    Great. Could have codified Roe, but you’re happy with Texas’ law as long as your precious Jim Crow filibuster keeps progress from ever happening on the national level.

    Your real nightmare scenario isn’t Florida’s abortion laws. It’s Washington’s minimum wage, universal vote by mail, and legal cannabis.

      Codified Roe = short term gain. The only way to codify it is to plant the seeds for its destruction. Along with the destruction of other laws you should care about.

        Codified Roe = short term gain.

        You prefer no gain at all ever. Congratulations on getting it.

          I prefer incremental gains that are not easily reversed. Like the ACA and the latest climate change legislation.

            You like the filibuster because you like your losses to be untempered by gains.

            You’re trying to coast on the ACA from 15 years ago, when the only thing you liked about it was how the filibuster prevented the public option from happening.

              I like the filibuster because without it the ACA wouldn’t have lasted 15 years.
