In reply to the discussion: I can't shake the feeling the Court is Congress reaping what it has sown [View all]Sympthsical
(9,073 posts)17. What's your evidence of this?
We have their logic and ruling on overturning Roe. Within that context, what is your evidence for your assertion?
We can't justify inaction because we just "know" things.
It goes back to that "Why bother" excuse making. You say people need to vote more. I whole-heartedly agree. But in the same sentence, you knee cap the sentiment by turning back the idea progress can be made. When you repeatedly tell people nothing can really be done, because the Court will just nuke it anyway, why are people voting for you?
You are basically telling the voters who are angry about Roe, "We can do nothing about this."
How is that a valid election tactic? Who does that get in the booth for you?

OP
The court can and does overturn laws that congress passed, so I guess I don't understand your post

I still don't understand your post. This court would have overturned a Roe v Wade law.

Nah your proving their point. You're condemning 'congress as a whole', but you're acting as if

McConnell 'does fine' because of the fillibuster. Biden is trying to get Senate Democrats to kill
