Disturbing to see a young woman interviewed on MSNBC, complaining about Democrats, [View all]

blaming them for not having "codified" Roe v Wade into law.

If she's smart enough to use the word "codified" in a sentence, why isn't she smart enough to understand about the filibuster?

We should all be doing whatever we can to gently educate people like this woman. (So they don't dig their heels in even more.)
