Make all the SCOTUS judges 4 years older and those senators that belive in the sanctity of the filibuster 4 years older.

But a Republican tried to kill another Republican! And an old guy had a cold!

Great - another election where “heath issues” means that voters don’t actually get to pick the democratic nominee.

Too late! Trump already took it. Also bleach.

Having a pro-lifer as the majority leader is a big stumbling block. Don’t know much about the first two post-roe trifectas, but I do know there was a particular democratic house member that voted to amend the constitution to overturn Roe

Just for fun, I looked at the last 50 years to see WHEN they could have codified Roe. There were only 4 periods with dem trifectas:

-1977-81 senate majority 6

-1993-95 senate majorty 4

-2009-11 senate majority 9 (10 for a month)

-2021-23 senate majority 1

The senate majority is the number of senators you could loose who didn’t want to get rid of the filibuster on this topic OR who were pro life (like Harry Reid, the senate majority leader from 2005 to 2017, though in the senate from 1987-2017)

Do people not know that other elections besides president are going on? Republicans barely won the house in an midterm, no way they win it this time around. Also, no way Republicans get 60 senate seats. Supreme Court is going to SCOTUS regardless of the president, we just won’t get to start fixing it for a while.

The only thing I worry about is Ukraine- but 6 more months of American help to shore up some good defensive lines and decrease Russian capacity and they could do without us for the next 2-4 years.

If you don’t like Biden, just focus on your local and state races. If we win the house and senate but loose the whitehouse, maybe DNC will learn to push for exciting POTUS candidates (or to push for the interstate compact)
