Scarborough Urges Schumer to Get ‘Bipartisan Vote’ on Abortion — ‘Take the Wins You Can Get’
Breitbart ^ | 05/09/2022 | Trent Baker

Posted on 05/09/2022 11:10:09 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday, a very emotional MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough delivered a rant directed at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Democratic leaders to pass Roe v. Wade and codify it into law.

After outlining how the leaked draft U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade shared the same “constitutional foundation” as interracial marriage and contraceptive rights, Scarborough suggested Schumer get a “bipartisan vote” instead of trying to “get the whole loaf.”

I don’t believe the RATs have the votes.

Pull a ‘King Solomon,’ Chuckie! Just cut those babies in half!

Oh, wait...

In reality, I’d LIKE a public Congressional vote. Let the Baby Killers wave their Freak Flags for all the world to see!

(They’ll never do it...)

It won’t be “bipartisan.” It will be liberals voting for liberal legislation.

It’ll be Democrats and Collins and Murkowski.

That’s not “bipartisan” that is, representatives with different points of view coming together on a piece of legislation.

It’ll be totally partisan.

If you're an aspiring democrat strategist, like Scarborough, then this is brilliant advice. He anticipates (correctly) that many, maybe most republicans in congress actually support abortion no matter what their campaign rhetoric says. So if Schumer schedules a vote it's a total win-win for him. He will get ALL the dems to vote yes and make the base satisfied. And he will force republicans to either vote to support abortion or not. Most will NOT want to go on record either way. Sure, they talk a lot but most of what they say are lies (see: six years of all of them proising their #1 priority was "Repeal and Replace Obamacare" until they could actually do it and refused to even have a vote on it).

Basically such a vote would put a lot of GOP members in a very uncomfortable spot. So why wouldn't dems want to do that?

It’s like Gay Marriage, privately a lot of Republicans were happy that the issue got taken off of the plate when the Supreme Court approved it.

And that includes one Donald Trump, because he never even had to address the issue.

Bring it up for a Senate vote, but beforehand, Miotch should yield time to Cotton or Ernst (even better), to read Schumer's direct threat to the Justices of the Supreme Court into the Senate Record:

"On March 4, 2020, on the steps of the Supreme Court building, Sen. Chuck Schumer directly threatened the lives of Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh, for abortion-related decision-making."

"Speaking to a crowd on the Supreme Court steps, the leading Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer declared: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you, if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Only one problem, the bill is the extreme version. If they put up a bill with say a 15 week limit, then they'd likely pass it.

Doesnt he understand.... hes advocating for the death of kids. This is not really a bipartisan issue. Let states that want it have it by vote....otherwise keep the Feds out. Thats the beauty of America that is often forgotten. If you dont like where you are , theres another state not too far away that probably is the polar opposite of where you are at...so move.

Someone should ask Joe, how do you get 60% of what you want in codifying Roe v. Wade into law? It seems a rather black or white issue. Would a compromise make abortion legal six months out of the year? Every weekday between Wednesday and Saturday?

Besides, there is no way ANY abortion bill would get 10 Republican votes to break a filibuster in the Senate as there are only 2-3 Republicans that are even remotely pro-Abortion. So they goes back to ending the filibuster, and if Schumer can end the filibuster then he will certainly go for the whole loaf rather than a compromise (but he can't or he would have already done so).

There haven’t been any wins during the Biden years, and there haven’t been any wins during the takeover by the democrats of congress,

so...

what wins is Scarborough talking about?

FACT is that, a vote to codify Roe v Wade or national abortions, does not have enough members of congress to get passed.

Scarborough has been left without a brain ever since republicans repudiated him and ever since ‘he became a democrat’.

So I guess nobody actually read the document by drafted by Alito.

Alito and the majority opinion says that it’s a State Right essentially, and was never a SCOTUS right or Federal right. Power to the people means power to State Legislatures which are closest to the electorate.

Even If Schumer passed some legislation granting abortion, it would be seen as an usurpation of State’s rights at this point. No different than SCOTUS ursurpation that Alito says was wrong. Besides, new Congress means the law could be struck down and a new law created easily. Then what, complete Ban on Abortion?

People need to come to terms with how this should be handled. Either in your state, or draft an Amendment and go through the process. Bypassing the Constitution hasn’t worked for anyone thus far, and it won’t hold up with a ‘new law’ at the House and Senate level either.

Most politicians are for abortion if only because it allows them to either get rid of an inconvenience if they’re a woman or to get rid of their mistresses baby and avoid problems with the Mrs. if there are men
