SCOTUS and whatnot

the fillibuster is way more valuable to the GOP than a national abortion ban is.   Why get rid of the fillibuster when you can just add it to a reconciliation bill and fire the parliamentarian if and when they declare the ban not eligible for reconciliation?

The legislative fillbuster constrains many more Democratic priorities than GOP priorities.  They'd be dumb to get rid of it. 

it also allows them to placate their crazy base while not actually passing something wildly unpopular like a nationwide abortion ban.  they can say "we tried all year long to pass the ban but those darn democracts just filibuster everything...grrr..."

This is exactly what we were told about Roe.

These guys won't bend to the base on an abortion ban.

Looks like someone needs safe spaces from people who identify as LGBTQ. The party that always projects is the party than in the end, needs what it is projecting. We cry about liberal safe spaces and here we are wanting to give our kids safe space from the evil gays and trans people.

Bert and Ernie turned thousands of kids gay.

I'm actually confused what his position is. I thought Manchin would have been a yes.

And then there is this.

I had thought this was assumed..

Schumer doesn't want this vote because he thinks he can win, the best he can do is have it for the record for Nov.

I understand that. He says he will not vote for this legislation but for Roe codification so I'm not sure what exactly he is supporting. Given that Tester is supporting it and pro life Democrat Bob Casey is as well, I had hopes Manchin would come around since overturning Roe is even unpopular amongst Republicans.

and you can count on him doing his best to keep it that way.

Anyone hear what the party of protection of babies is doing about baby formula shortages?

[CMRivdogs]

Last I heard they were acting like big babies. And Blaming Biden for hoarding it for his dinner parties

[pfife]

I definitely heard that kkk dude I think his name is Steve Scalise say it was bidens fault which I guess solved the problem enough for baby protectors

[oblong]

1) Hoarding in 2020 led to an over supply at home and analysts couldn't predict the demand

2) A small baby boom in 2022 and decline in breastfeeding

3) A pathogen at a MI processing plant

4) Silly regulations on labeling requirements from Europe

and

 

Quote

U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that does meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. And under President Donald Trump, the U.S. entered into a new North American trade agreement that actively discourages formula imports from our largest trading partner, Canada.

This is for the people that just say vote.
