The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) unveiled a stamp Monday honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and former colleagues, family and friends gathered to celebrate the justice’…
Cool - you answered the question, gold star. Here’s one more - in those 7 years, was there ever a call from the public to put RvW into law? I’ll even settle for ONE call-to-action news article from that time period.
One nobody who wrote the sentence “they should make RvW into the law” while the dems had a supermajority and I’ll say you have a point
I mean it would have been redundant up until the court decided that settled law didn’t actually matter. When they had a supermajority row vs wade was a constitutionally protected right, there was no reason to spend the political capital on “settled law”.
Then why did Dems promise year after year to codify it into law if it was settled? And why did numerous Dem legislators draft bills codifying it into law that got referred to committee where it was sent to die if it was settled?

More than likely fund raising? Or it could be that pretty much every American politician is a professional liar who’s only real job is to lubricate the human crushing machine that is capitalism…
Well yeah, they’re ghouls… of course they’d rather spend their political capital protecting business interest than use it to protect women.
I wasn’t defending Congress in my statement about the redundancy of passing an actual law, I was just explaining their reasonings. Why pass a policy when it’s already “settled law”. If their opposition is obsessed enough to delegitimize the judicial concept of binding precedents…well we’ll just fund raise off that.
It’s kinda brilliant if you’re a conservative or liberal, you don’t even have to pretend to be progressive anymore. America is so shrouded in conservative ideology that “progressives” are now people who fight to reestablish the status quo of 10 years ago.
You realize that article describes how Obama re-iterated his pro-choice stance when asked if he would sign FOCA, right? What did you expect him to do? Magically declare RvW into law using his Executive branch wand?
If you’re hung up on the URL, I can think of one little thing congress might’ve been distracted by with their 72 days of supermajority.
FOCA had already been drafted by Barbara Lee and referred to committee where democrats sent it to die. They never even brought it up for a vote when they held that supermajority. Talk is cheap, and that’s all they are.
From the time Obama was swore in until the ACA was passed they managed to find the time to pass 161 other laws, mostly useless trivial bullshit.
Nice job not answering the question
Since RvW they had about 7 combined years to pass it when they had a supermajority.
The Democrats had a fillibuster proof majority for a whopping 72 days and they passed the ACA and Patient Protection Plan.
And during that same period they found the time to pass 161, mostly pointless, other laws. But nothing for the law Obama promised to sign day one.

Idk, pick your poison.
Find raising was the sole reason they did nothing, they sold women out to raise money

There were multiple calls from legislators with big promises to codify it.
So… nothing again. Not one source
