    Oddly enough, in a way, he’s right.

    Democrats’ response to Roe repeal news was to fundraise. They pulled in a cool $80,000,000.

    Democrats are never going to codify Roe because it’s just too lucrative an issue. It’s the same reason why Republicans will make sure we always have a so-called border crisis.

      Codifying Roe would be pointless when SCOTUS has said it’s a state’s rights issue

        It’s pointless because it’s their golden goose. It’s only a states-rights issue because it was never legislated at the federal level, even when the Dems had a supermajority.

          I’m not following. The process to amend the constitution is far more complicated than passing a federal law. SCOTUS effectively blocked any federal law in their ruling that said it is a states’ rights issue. A federal law would not have changed that

            You’re right, Jeff.

            It’s just too hard to do. We shouldn’t expect better. How silly of me to think Democrats might do what they promise one day.
