So we see them putting themselves in a position, once again, as the ultimate authority that can tell us what is true and what is false because they say it is so.
that is more powerful and knows better than what our founders laid out for us in the Constitution.
For example, Kamala Harris, there's Article 6 of the Constitution talks about how there shall be no religious test for anyone serving in public office in our country.
As a senator in the Judiciary Committee, she launched accusations against and opposed judicial nominees by President Trump simply because of their faith.
This Judge Brian Boucher, for example, he was nominated not for the Supreme Court, it was some other federal circuit court judge, I believe, because he was Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus.
Kamala Harris and our senator from Hawaii, Mazie Hirono, were launching accusations at him for his faith and asking him, will you give up your membership in the Knights of Columbus if you are allowed to serve as a judge?
Completely defying the Constitution.
I could goβthere's too many examples, but ultimately what does it come down to?
It comes down to power.
They care more about power and whether it is those who know exactly what they are doing and the ends justify the means because they believe they alone know what is best for us and they really do at their heart of hearts hate this country and what it stands for or it's those who are sheep following along
The end result is the same.
Both groups of these people are people who swore an oath to the Constitution like you and I did and who are defying and breaking that promise in the oath that they swore and the promise that they made to those who voted for them to serve in office.
It is a very cozy relationship.
You make friends.
You run in the same social circles.
There are lobbyists.
There are retreats that either members of Congress or political parties host, and lobbyists are very much a part of that.
You know, I...
And I'm sure that in some cases they, oh, actually, I know for sure in some cases they make direct threats that if you vote a certain way, there was someone I knew in Congress that was going to run an ad in their political campaign that was calling for negotiating lower prescription drug prices for Medicare to help seniors who couldn't afford it and a couple other things.
Again, common sense reforms that would actually help people and perhaps, I wouldn't even say hurt Big Pharma because they make so much money, but it might reduce a little bit of the profits that they make.
