Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes. (article link with Bernie quote is below)
Why would Congress codify something being struck down by SCOTUS, knowing it will also be struck down? As a pressure tactic to end the filibuster.
Bernie’s call to end the filibuster is not about Roe v. Wade, if this ruling is true and stands the DS knows they can’t counteract it through legislation. But they need the filibuster out of the way to ram their agenda through before they lose control in November.
If they can get that done a new Republican majority will not be able to repeal anything because Biden will veto everything they send up.
Panic in DC continues.
"Why would Congress codify something being struck down by SCOTUS, knowing it will also be struck down?"
Respectfully, I believe you might be misinterpreting the leaked SCOTUS ruling. The Supreme Court is not (and can't) say that abortion is illegal. All they can do is regards to Roe V Wade is say that the act is either Constitutionally protected or not Constitutionally protected.
The original R vs W ruling said that it is protected. The leaked ruling points to that being overturned. Which if it is, would then make it a legislative issue. So as much as it pains me to say it, Sanders is valid here in saying they need to pass legislation (along with the usual leftist treachery to get rid of the filibuster).
Now, abortion could be rendered unconstitutional if a case reached the SCOTUS where the thrust was something along the lines of the unborn having constitutional protections. But that would be an entirely separate case from R vs W.
*Note: I am not in the legal profession. This is just my layman's understanding of the case and constitutional law.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I’m still struggling to see how Congress can codify the very same notion SCOTUS is ruling unconstitutional.
Bernie Sanders plainly says:
“Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land...”
Yes, they can try to enact something, but this SCOTUS ruling, if true, will set limits on what will pass Constitutional muster.
Why did Bernie Sanders join Joe Biden in making such a “highly unusual move” to personally intervene and help rig a billion dollar referendum in Racine, Wisconsin in the April 2020 primary?
Bernie also led a major rally in Racine for the Working Families Agenda with the Iron Stache running a fake candidacy for Paul Ryan’s seat.

The same group behind the referendum was organized by Anna Makanju for the Obama campaign called Yes We Can Racine when she was an operative for George Soros.
None of these are coincidences.
Racine is the Root of the rigged elections and their entire Agenda.
