Any death threats yet from the mostly peaceful PROtestors?
no worries. Pierre Delecto and Susan Collins will come to the Rat’s rescue..
If the Democrats crafted a bill that protected abortions at least through the first trimester, they'd get their 60 votes in the Senate. If they're greedy and want to protect abortions all the way to full term, I doubt that they'd get all 50 Democrat votes.
AFAIK, the Partial Birth Abortion ban is still on the books after a Supreme Court upheld it as constitutional.
Manchin? He knows West Virginia isn't even close enough to steal . . . yet!
Abortion is a STATE’s rights issue, not a Federal one.
... the inaccurate and grossly named “Women’s Health Protection Act,”
—
Flick’s Rule 42. The meaning of every bill proposed by Congress is the exact opposite of its title.
What I find surprising is that Sinema seems to be the only Democrat that understands that the filibuster potentially helps both parties. Are the rest of them unable to comprehend that they might not have the majority in the future? I guess that’s the arrogance that comes from stealing elections.
Regardless of the prospects in the Senate, the House will still have to try to pass a bill. That may create a problem for Democrats because the progressives will insist on “until birth”, plus government funding, which plays terribly politically and would alienate moderates. The Democrat infighting over the scope of an abortion rights bill in Congress — regardless of whether Congress regulating abortion is ultimately deemed constitutional or not — may blunt a lot of the political gain they might otherwise hope for.
Is it possible that the Supreme Court hasn't really decided and Alito, and one of the liberals, were BOTH assigned to write opinions and then they'd vote after reviewing both opinions, but the 2nd opinion has not been leaked, nor will it be?
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponentâs Argument
Although desperate, election year Democrats evidently want post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally low-information voters to think otherwise, patriots are reminded that the Constitution's Supremacy Clause doesn't work with bogus federal laws that the states haven't expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to make.
More specifically, the Constitution's silence on Democratic and RINO vote-winning, politically correct power to murder unborn children has never been enumerated in the Constitution.
"Article VI, Clause 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land [emphasis added]; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." âUnited States v. Butler, 1936.
Insights welcome.
Next, from an election year-related thread...
We have a very corrupt, alleged election-stealing, elite Democratic and RINO-controlled Congress that cannot be expected to its constitutionally enumerated duty to expel Constitution-ignoring career lawmakers under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 (1.5.2) or Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
"Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member [emphasis added]."
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
So it's up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to peacefully exercise their voting power in 2022 midterm elections to effectively make 1.5.2 and Section 3 work, applying Section 3 to both federal and state governments.
And speaking of voting power, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates. (Good work OH patriots yesterday primary.)
Again, insights welcome.
Doomers are deeply saddened.
They are free to pass anything they want, but it will be contested in the courts and will not pass constitutional muster. Even the libs on the court will not be able to use Roe v Wade in their arguments now that Dobbs v Jacson has thoroughly denounced it’s incoherence. Sinema and Manchin are the last smart democrats. They know they are staring down a huge republican wave, and the fillibuster will be their only weapon in the near future.
OK, I have to take a closer look at them.
This is very good news.
I donât think most of the dem politicians actually care that much about Roe. They just donât want to lose one of their reliable scare tactics they use every election cycle. If abortion is decided on the state level, they wonât be able to use the possible loss of Roe to scare women into voting for them in federal elections, especially the presidential election.
âThe filibuster is the protection of democracy,â Manchin tells meDude, the filibuster is a protection AGAINST democracy.
