BREAKING: Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs Wade

[CrimsonTider]

Shills will ignore this. Even if you fail at least you go down swinging. Instead Dems are sitting on their hands and doing nothing. Kamala just did an interview today where she wouldnt even say if she supported getting rid of the filibuster and the reporter asked her to say yes or no like 3 times. She dodged the question. After all this has transpired she still cant even say she would support getting rid of the filibuster to protect our freddoms much less actually attempting to do so. This is who yall think gonna do anything for you?

This was all predictable and Dems knew this would happen since day one cause we knew the make up of the court. I dont know why folks are acting suprised by the court now. Biden could have been trying to codify Roe and protect democracy from day 1. Instead he and the dems did nothing but sit back and watch. And their only plan going forward is to sit back and watch while the SC takes us back to the 1950s.

Are y’all being dumb on purpose?


They need 60 votes to pass something that’s filibuster proof

they don’t even have 50 votes

Great interview with former pro-life leader for 30 years who explains why he left the movement and now supports choice.

I’m sorry but I’m At this. They will only complain. They will not actually play hardball

Yeah it like there a catch-22 going on a problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rulle

There are currently hundreds of thousands of black children in foster care, how come those who care about black life so much haven't made room for any of those kids in their houses? You do know the foster care system in the states that have outlawed abortion do not have the infrastructure to handle the influx?

What kinda nonsensical argument is this? We didn't make the babies. The parents did It's the parent's responsibilty to either use preventative measures to not get pregnant or raise their children if they didn't. At no point in this inane argument are you holding the people accountable who are 100% responsible for this situation. I bet you're a goofy that also says men should have to be forced to pay child support if they got a girl pregnant not realizing the irony

The point being made is that a lot of anti-abortion people don't really care about kids otherwise there would be more of a concerted effort to reduce the number of black children being looked after by the state and improve the current conditions of foster care and orphanages.

People are making a lot of weird moral arguments about “killing black babies” but no one is talking about how to improve the conditions of the kids that are currently in the system or how to make sure the system can sustain itself when there’s an influx of abandoned children.

Yes they absolutely can eliminate the filibuster. There are several pathways they can take to modify senate rules to require a simple majority of 51 votes such as the nuclear option.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

shyt nikka you're right.

Better to rip them out of their mothers' womb.

First a leg, maybe a bit of skull. Because that's truly caring about children.

bytch shut up, your lack of intelligence is irritating the fukk out of me. I hope your husband cheats, gets aids, gets you pregnant, and both y'all get the virus. Jump off a building bytch, make life easier for your husband and kids.

They don’t have 51 votes

And show me how they can end the fillibuster with 51 votes that won’t get filibustered by the republicans?

Breh just admit you're not well-versed in politics. If all Democrats were in line, 50 Democratic votes plus Kamala's tie breaking vote could end the filibuster. You don't need 60 votes to change the Sebate rules. The GOP did this in 2017 to lower the Supreme Court filibuster threshold to 51 votes.

Google is your friend.
What to know about the Senate's nuclear option

If it were impossible to end the fillibuster it wouldnt have been a debate issue during the election and media wouldnt keep bringing it up in interviews with Biden and Kamala. They have 51 votes. How they govern within their own party and what they gotta do to keep folks in line is not our concern. Thats what we voted them in office for and do it. We did our job now Biden and Kamala and party leaders should do theirs.

From the look of it if the Dem dont the Rep will

The GOP would overturn the filibuster to impose a national abortion ban if it wins the midterms, ex-RNC chief suggests

Michael Steele said the current Republican Party would not hesitate in overturning the filibuster if "politics and power" necessitated it.

www.businessinsider.com

Michael Steele, the former head of the Republican National Committee, slammed the GOP in its current form and suggested that it was prepared to push aside Senate rules and impose a national abortion ban if it retakes Congress in the November midterms.

In a Monday interview with MSNBC, Steele was asked by host Katy Tur if the GOP would seek to enact further restrictions on abortion in the wake of last week's Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion.

Tur asked: "Sen. Chris Murphy said that if Republicans are able to retake the House and Senate, they will pass a federal ban on abortion. Do believe that would happen."

"Yes. Without hesitation. They will set the marker," Steele replied.


"Because it's in their base's interest to do so," he said. "That's the difference politically between the two parties. Republicans will go, 'oh, yeah, the Constitution and the filibuster, all the tradition, the sanctity of the Senate.' They don't give a rat's patootie about that when it's the bottom line in politics and power."

"So absolutely, a national ban on abortion will be one of the first pieces of legislation probably next to impeaching Joe Biden," he said, without providing evidence for his claim that the GOP would seek to impeach Biden.

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, some Republican leaders signaled support for further restricting access to abortion by banning it nationally after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

Under last Friday's ruling, states are left to decide whether abortion is permitted, and under what terms. Most Republican-leaning states have already enacted laws banning or significantly restricting access to abortion, or are poised to do so.


If Republicans take back control of Congress in the 2022 midterms, as some analysts have predicted, they could in theory pass a ban by lifting the filibuster, a rule requiring bills to get at least 60 votes to pass — but it would likely face a White House veto.

Some Democrats have called on the Democratic-controlled Congress to act and pass a law enshrining abortion rights. But such a move would likely be blocked in the Senate by Republicans using the filibuster rule, and Democrats lack the unanimous backing of their caucus required to temporarily lift the filibuster and push through a bill.

Steele, who was the chairman of the RNC between 2009 and 2011, has been a frequent critic of the direction taken by the Republican Party under former President Donald Trump's leadership and influence. He has also said he opposed Roe v. Wade, and abortion access should be a question for states to decide.
