In reply to the discussion: I can't shake the feeling the Court is Congress reaping what it has sown [View all]emulatorloo
(43,982 posts)22. McConnell 'does fine' because of the fillibuster. Biden is trying to get Senate Democrats to kill
it. He cant do it, Congress has to do it. Two red state Dems are standing in the way. I hope Biden is successful in convincing them.
This wouldnt even be an issue if voters had given us a bulletproof majority. But so far you seem resistant to suggestions that we need to elect more Democrats.
Youre response is to blame Pelosi and Shumer and I guess flirt with third party voting (which effectively just enables more Republicans to win) because you fail to see why my intraparty loyalty should remain.
Do you have any evidence that the people in charge like Pelosi and Schumer are blocking getting rid of the filibuster?
No you dont because they arent.

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
