      Even during the narrow window when Dems had 60 Senate seats, they didn't have 60 pro-choice senators. Impossible promises, no follow-through.https://twitter.com/danfromtheweb/status/1521362565195988992 …

      You don't need 60 if you're willing to override the filibuster. Dems have been able to do this a few times in the past but were too committed to procedural traditionalism to make the effort.

          You attach it to a "must pass" bill like the pentagon budget. Dems actually did this to Bush in 2007, which is how the min wage was raised along with more Iraq war funding (this was still a defeat since they had promised to stop the Iraq war but principle is the same)

          They don't have 50 Dem votes for it now. Manchin and Casey aren't pro-choice, so you'd need Collins (lol) and Murkowski after you got rid of the filibuster.

          Yeah it'd depend on some GOP defectors. How many are there, I wonder, who feel they'd have to vote with the Dems on this or lose their own elections back home?

          Until we elect more younger D Senators who see the GOP for what it is today, not what it used to be decades ago, nothing will change. Too many members believe that the GOP can still be reasoned with and people that old just aren't going to change their minds.

          The republicans had no such moral trouble doing away with the filibuster to give us this stacked court.

          That would mean a simple majority could then make abortion illegal nationwide too?

          Republicans are definitely going to use a simple majority to make abortion illegal nationwide as soon as they can
