Dems: YOU CAN'T ABOLISH USPS IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION; Also Dems: ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

So, none of these are my points, but they're floating around:
   The Postal Clause (Article 1, section 8) gives Congress the power to establish post offices and post roads. But it doesn't mandate them.
   Consistency ad hominem: some Dems are freaking out about the idea of abolishing USPS...but also on the war path to eliminate the EC.
   You can't abolish USPS...it's in the Constitution!
   The EC, however...
   I don't have much of a view about the USPS, other than that the burden of proof is squarely on those who want to abolish it. I'm skeptical...but some things are going to have to go if we're going to avoid a debt catastrophe.
   As for eliminating the EC: hard no.
   The Democrats are now pushing all of the following: packing/expanding SCOTUS, term limits for justices, abolishing the EC, abolishing the filibuster.
   Not to mention: repealing the Second Amendment.
   And, IMO: repealing the First Amendment--or at least eviscerating it--isn't far behind.
   If they were to get their preferred outcomes, they'd have a clear road to unchecked, near-revolutionary change that would be tantamount to the destruction of the U.S.
   And this isn't yet to mention de facto open borders, unchecked DEI and the rest of the radioactive stew of contemporary progressivism.
   Rapid, poorly-considered change is a blueprint for disaster. Conservatives are just right about that point.
