The ramifications of the Trump Court's anticipated action --
Abortion would immediately become illegal in at least 13 states if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, and more would likely follow suit quickly

Watch Republicans and their allies in the media focus on the leak, not the opinion --
Republican scumbags are talking about the leak because they won’t want people talking about how they just made women second class citizens.

Expanding the Supreme Court (or passing a federal law to protect abortion rights nationally) would require abolishing the filibuster first, since there are not 60 Senate votes (meaning 10 Republicans) to do it. Abolishing the filibuster cannot be done right now because Manchin and Sinema continue to oppose it. Unless Mystal can suggest a way of changing their minds, these things cannot actually be done until after the next election, and then only if the Senate majority is expanded to at least 52-48 (possible) and the House majority is preserved (very unlikely).
ReplyDeleteI wish people who pontificate about how the Democrats should do this or that had a basic understanding of how the government works. Are the schools not teaching civics any more?
The delusional theory is Collins and Murkowski are actually derates who having been lied to by Boofer and Amy Coathanger are upset and will offset The Chin and Sillyma.
DeleteThe schools generally do not teach civics anymore.
ReplyDeleteInfidel -- Mystal certainly knows this. He should be taken seriously, not literally here.
ReplyDeleteMart -- you're sadly correct.
