Federal election bills are anti-American

Why do the socialist communist Congressional members want to destroy our U.S. Constitution? This would have been done by the S1 bill in the U.S. Senate.
The House already passed its version, the HR 1 bill. S1 dictates to states how elections must be run by trampling on our First Amendment rights (freedom of religion and freedom of speech) thus leaving the fate of our republic up to electoral lawyers and lobbyists!
S1 strikes at the heart of separation of powers. It would allow Congress to create a commission to determine a code of conduct for judges of the U.S. Supreme Court. This is blatantly unconstitutional!
S1 would also make sure that the federal government eliminates civic engagement of the American public — seeking only the approval of the political elites in Washington. That’s why it is anti-American.
