be made into states, which would give Leftists pushing transgenderism also argue that children are ready and able to make decisions about their medical care, claim- ing they should be trusted with such choices and that politicians and right-wing traditional groups should butt out. “The declaration also warned doctors that they could be ex- cluded from federal health programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, if they provide these treatments to minors. The Constitution Party of Wisconsin commends and thanks President Trump and his administration for taking action to pro- tect this and future generations of children. Adult transgender activists online cry that trans-kids are being denied the right to make their own medical decisions. Yes, transgender activists, you said it: trans-kids. Kids. Not adults. Big difference.
as ungrateful and demanding. Instead, you heard GOP candidates say, “Help us take the Senate back from the Democrats (meaning a simple majority vote).” Speaker Johnson said, “They (Democrats) keep saying Republicans are in charge of the government. We aren’t. Not in the Senate. Sixty votes control the senate, not a bare majority.” Johnson and other Re- publicans place the burden of getting a filibuster proof majority on con- servative and independent voters who already gave the GOP majority control of the House, Senate, and White House simultaneously over the years. This is why leftists want early childhood programs like pre- Kindergarten (basically, taxpayer-funded day care), and why they oppose school choice and alternatives to public schools. Leftists mostly control the state-run public schools they want your chil- dren in for eight hours a day (or longer) so your children bond with state/school officials and then grow up to be compliant global citizens who will resist any attempt to privatize or defund public schools. I’ve heard Democrats out of power say that we cannot allow the tyranny of the majority to oppress the minority. They have no problem with using the filibuster and their few votes as the minority to prevent the majority – and the will of the electorate – from getting things done. Democrats in power also decry any Republican Senate minority when they use the filibuster, saying, “The voters spoke very clearly last No- vember. We won. Our government and the will of the electorate is being thwarted by a vocal minority of alt-right extremist Senators. Democracy is on the line because of Republican selfishness and authoritarianism.” Filibuster defenders make it sound as though there are only upsides to the filibuster, never any downsides. They fail to mention the filibuster also gives the minority party veto power over their majority, such as the recent prevention of a continuing resolution from being passed in the Senate. So, Republicans, are you saying to the voters who helped you retake the Senate that needing sixty voters, not just a 50+1 majority, to get things done is not a downside to the filibuster? ConstitutionPartyOfWisconsin.com (608) 561-7996 have gender transition procedures (also called “gender-affirming care,” including chemical castration and unnecessary surgeries). Last year, a Texas father lost his years-long fight in the court of a leftist Constitutionally-illiterate judge. The father was seeking to stop his amoral and twisted ex-wife from permitting their pre- teen son, who falsely believes “he” is a “she,” from undertaking gender transition procedures. Make no mistake, leftists have declared war on the traditional family because it is a threat to their plans to fundamentally trans- form America. Protecting our children from life-altering proce- dures and medications is a war our side must win if America is to stave off God’s judgment upon us. With national repentance to Him and praying without ceasing, we will win. ConstitutionPartyOfWisconsin.com (608) 561-7996
