[Baltimore Sun] Don’t ignore Republican attacks on the U.S. Constitution | READER COMMENTARY
Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second
In his recent commentary (“A dangerous political philosophy is on the ballot in November,” Oct. 10), Michael J. Onisick seems to have a few memory lapses. He decries the anti-constitutional agenda of the Democrats but conveniently forgets the true attack of our Constitution, namely, the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection fueled by Donald Trump. Even then-Vice President Mike Pence has acknowledged that this was a direct attack on the U.S. Constitution and a peaceful transition of power.
The writer claims that our justice system is being corrupted and bankrolled by George Soros, but he ignores the hundreds of millions of dollars of dark money from right-wing corporations and foundations that are being used by conservatives to take over the judiciary and capture America’s courts. Massive support for the conservative Federalist Society was, in large part, responsible for allowing Trump to remake the balance of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Onisick should also be reminded that the Founding Fathers’ intent in providing for the separation of church and state was to not only provide for freedom of religion, but also freedom from religion. There is legitimate concern that Project 2025 led by two former Trump administration officials working on behalf of the right-wing Heritage Foundation could be used as a blueprint to remake the United States into a so-called Christian nation.
