Not that I want them to do this, but why wait?
They do not have the votes to do it now.
While I hope the Rs run good campaigns so they will *crush* the Ds in the mid-terms, if the Ds win and get rid of the filibuster I will look forward to the time when they again need it. Oh,the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth that will happen then!
“ Not that I want them to do this, but why wait?”
This is a campaign platform.
The GOP has been doing it for 50 years. Vote for us we’ll get rid of abortion
“Not that I want them to do this, but why wait?”
My thoughts. exactly. Simply because, even with slim Dem majorities in both houses, the Dems don’t have the votes. Manchin and West Virginia won’t go with it and there are a number of Dems congresscritters in red districts that will not go along with the abortion extremes the progressives want. Plus the SC has already declared it a matter for the states and likely Fed legislative action would be overturned. Harris is just trying to turn up her progressive base to get the vote out with this crap.
