Biden Now Supports Ending Filibuster To Codify Roe v Wade

Boy, you shift gears quickly don't you lol? I'll follow alone though.

I've read the article. I also am very familiar with Naomi Wolf and her recent policy positions. With that said, I am not going to attack the source as so many right-wingers on this board do when they don't like what the source is saying. I will address her claims, and ask that you do the same.

Let's start with one of her first claims:

"Before I do, though, I warn that the Roe decision is being used as a pretext for a campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court. This anti-SCOTUS campaign fits in as part of the larger war on our democratic institutions, about which I have been writing in The Bodies of Others, and elsewhere."

"Larger war on our democratic institutions."

Explain to me Dan how the current Supreme Court is a "democratic" institution?
It’s one of the three branches of a democratic republic. I’m glad and a little surprised that you read the whole thing. Good for you! That she proposes a middle ground is something I would have expected you to agree with.
 
Because the Constitution protects a woman's right to privacy in this matter. That right though is not unlimited, as all are rights. Hence, the trimester framework. Hence, a middle ground. Not an extreme gound where we allow states to ban all abortions, even in the cases of rape and incest.
Why are states that ban abortion considered extreme, while states that open abortion up until the moment the cord is cut is cut considered acceptable? That doesn't sound like middle ground to me. Like I said, give me the 15 week Florida law, or the 12 week French one. Thats middle ground.

Can the abortion debate go back to the abortion debate thread?

I’ve got something to talk with @davidallen about regarding the filibuster.

I AM for a change in the rules to the way it used to be regarding the filibuster.

The just vote no by 40 Senators to avoid cloture and moving on to other business is kinda bs.

Filibuster rules need to go back to having to be talking filibusters that hold up the entirety of the business.

I’m clocking out for the night. But I’ll close with what I think @my_2cents’s argument is: Part of the population thinks Roe should be the law of the land. Another part thinks it should not be the law of the land. Therefore the middle ground is Roe should be the law of the land.

You didn't answer my question.

Again, explain to me Dan how the current Supreme Court is a "democratic" institution?

Funny how you always clock out when the questions get too tough for you and you are asked to defend just one claim from an article you linked to! 🤣🤣

And @davidallen is right, tomorrow you will have no memory of this discussion and link to some other article you can't defend.

Who said the latter is acceptable? Roe v. Wade sure didn't say it, I'm not saying it, nor do I see anyone else on this board saying it.

Falling back on a straw man doesn't help your argument, in case you didn't know this.

Who said it? 49 Democrat Senators. They tried to pass legislation legalizing abortion up to birth
 
I particularly like Biden saying they only need to do away with the filibuster for abortion and voting rights. How stupid does he think people are? Oh my apologies, seems we have a couple of the stupid people on this board.

Poor Brandon and regressives. Sit back down and keep sky screeching. Filibuster stays.

 
If you think about it Democrats have destroyed fatherhood in many communities and now they are trying to destroy motherhood. Thinking further Democrats want to destroy everything, oil and gas, the economy, fatherhood, motherhood, Christianity, the middle class, children's innocence, our history, farmers, ranchers, individuality, freedom, the Justice System and so on.
