Question for the leftists: why didn't you just have Joe Biden and the Democrats pass a law guaranteeing legal abortion?

View attachment 67512662

You had a Democrat President, Democrat Senate majority, and Democrat House majority. So how is it the Supreme Court's fault for following the constitution, which clearly does not guarantee legal abortion?
First, read up on the Senate filibuster.
Second, where in the Constitution does it say that AR-15's are legal?

You must have zero understanding of how the framework of Congress works, huh?

The Democratic majority was not near enough to overcome a filibuster, passing an abortion law was and still is impossible, and that's completely the fault of the elected Republicans.

Question for MAGAs: why do you not understand how Congress works? Do we always have to do all the legwork to educate you? Why can't you pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and do your own digging for a change, instead of expecting knowledge handouts from everybody around you?
 
First, read up on the Senate filibuster.
I did. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/...uster-and-what-would-it-take-to-eliminate-it/
then raised a point of order that the vote on cloture is by majority vote. The presiding officer ruled against the point of order, but his ruling was overturned on appeal—which, again, required only a majority in support. In sum, by following the right steps in a particular parliamentary circumstance, a simple majority of senators can establish a new interpretation of a Senate rule.


What are some ways to modify the filibuster without eliminating it entirely?​


The Senate could also move to weaken the filibuster without eliminating it entirely. A Senate majority could detonate a “mini-nuke” that bans filibusters on particular motions but otherwise leaves the 60-vote rule intact. For example, a Senate majority could prevent senators from filibustering the motion used to call up a bill to start (known as the motion to proceed). This would preserve senators’ rights to obstruct the bill or amendment at hand, but would eliminate the supermajority hurdle for starting debate on a legislative measure.
Again, the Dems had the tools to do it, but chose not to, because rather than doing their jobs and making laws, they'd rather whine about SCOTUS doing their jobs.
Second, where in the Constitution does it say that AR-15's are legal?
In the second amendment, per the understanding of the word Arms at the time. Where does it say in the first amendment that practicing Islam is legal?

Already been discussed. They can just end the filibuster as a process given a simple majority.

You're completely incorrect. Just because you choose to repeat it doesn't make it any less uninformed. Anyone who thinks the filibuster is some simple thing to walk around has no understanding of the Senate political structure, something of which the article you provided even understands.

And need I remind you that just because there was 50 Democratic Senators, does not mean they were lockstep. Manchin and Sinema were the gridlock to keep the filibuster measures in place and not weaken them in any way, as was the prevailing topic of discussion when voting rights protections were discussed in regards to the Freedom to Vote Act. This is same thing how Obama's 60 Democratic Senators did not mean he could just do whatever he so wanted, because not enough of those senators agreed on plenty of different issues.

And need I remind you that the Democratic majority literally attempted to protect abortion under federal law under the Women's Health Protection Act in 2022, and guess what: they did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. It is Republicans' fault that abortion protections have not been achieved, as well as the continued destruction of abortion rights across the country.


Perhaps learn how the Senate works and who is sitting in those seats, before you make declarative statements such as this.

Senate rule changes like the filibuster only need a simple majority, which the Dems had. It's already been analyzed, and I posted it for you.

In other words, this is not a problem caused solely by Republicans. Obviously even some Democrats don't want to mandate legal abortion throughout the country.

Didn't you just admit Democrats are not "lockstep?" So how is this just Republicans that are at fault?
 
First, read up on the Senate filibuster.
Second, where in the Constitution does it say that AR-15's are legal?

"...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

We know what arms are and we know what "shall not infringe" means. AR-15s are arms.

I'm not going to waste my time further with your bad-faith routine. I've already explained it thoroughly, you choosing to be willfully ignorant is your business.

Shepherds? 😆 Spoken from a party taken over by a criminal malignant narcissist scumbag piece of shit liar grifter rapist and seditionist. A billionaire who needs your money. Too funny.
 
2 reasons.

1-A 'law' would not be sufficient. there would need to be an amendment initiative.
2-And the reason why they have never pushed an amendment initiative is because they dont REALLY give a **** about abortion or women beyond the party's use of the issue as a political tool to stir up the retarded leftist extremists that vote for them. Same reason why they created the shitholes that the majority minority communities dwell in and then exploit them or their votes.

Actually, more Supreme Courts have said its a constitutional right than have said it isn’t.

Leftists?
Are ALL non-Trump people LEFTISTS?
Or is that ALL DEMOCRATS are LEFTISTS?

Tell us how you end up RED-BAITING well over half the country like some John Birch Society member.
You enjoy ****ing with people because you lack the ability to debate anything.

OMG TEH SO.webp

#2 is insane even by your own standards! Nice job! I mean, obviously, the women in the party don't care about women, the women in leadership don't care about women, only MAGAs REALLY care about women!! And the party uses abortion as a tool to stir up voters, because that tool is something NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT, especially women, such as the more than half the voters in this country who are WOMEN!!

And why would WOMEN care if a bunch of self righteous, shriveled, old fat pricks in the GOP tell them what to do when they get pregnant? Women making their own decisions? That's for retarded people!!

MAGA!!!

Do you always take your anger out on Orange Man Bad by making ridiculous accusations when it's proven that your shepherds the DNC are also unwilling to guarantee abortion despite having the numbers to do so?

Eh, I doubt it, and likely not in practice. I don't see the SCOTUS striking down either abortion bans or abortion guarantees that the states are passing, which tells me they consider the US constitution to be silent on abortion, neither banning nor guaranteeing it. This means a federal law guaranteeing it is definitely doable. But like you said, Dems don't really give a crap.

"Bear arms" was a common military term.
Why do Democrats have to make up things that don't exist in the constitution and pretend the things that are there in black and white don't exist?

Ah, the sound of dozens of leftists' heads exploding when their beloved DNC is exposed as being uninterested in doing their jobs and making abortion rights guaranteed in the USA!

Which allegation is ridiculous? He's certainly a malignant narcissist. Proven on day one when he couldn't handle that his crowd size was smaller than Obama's. The rest is pretty much self explanatory. I hope you are donating to his cause. Jesus loves donations to billionaires.
