What are you on about, she said she wants Roe back. This just reeks of b b b but dems bad!!
So did Joe Biden.
The problem is he did nothing meaningful to restore it. My point is simple: It doesn't matter what you say if you're not going to use the power you have in order to make the change.
It essentially wasn't overturned until he lost the House of Reps. They need House majority, senate majority, presidency, and get rid of the filibuster (which wasn't going to happen with Manchin). All 4 to pass that legislation. It's going to be tough to get them all.
But you don't care about any of that. Your ~~point~~ misinformation is simple: B b b b b but Dems bad!1!!
The ACA and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were both passed with a simple majority.
Put simply, you are incorrect. Hard things are possible if a president is willing to work for the; Sadly, Biden was not.
Other things took simple majority, therefore this would take a simple majority too? Outstanding logic. By that logic no one has every filibustered anything, right? If Dobbs was something the GOP wanted, they would have filibustered it.
lol so thanks for exposing your goal of misinformation. I see no point in continuing to rebut your mental gymnastics, so ciao.
*ACA was passed 60-39, supermajority.
Unlike you, I won't accept that it's okay to do nothing because something is challenging.
Who said I accept nothing? Simply because I lay out what needs to happen, while you live in la la land of "president just needs to want it". Why am I bothering with your nonsense replies, you need to do some reading. Ciao.
