Democrats Just Published Their Takeover Plan — and Republicans Had Better Wake Up

Step two: pack the Supreme Court. This one is the most important and the least discussed. The left learned a painful lesson over the last decade — that a constitutionalist Supreme Court majority is an immovable obstacle to their agenda. They can pass whatever they want through Congress, and a 6-3 conservative court will strike it down. So the solution, in their minds, is simple: add four or five new justices, confirm them on a party-line vote with the filibuster already dead, and transform the nation’s highest court from a constitutional check into a rubber stamp for progressive legislation. Court packing is not a hypothetical. It is the explicit, documented goal of the caucuses that just put this resolution forward.

Step three: add new states. Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. statehood aren’t just about representation — they’re about four guaranteed Democratic Senate seats that would give the left a structural majority that demographics and voter trends alone might not deliver. Combined with packed courts and federalized elections, this creates a lock on power so complete that winning it back through normal democratic processes becomes nearly impossible.

Chris Murphy accidentally told the truth last week when he admitted on a podcast that his party views the filibuster as an obstacle to their “core economic ideas” and fully intends to eliminate or reform it the moment they’re back in power. Murphy tried to dress it up in moderate language about compromise and reform, but the resolution his colleagues just published stripped away the pretense. There is no moderate wing of the Democratic Party anymore. There is only the question of how fast the radicals move once they hold the levers.
