<\/p>\nRUSH: This is Steve in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Welcome, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, Rush. It\u2019s an honor to talk to you. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the borderline constitutional crisis that\u2019s going on up here in Pennsylvania with the congressional redistricting argument where now with the map that they have approved we\u2019re expected to lose five Republican House seats.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, because they\u2019re redrawing — yeah. By virtue of redrawing the map of districts, they\u2019re redrawing the districts so Republicans couldn\u2019t win in five of them, is what you mean, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Exactly. But the reason they\u2019re doing it, this map\u2019s been in existence since 2011. And the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania said it was unconstitutional and then told the House, the Pennsylvania state House, that they had to submit one in three weeks or the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania would do it for them, which they did, which is not in the state\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, naturally. That\u2019s what courts are there to do is take the place of the Constitution. They interpret the Constitution, they can make it up too.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, the problem here is, we got people that need to have signatures in to run for office in a week, and they don\u2019t even know which district they\u2019re gonna be running for.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. Look. I had a brief amount of time to familiarize myself with the story before the program began. And I\u2019m not fully up to speed on it, but I know enough to know, as you do, that this is all being done on purpose by people in power now to change the balance of power supposedly under the guise of the judicial system and legality. And it\u2019s for the express purpose of changing the balance in the congressional House delegation. It\u2019s being done for this reason. That\u2019s the only reason it\u2019s being done. It\u2019s in response to Trump, pure and simple.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s all driven by our wonderful Democratic Governor Wolf, who I hope is in his last few years of being in charge, but it\u2019s just crazy. I mean, they split my county, Lebanon County, which is a Republican county, the one that Wolf (unintelligible), split it in half, sent half of it to Philadelphia, and the other half to Harrisburg, which are both Democratic areas, to basically get rid of our Republican influence in the House. And that one got shot down, but the new one\u2019s not a whole lot better.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I saw the two maps. I saw the great differences in color after the Supreme Court\u2019s version was changed. Are they telling you that this is final, nothing more can be done?<\/p>\n
CALLER: The Republicans in the statehouse are going to challenge it. It\u2019s gonna go to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, we\u2019ll see what happens, then.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Wall Street Journal story on the re-gerrymandering in Pennsylvania says that it is four seats. The new map could flip at least four Republican-held seats. And even before the Supreme Court ruling on this rewriting the districts, the Democrats running in Pennsylvania have been promising this. They\u2019ve been promising to re-gerrymander the districts if they won, including a Democrat candidate running from special election next month.<\/p>\n
The other thing the Democrats and the media are stoking is that the NRA has endorsed a Republican candidate in the special election in Pennsylvania. So they\u2019re trying to destroy this guy by saying, “Yeah, he\u2019s the NRA\u2019s guy. He\u2019s the NRA\u2019s guy,” which is where these student protests come in very handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
