Joe Biden calls for eliminating the filibuster to legalize abortion nationwide
Biden calls for eliminating the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade
[[Is this the same filibuster that the (D)’s demanded before that they now want to eliminate?]]
Yup.
The left will reinstate the filibuster after abo,ishin git in order to get whatnthey want, when it suits them, and the gop will act like “oh well, nothing we can do now- we tried... please keep voting for us and sending in your donations”
I don’t think the Feds should have authority to do one damn thing about abortion either way. Total State matter. With that said, I also think the Feds are involved in a thousand other things they shouldn’t be too.
Correct. We are in the top of the first inning. I doubt if we will ever get to the point where Congress can only legislate within the bounds of powers enumerated in the the Constitution. I hope they do, but there are so many things already broke. For instance, the commerce clause has been abused since the late 1930’s. That has been the major back door to eroding the 10th amendment and state’s rights. The EPA decision today may give some indication of how far the Thomas court will go.
Evil, yes, but also mind-numbingly stupid.
The SC has returned the abortion question to the states. States will be all over the map on abortion, with many imposing various restrictions, some banning it entirely except to save the life of the mother, and California probably erecting idols to Moloch.
Now Biden wants to re-federalize the question by statute, with the filibuster eliminated (at least regarding abortion) and the law set by pure majority vote in Congress. Really?
Ok. That means the next Republican Congress can impose whatever abortion limits it chooses with 218 votes in the House and 51 votes in the Senate.
What would a Republican Congress actually do, absent the filibuster? Well, probably not go full Alabama, but we would see votes on parental notification and consent, mandatory waiting periods, much tighter regulation and standards for abortion providers, informed consent (e.g. counselling on abortion alternatives and mandatory viewing of ultrasounds), fathers’ rights, and most definitely escalating restrictions on later stage abortions.
All by simple majority vote. I know the left is deranged, but are they really this stupid?
Maybe they can expand it too post natal.
Did election year Democrats possibly work in cahoots with Supremes to sacrifice their politically correct, pro-murder of unborn children sacred cow to give the very corrupt, Democratic-controlled Congress the politically correct excuse to rescue women from pro-life conservatives by making constitutionally indefensible federal abortion rights legislation to try to stop Trump’s red tsunami of patriot supporters in November?
Something like that.
Insights welcome.
Makes one wonder why governmental agencies were buying tons of ammunition and weapons, no to long ago????
Amazing and uncanny this guy is, infallibly latching onto the stupidest ideas anywhere. It’s negative intelligence, it’s a stupidogram.
We need a miniature cruise missile fitted with a slick explosive suppository.
It would appear self inflicted.
So the states can nullify decisions like this.
It is the same thing, because it is not one of the ‘enumerated powers’
No. They ruled the Constitution doesn’t discuss abortion. They did not rule the Feds cannot write a law covering it.
********
True, but under the 10th Amendment, that’s reserved to the states. For the same reason, the Fed can’t enact a nationwide land use law that supersedes state land use law.
Even conservatives fall into this trap of “federal” means “more legal.”
The federal government has limited power under the Constitution. Even a federal ban on abortion would be shaky at best. A federal ban on crossing state lines to get an abortion might be on more solid ground.
No, they just said the old reasoning on Roe was flawed.
Go ahead. Doing it for Supreme Court justices worked well for us.
I thought the Supreme Court just ruled abortion was a state matter.
Now, Biden is saying it is a federal matter.
Is the President confused?
Not confused. He knows that, but trusts the MSM won’t call him out on it.
“True, but under the 10th Amendment, that’s reserved to the states.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get back with me on all the FEDERAL laws and upheld rules on COVID and use of ivermectin and the EPA and OSHA and 10,000 laws that have nothing to do with the US Constitution!
That’s it, actually.
“Makes one wonder why governmental agencies were buying tons of ammunition and weapons, no too long ago????”
They can buy all the ammunition and weapons they want, but they do NOT have enough people to face off the millions of enraged Americans. A good percentage of the people they have don’t want to kill their relatives or friends.
