America’s institutions have weathered many storms since our nation’s founding. From the Civil War to civil rights, from World Wars to the Cold Wars, our system of government has remained remarkably stable through it all.
But lately, something different is happening. Progressive forces aren’t just challenging policies anymore – they’re going after the very foundations of our republic. The same people who want to tear down statues are now setting their sights on dismantling our institutions from within.
And if you thought the assault on American traditions couldn’t get any more brazen, you might want to sit down for this one. The latest target? The very institution that safeguards our constitutional rights: the Supreme Court itself.
Enter Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who’s leading a bold counter-offensive against what he calls a “direct assault on the design of our Constitution.” Cruz, joined by 15 Republican co-sponsors, has reintroduced a constitutional amendment aimed at protecting the Supreme Court’s traditional nine-justice structure.
From Fox News:
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-TX, is reintroducing a constitutional amendment to cap the number of Supreme Court Justices at nine, amid calls to expand the court…
“Democrats are seeking to use the Court to advance policy goals they can’t accomplish electorally,” Cruz said in a statement. “Such a move would be a direct assault on the design of our Constitution, which is designed to ensure the Supreme Court remains a non-partisan guardian of the rule of law.”
The Progressive Push to Reshape America’s Highest Court
The timing couldn’t be more critical. Former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed the Left’s hand during a CNN town hall, entertaining the idea of expanding the court to 12 justices. This wasn’t just idle speculation – it’s part of a coordinated progressive strategy to reshape America’s judiciary.
Representative Ilhan Omar didn’t even try to hide the agenda, declaring, “We need to radically reform the broken Supreme Court.” Remember when Democrats called conservatives “conspiracy theorists” for warning about court-packing? Apparently, it wasn’t so far-fetched after all.
Cruz’s Constitutional Shield
Senator Chuck Grassley, one of the amendment’s co-sponsors, didn’t mince words: “Democrats’ radical court packing scheme would erase the legitimacy of the Supreme Court and destroy historic precedent.”
This comes after progressives’ repeated attempts to expand the Court to 13 justices – a transparent power grab aimed at neutralizing the current conservative majority.
That majority, by the way, has consistently upheld constitutional principles on everything from religious liberty to Second Amendment rights. No wonder the Left is so desperate to change the rules of the game.
Preserving Our Judicial Heritage
The nine-justice Supreme Court structure isn’t just tradition – it’s been a cornerstone of American jurisprudence since 1869. It’s survived attempts to pack the court during the New Deal era and has maintained its integrity through decades of political turbulence.
Now, as progressive forces gather for their latest assault on American traditions, Cruz’s amendment stands as a constitutional firewall. It’s not just about numbers – it’s about preserving the independent judiciary our Founding Fathers envisioned.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. As the Left continues its march through America’s institutions, the Supreme Court remains one of the last bastions of constitutional fidelity.
Cruz’s amendment isn’t just about protecting nine seats – it’s about protecting the very foundation of our constitutional republic.
Patriots, take note: This is what defending American institutions looks like. The question now is whether enough Americans will stand up to preserve them.
