AOC explains the value of accountability, excoriates Senate Democratic leaders for shirking oversight obligations, and lays out a vision for a more fearless, effective party
Yep, they’ve had a ton of chances to get roe made a federal law…and nothing. Even RBG said it was a weak ruling and needed a federal law to keep it from being revoked, but they didnt care because it’s a voting check for them.
Same reason republicans are horrified of fixing the border now. If you fix the problem you can’t use it as a Boogeyman to scare people into your agenda. I suspect when democrats say things like ‘you have to beat Trump at the polls’ when asked about prosecution are doing much the same strategy.
Edit: 10am monday, even the non fascist supreme court members just ruled trump cant be held to the law as written. 9-0 decision too.
