      Even if they create a filibuster exception (or kill that fucking thing) and they pass a law - this method is 100% guaranteed failure. The GOP justices will say the law is unconstitional and the GOP easy-peasy kills it dead. The dems will never do it - but to pass a Roe law - they must pack the court first. As far as I know - Kamala and the entire dem machine is pretending that's not true. Meanwhile the media like MSNBC plays along like passing a law without court packing is possible.

      It's all kabuki. Everything in the US is so fucking dumb.
