    They don't have a shot now. They might have a shot if they had 53 or 54 Senate seats (enough to override a veto and lose Manchin, Casey & perhaps others). They should run on trying to get those seats.https://twitter.com/NoahShachtman/status/1522392558244093952 …

    Wait a minute. Dems think they have a shot at passing a bipartisan bill that codifies Roe. But they don't want to bring it up for a vote?! https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2022/05/05/the-bipartisan-abortion-bill-dismissed-by-dems-00030346?nname=politico-nightly&nid=00000170-c000-da87-af78-e185fa700000&nrid=0000014e-f100-dd93-ad7f-f905c62a0000&nlid=2670445 …

        Roe is popular & people don't like to see rights being taken away. Democrats should run in Senate and House on promise to codify Roe. What's the argument against it (especially since they can't deliver other promises).

        This is about giving Collins and Murkowski cover yes?

        Democratic promises to do something if they win always run up against their record of not doing those things in the past. I’m not saying they shouldn’t try, but it’s going to be mocked, and rightfully so.

        You know, it is hardly unusual for a party with a paper-thin majority to be unable to get sufficient unanimity to do everything it promised. The GOP held the trifecta in 2017 but couldn't repeal the ACA.

        So, you're saying that only a half dozen Republican Senators need to miss the vote, for some reason, is what I'm hearing.

        I'm just confused why we are supposed to believe Murkowski or Collins is going to vote to kill the filibuster? Or are we supposed to believe 12 GOP senators are going to codify Roe?

        Even if they gain enough seats in the Senate, how are they going to keep control of the House, when courts strike down D gerrymanders in NY and uphold R ones in red states?
