Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So what? He was at the highest power, he could have easily told repubs to fuck off and make overturning it impossible
How?
While Biden was in office, you could at the very least imagine the reverse of what the topic of discussion is now.
Laws are just norms on paper that are constantly trampled via clever loopholes or spurious court-rulings - they don't actually matter - what matters is who is wielding power and whether anyone is able to stop them. Law-enforcement or invocation of laws is how said power is applied to the stated laws, but stated laws are not a prerequisite to the enforcement of policy/statutes/whims. The lack of a legal pathway to achieve something simply articulates the class character of a polity, not the inability to obtain any certain goal. If something is made nigh impossible to do legally then that is just political deterrence and state-sanctioned
