Pelosi vows Clinton will reshape America
// Personal Liberty Digest™
Immigration, the Supreme Court, gun laws and the nation's institutions are all in for major changes if Hillary Clinton makes it to the White House, according to Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi made the promise last week, just before the Democrats officially nominated Clinton as their candidate for president.
"We know what is on the line in what truly is the most important election of our lifetime: for the future of the Supreme Court, for the fate of a planet imperiled by climate change, for the sake of immigration reform, for the promise of an America that rewards hard work instead of those who exploit America's workers, for women's reproductive rights, equal rights, civil rights, and to do what is right for our service members, veterans and military families who have given so much for our country," said Pelosi.
Back in May, Hoover Institution senior fellow Alvin Rabushka did a pretty thorough job of warning the nation what a Clinton transformation of America could mean.
He wrote that in addition to giving liberals run over the Constitution, Clinton could use the bully pulpit to:
Weaken the First Amendment. Reduce free speech by restricting conservative talk radio and other conservative expression. Increase the scope of content designated "hate" speech, subject to federal prosecution. Limit religious freedom by requiring all religious organizations to abide by the rules of federal programs.
Weaken, preferably eliminate, the Second Amendment. Reduce gun ownership by banning specific guns. Instruct the attorney general to litigate existing gun laws and reverse previous court decisions to reduce and eliminate private ownership of guns.
Issue executive orders to bypass Congress and impose federal regulations by decree. The potential range of measures is described in the 31 issues listed on Clinton's campaign website. Her potential use of executive orders, perhaps even more than President Barack Obama, would further lift the United States off its constitutional moorings.
Appoint an Internal Revenue Service commissioner who will increase audits of conservative individuals (and others on her enemies list) and all other conservative-oriented organizations.
Appoint a Securities and Exchange Commission head to harass wealthy Republican donors.
Vitiate what remains of the Ninth and 10th amendments by shifting existing state powers to the federal government, further concentrating federal authority over the states.
Erode private property rights by imposing more restrictions on its development and usage.
"Her ability to remake America is limited only by her imagination and those of her supporters," he added.
Yikes.
