Yeah it is. It’ll inevitably become a tit-for-tat game with each side adding their partisans to the court every chance they get. It’ll make things worse than they are now and turn the court into an unelected legislature.Is it? I kind of feel like the Democrats should do something to counter the extremism of the GOP Taliban.
After all, Moscow Mitch stole two Supreme Court seats from the Democrats since 2016. It would be more than fair for the Democrats to add two more Justices to the court.
And so what? In hindsight he should have but at that point there was no need. After all the SC said it was a fundamental right and had been for 30 years at that point.
Number one concern is the massive inflation we have. People vote their wallet/pocketbook.Register and vote in every election. There are more of us than there are of them in almost any issue. This shite has just gotten very real for millions of people that never thought about it before.

I don't think the liberals in Colorado care all that much. After all, they can still get abortions any time they want. And they STILL are suffering from Bidenflation and face the coming recession.Register and vote in every election. There are more of us than there are of them in almost any issue. This shite has just gotten very real for millions of people that never thought about it before.

Long time ago so I had to refresh my memory.Obama said he would codify abortion into law when he was running for president
Do you comprehend that fact?
Just what are they proving besides attacking two capitols now, and politicians like Maxine and AOC threating violence?The Republicans are going to do what they want to do REGARDLESS of what the Democrats do. Hell, Jan 6 proved that.
It's obvious from what McConnell did in 2016 regarding Garland and in 2020 regarding Barrett that the Republican Party plays by a different set of rules.
And look where we are now at -- What are the Democrats gaining by being "polite" while women's rights are being taken away?
And maybe something else you don't realize....If the Republicans take over Congress in Jan 2023, the Democrats will NEVER control Congress again. The Republican Party will NEVER voluntarily give up their power again. Again, Jan 6 proved that.
Therefore, you won't have to worry about "tit-for-tat" from the Democrats when they NEVER have power in Congress again.

You're talking about the freedom of choice act which OBama initially supported - he cosponsored it when he was in the Senate - but then walked away saying it wasn't a priority. He didn't have the votes and I assume had other things, like Obamacare, occupying his time.
Is there a point to this stroll down memory lane?

That the January 6th was just a charade and a witch hunt?
You can dispense with the stupid comments about "GOP Taliban propaganda" already. It only demeans your reply.Here's your answer below. Which you won't accept, since you've been a victim of GOP Taliban propaganda your entire adult life. --
When the Republican national convention convened in Kansas City in 1976, the party’s pro-choice majority did not expect a significant challenge to their views on abortion. < snipped for brevity >
That's right, most Republican voters and most Protestant religious leaders favored abortion until the late 1970s, after Roe vs Wade. They didn't like the sexual revolution and the feminist movement, and that's when they suddenly changed their views on abortion. It had nothing to do with the "protecting the unborn" bullshit that the GOP Taliban has been feeding you for the past 45 years.
What does this have anything to do with my post that Obama said he would codify Roe vs Wade while running for office and he had a super majority?So you think it was legal for Trump and Eastman to have Pence attempt to derail the electoral certification process on Jan 6?
Greg Jacob, Pence's legal counsel, testified that Eastman told Trump on Jan 4 that this plan was illegal and violated the Constitution. Yet, Trump and Eastman went through with it anyway.
Answer the question.

And besides, I'm no more a "victim" of my party's propaganda than you are of yours - very likely far less if the truth be told.
I was in my early 20's when they passed Roe v. Wade and I didn't support the decision then any more than I reject the court's decision this week. Frankly, I've never been a fan of Catholicism, but my views on the sanctity of life are in line generally with theirs, but it doesn't go much farther than that.
Moreover, I've never supported the idea that any party should somehow strategically court certain blocks of voters, just to bolster their own political benefit. Politics is, and always should be, an ideological pursuit, not a demographic one - something with which your party would vehemently disagree.
And if you think "we" haven't been fighting this decision for the past 50 years, to get it reversed - well... then I'm not the one who's been propagandized with BS all these years.
You seem to flounder under the assumption that people are not individuals and are too easily swayed by cutesy marketing of whatever ilk it may be, unable to think for themselves. You couldn't be more profoundly wrong.
LOLI cited a scholarly article and you have NOTHING but your worthless opinion.
The ****ing 1976 Republican Party Platform SUPPORTED ABORTION!! I could care less about what you've personally been doing the past 50 years.
Yes, you are 100% a victim of GOP Taliban propaganda.
What does this have anything to do with my post that Obama said he would codify Roe vs Wade while running for office and he had a super majority?
Sigh is right. Your worthless life experience is more important than what the 1976 Republican Party Platform stated???LOL
Sigh...
CNN reports, "Abortion-rights protesters continued to voice their fury and anguish nationwide Saturday following the seismic ruling by the US Supreme Court to eliminate the federal constitutional right to an abortion.This is the first time in its history that the Supreme Court has removed a fundamental right, the right of a woman to make her own decisions regarding her health and well-being.
The Court is imposing its religious view on the American people.
The Court determined that the government is in control of a woman's health when it involves a pregnancy. The woman and her doctor do not decide her fate. The state does.
You're dismissed.Sigh is right. Your worthless life experience is more important than what the 1976 Republican Party Platform stated???
What a ****ing joke.
You dismissed yourself with your worthless reply.You're dismissed.
it's not a matter of being "polite" it's a matter of not making thing worse.The Republicans are going to do what they want to do REGARDLESS of what the Democrats do. Hell, Jan 6 proved that.

SORRY, BUT ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.........Register and vote in every election. There are more of us than there are of them in almost any issue. This shite has just gotten very real for millions of people that never thought about it before.

I don't remember if he had a supermajority but I'll take your word for it.Since you remembered Obama saying he would codify Roe vs Wade surly you can also remember he had a super majority and could of gotten anything passed
No kidding.Register and vote in every election. There are more of us than there are of them in almost any issue. This shite has just gotten very real for millions of people that never thought about it before.

What I'm telling you is it's going to be worse ANYWAY. And what is "worse" than what's going on right now with Roe vs Wade, anyway?it's not a matter of being "polite" it's a matter of not making thing worse.
What honestly makes you think the Democrats will ever have power again if they lose in Nov? Have you been watching the Jan 6 hearings?McConnell is a sleazy scumbag as are his cronies in the party - no argument from me. But expanding the court and turning it for real into a 3rd house of Congress won't fix any problems just create more of them. Biden is right to reject the idea.
Why do you think Democrats will never be a majority in Congress if they lose in November? fwiw I would have said it's a sure thing Republicans would take Congress back until this fiasco with Roe. It's going to bite Republicans in the ass.
