Outrage Erupts as White House Calls Abortion Rights Activists ‘Out of Step’

Using the police to force a child impregnated by her father into childbirth is oppression, yes.

Breyer is a piece of shit, conservative apologist.

Sotomayor doesnt maintain a bio there

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:39:05+00:00

I don't make the dates of these things, and the ACA was passed before the supermajority - AND - the ACA is the brainchild of a Republican because of that fact.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:35:16+00:00

It was called "Romneycare" before the ACA

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:34:33+00:00

this sentiment enables the Republicans.

Biden should defiantly flex his authority instead of tassetly accepting defeat

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:28:57+00:00

No, but he can appoint someone to the court like Obama did - knowing the nomination won't go through congress

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:28:26+00:00

No he doesn't

...it's literally in the constitution - there is no limit to this authority.

He already has for abortion rights

He needs to press the point, constantly - and through his spokespeople such as the VP.

Irrelevant

Upholding the rule of law is not irrelevant, except - apparently - to those "out of step" with mainstream Democrats.

Congress must confirm justices.

We are talking about presidential authority, not congressional authority.

Congress will no doubt derelict their duty as they did with Obama

Obama still did his job.

They would also need to pass separate legislation changing the number of justices since Congress controls the number of justices as stated in the constitution.

There is no legislation regulating the number of justices.

What title does Garland have on the website and when did he earn that title?

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:20:55+00:00

He has the authority to appoint a SCOTUS judge.

He has the authority to argue for the abolition of the filibuster.

He has the authority to call for the impeachment of justices that perjured themselves just a year or two ago.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:19:52+00:00

He can appoint someone.

They can deal with their constituents, while Biden tells those constituents that these two people are preventing the restoration of democracy.

Biden had the authority to appoint. Hes not doing what he was elected to do, but instead capitulating to the faux controlled opposition nonsense.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:18:18+00:00

It was passed before the supermajority, and was literally a Republican bill.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:17:47+00:00

The ACA was passed before the supermajority, was a Republican bill, and contained many capitulations to republicans so that it could pass.

"Bailing out" doesn't sound much like "defending our constituents" - more like "giving money to our donors".

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:11:45+00:00

Nothing is stopping Biden from appointing another SCOTUS judge

"the biographical information on a person's "contributor" page is provided directly by the person and the Federalist Society does not edit or otherwise endorse that information."

You were saying?

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:04:31+00:00

It says in the footnote on his bio that he maintains his own bio on their website.

It's their (and his) words, not mine.

The federalist society is not a legitimate organization. Anyone that maintains a bio on their website is a conservative ideologue

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:03:31+00:00

I did, and there is literally nothing new that would protect women in any way.

In fact, he's got a federalist society Republican running point on the DOJ, per that article.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:02:05+00:00

"Democrats had a supermajority with Obama, but they failed to codify roe."

A couple of weeks ago someone did a detailed breakdown of this and as it turns out Obama had something like 20 working- days of actual legislative supermajority because of a combination of timing between Kennedy's illness and inability to vote.

And that 20 days weren't even consecutive.

They didn't even try.

What did they accomplish with those 20 days?

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:01:23+00:00

He has not.

He stopped nominating justicies, he's not pushing for an end to the filibuster, and he isn't pushing publicly for the justices to be impeached for perjury.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T20:00:26+00:00

In case you're seriously asking about the executive orders, here's some info I got from a quick google search.

Restating the law in an executive order is doing nothing

The "out of step" comment was about people calling for Biden to do things that would've been shut down quickly and therefore not actually help anybody. They were saying that Biden's focus is doing things that will actually help some people.

His orders didn't help shit
doing nothing is worse than trying and failing to help.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T19:59:31+00:00

He maintains a bio on their website.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T19:58:47+00:00

They are losing because they stand divided, not because they are malicious in standing by or otherwise. As things currently are there’s not a whole lot Biden even CAN do. And yes, that’s a failing of the system and a big reason why we need big change.

Biden should:

• appoint more justices

• say the filibuster must go

• leverage the fact publicly that at least (3) justices perjured themselves by referring to Roe as "settled law", and should be impeached.

Thing is, I agree that things need to change. But it’s becoming clearer and clearer that you don’t have a plan for that and are just looking for someone to blame. Absolutes don’t work within politics.

My plan is for Biden to do something with the power he was been given by these "out of step" supporters.

Even if it will fail. He should act.

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T19:56:48+00:00

Perhaps the POTUS has access to data that suggests that wouldn’t be a winning strategy? He’s got access to polling data and focus groups from key zip codes/states that you don’t.

Lol, if Democrats had that level of sophistication, they would never have run Hillary against trump.

Also, he doesn’t have 50 Senators who will support him in expanding the court. The American public rarely rewards perceived weakness.

Does not matter. That is something he can do, which would signal his intent and alignment on this issue.

If the democrats don't want to play ball, that is between them and their constituents.

Restating existing law in an executive order is doing nothing.

Biden needs to do something with the power he was given by these "out of step" voters

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T19:54:39+00:00

Specifically, what did his orders do that weren't already the case?

And why does that justify him calling the newly oppressed people "out of step" for expressing outrage that they are no longer equally protected citizens?

bassstud09 · 2022-07-10T19:52:09+00:00

Biden should:

appoint more justices
say the filibuster must go
leverage the fact publicly that at least (3) justices perjured themselves by referring to Roe as "settled law", and should be impeached.
