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.
Correct. Congress doesn't establish new constitutional rights via mere statutory law. They'd have to pass an amendment, which would have to be ratified by the states. Any "pro abortion" statute they might pass (such as denying Medicare to states who ban abortion), will be struck down by this Court.
