Nope, he lost it because Ted Kennedy had died and Massachusetts voters replaced him with a Republican. Had they elected a Democrat, he would've kept it for 10 more months.
When Obama Had "Total Control of Congress"
The Reverend Lies are easy to get away with if they are repeated often enough and given voice by many different people. Repeat a lie often enough and that lie often becomes conventional wisdom. Repe…

He never had 60 and he had a Republican majority senate for 6 of 8 years.
Sinema especially. With Mancin, you could ague he had to take some iffy positions because of West Virginia. But Sinema's case is wholly inexcusable.
If the democratic party was worth a damn all the pro rights members would constantly and very publicly be torching people like Joe Manchin. Absolutely bury him for all is corruption, call him a Republican. Just fucking torch him.
Instead they all pretend like he's an honest broker and a reasonable chap and anything besides a piece of shit and just ask us to vote in even more people that they will do nothing to keep in line.
The reason the Republican party is successful is they have an agenda and push for it ruthlessly and torch anyone who gets in the way. The democratic party sees someone like Manchin and it's just "oh golly gee can't do nothing there, guess women don't get rights"
This is literally where I'm at. This, then gay marriage, civil liberties for all minorities, it's over. This country needs to literally be torn down to the studs.
So...why didn't we nuke the filibuster when we had the chance?
It will be legal in some states, but yes Federally that's that until something pretty major changes.
Justices dying, the Court being dissolved or stacked, the US itself splintering etc
This is why you vote in EVERY election. Midterm, presidential, local. All of them. Every time.
I agree, but what can be done? With regards to Ginni Thomas, that woman is never going to a courtroom, much less a cell.
In regards to SC, you have to go after those special interest groups like the Freedom Foundation (that hold an elitest event every year and they choose who would be the next Justice).
So that some don't misunderstand. Abortion is not outlawed nationwide...YET.
Unless he will change the filibuster to make it happen, anything he says about this is meaningless.
Ask him if he'll vote to remove the filibuster to pass it
Bet you that's a no
And you thought this, a topic about a ruling that the vast majority of Americans don't support and will cause great suffering and strife, was the right time to come let us know that you don't feel sorry for innocent, powerless American people because of our shitty government?
Get a grip.
Oh, it's already SUPER fucking toxic.
The GA law that got scrapped a couple years ago had a provision where anyone that experienced a miscarriage would more or less get investigated by state officials. It's going to get a whole lot worse in red states for so many people.
Gotta love NE fuckery. Dems need to solidify that region, but stuff like this always happens.Nope, he lost it because Ted Kennedy had died and Massachusetts voters replaced him with a Republican. Had they elected a Democrat, he would've kept it for 10 more months.

Cis white middle of the road males: "ugh this sucks y know? Fuck. What a bunch of asses. Almost ruins my day."
we're united by the fact that we all proudly remove our hats and stand for the singing of our beautiful national anthem at sporting events
FWIW, and this is anecdotal, a few of my more conservative follows on accounts are pissed about this too.
God This really fucking sucks. More than sucks man this is downright terrifying.
The key is to start organizing. Yes vote for the damn Democrats who get stopped at every single roadblock possible, whether intentional or not. Especially vote for progressives in local and state races. Protest, make your voice heard. BUT ALSO start organizing in our work places and unionize. Shut down anti-union propaganda where you can. You can see how Starbucks and Amazon do everything in their power to stop it from happening because they know once you get that ball rolling, it's a snowball effect. If there's one thing these monsters listen to it's money. I don't think we can continue to expect things to change enough through our democracy. It's nice if it works on occasion of course.
Everything fucking sucks, we're all tired I know. We don't all have the ability to rock the boat, its lofty, and if you're a Texas teacher its even illegal, I understand. I don't mean to disparage. But we gotta get some gains where we can while its still possible. I know today feels lost, but tomorrow and in the days to come, do what you can.

These pieces of shit are grinning ear to ear over this. Fuck each and every one of them.
Alarmed, huh. lol
I mean... it's just... these are the democrats we have to rely on...
Shit
At least half of the Democrats in Senate wouldn't vote to pack the courts either.
This.
Sadly, this is also true.
It doesn't seem like it will happen, but it's one of the alternatives to waiting for the justices to die of old age and hope that reasonable people are in control when that happens.
You're not gonna get anything better from West Virginia. It is a losing battle.
This right here, in addition to Roe being overturned today, is what fills me with utter pessimism.
A charter written over 200 years ago, even with amendments, is not equipped to deal with the GOP gerrymandering, voter suppression, and a stacked Supreme Court that will make it all legal.
There are two ways to legally fix it. One is amendments, and the other is a Constitutional Convention. Neither will happen due to GOP control of the Senate and state legislatures.
Unless folks from CA, NY, IL etc are willing to move to fly over country in numbers massive enough to change the demographics, I don't really see a long term fix.
I'll vote this year and encourage all Americans to do the same. It doesn't change my worry that this entire thing is untenable.
