All things that are more important than a filibuster.
Why should reproductive freedom be a states rights issue?I'd love to be able to find out just how bad Joe's dementia is. He goes from being surprising lucid to completely lost within moments.
Um, Joe, you will need to win the House, and need to win 10 additional Senate seats. It's highly doubtful either will happen.
Oh, and why do you want to codify Roe? Why not Casey?
And Joe, did you miss the part of Dobbs where the opinion said it's a states rights issue?
It's not about reproductive freedom. You can pretend that if it makes you feel better about your argument.Why should reproductive freedom be a states rights issue?
So to clarify your position, you believe that abortion is the ending of a human life?It's not about reproductive freedom. You can pretend that if it makes you feel beeter about your argument.
To be clear, I don't pretend to know when a fetus becomes a person, but I know it's before the 3rd trimester.

This is why you are laughing stock. What is your definition of a fantastic job? Do you love high interest rates, record high inflation, record number of illegal immigrants, ballooning deficit, thousands of deaths in Afghanistan wasted? What of those to you love?Biden is doing a fantastic job. Horrific take

Hopefully most people don't think like you. If we don't hold our politicians responsible for their actions, our country is doomed.

Disagree. Senators would have to vote on bills and defend their votes and they wouldn't be able to inflame their base with demagoguery without following through. They would have to follow through and face the backlash or not follow through and face the backlash.Only problem is what happens when the Republicans win the senate and there is no more filibuster.
Ending the filibuster only makes sense if you don't think the other side can ever win a majority again.
You forgot a little something. Harry Reid started this with judges.
Clearly, I did not forget that fact, as it was the basis of my post when I pointed out that McConnell disagreed with the change at the time.
Mentioning McConnell's change of position was to make the point he spoke out against the democrats when they made the change, but when he wanted something he made a change.
Can't dispute the facts so you call names, how intellectually mature of you.Hey look it's the dude who grew up in Waterloo who hates unions and interracial marriage. Wonder what happened there.

Because it has been part of the way the senate has operated for nearly 2 centuries? One LHow is eliminating the filibuster a threat to democracy? It was created by accident when Senators weren't elected democratically.
At some point it is. I don't know exactly when that point is on the gestational timeline. Based on Casey, which uses a viability test, it would be in the 20 - 22 week period.So to clarify your position, you believe that abortion is the ending of a human life?
I ask because if abortion is murder then how is it a states rights issue? Why would some states be able to allow murder, but not others? I'm just trying to find the consistency in logic here.At some point it is. I don't know exactly when that point is on the gestational timeline.

Ending a human life isn’t always murder.I ask because if abortion is murder then how is it a states rights issue? Why would some states be able to allow murder, but not others? I'm just trying to find the consistency in logic here.
Help me to understand the Dobbs logic and how it makes sense.
What does the filibuster have to do with McConnell refusing to bring any of 400 bills to the floor? You think ALL of those were bad for America? You keep doing your both sides BS. That's what it is, BS. Anybody who can't see that after what we are witnessing isn't very intelligent to put it mildly. Unbelievable that you try to equate today's Republicans to Democrats. SMH.Killing the filibuster is a Democratic Party thing…R’s haven’t been advocating for it. Just a fact.
It's like you actually believe Republicans at this point of their game. Lie after lie after lie after lie. Pay. Attention. Like Huey said, McConnell would absolutely get rid of the filibuster if he deemed it necessary. Just like they did what they did with the SC. If you would say the Democrats aren't perfect, then I agree with that. But you try to make them equally bad to today's Republican Party whose loudest voices are batshit crazy people and grifters/conmen. That's ridiculous. Just look at the indictments/arrests over the last 50 years, party vs. party. Again, figure this crap out.Speculation and no evidence to support your assertion.
Just a BS justification for the D’s to get rid of it…
Then why is abortion called murder?Ending a human life isn’t always murder.
Some people call it murder. Not everyone does. Did any of the justices call it murder in the Dobbs ruling?Then why is abortion called murder?
If it's not murder then how can they justify the banning of medically necessary surgeries? That's what makes no sense to me.Some people call it murder. Not everyone does. Did any of the justices call it murder in the Dobbs ruling?
Which “medically necessary surgeries” did Dobbs ban?If it's not murder then how can they justify the banning of medically necessary surgeries? That's what makes no sense to me.
Why should reproductive freedom be a states rights issue?
Meaning.....only abortions in the first trimester would be allowed - that's all Roe allowed for
If it's not murder then how can they justify the banning of medically necessary surgeries? That's what makes no sense to me.
Read this. Some states are preventing life saving surgeries.Which “medically necessary surgeries” did Dobbs ban?
You keep saying you’re trying to understand the logic, and yet you keep saying things that make no goddamn sense whatsoever.
So a state can ban other kinds of surgeries now? Can Iowa ban kidney transplants? Can Illinois ban cancer treatment?Issues, undelegated to the federal government belong to the states by default...
States already have their own definition of murder, and degrees of murder.I ask because if abortion is murder then how is it a states rights issue? Why would some states be able to allow murder, but not others? I'm just trying to find the consistency in logic here.
Help me to understand the Dobbs logic and how it makes sense.
It's not minus medically necessary, though. These are being stopped, too.(All Abortions) - (Medically Necessary Abortions) = Lots of abortions
They do, but no state allows murder. If a state ever passed a law legalizing murder I doubt it would ever pass court scrutiny.States already have their own definition of murder, and degrees of murder.
You’re all over the map with your posts. Let’s go back and restart with a question that you neglected to answer earlier.Read this. Some states are preventing life saving surgeries.
My question is how? How can states prevent medically necessary, and life saving, surgeries?
"In states that have now banned or limited abortions, it's become more difficult, if not impossible, to obtain timely treatment, with "timely" meaning removing the fertilized egg before it grows large enough to rupture an organ. Doctors fear these new restrictions will put many people in danger."
