By republicans. Clearly you've never had a civics course or you wouldn't say stupid shit that shows you don't understand how the US federal government functions.

The point is that Biden could've made it unrepealable, but didn't

[-] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

How? By what mechanism could he prevent the supreme court from overturning established legal understanding? Because that's not a thing the president gets to do, like what the fuck are you even talking about?

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today -1 points 3 weeks ago

Court packing, among others. Something the Democrats, who controlled both houses and the Presidency, chose not to do.

That's not something the president can do, that's a power of Congress. Thank you for proving my point.

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today -1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you unaware that Biden was elected with both houses of Congress in 2020?

Thank you for proving my point.

That you don't understand what political parties are, or . . .?

So you don't understand that the executive branch doesn't control the legislative is what you're saying. You're asking why the president didn't do something the president can't do because only Congress can, and you're also pretending the democratic party is exactly as in lock step as the republican party (which is either stupid or disingenuous to the point of bad faith) so I can only conclude you're either participating in bad faith or don't actually know what the fuck you're talking about in the first place.

I'm well aware of how the US government functions, dipshit. You're saying that because the results of your failed strategy are apparent.

[-] MartianRecon@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Clearly you don't.

You don't 'reinforce' a law when there is established legal precedent because, there is legal precedent.

That's like making more laws saying murder is illegal.

You accellerationists have such a chronic lack of understanding how this government functions.

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today -1 points 3 weeks ago

You're the only one bringing up an idea of "reinforcement".

On the other hand, you do absolutely legislate law when abortion protections only had a SCOTUS case protecting them, especially since it was one that they'd been nibbling at for decades. Which is part of the reason that it'd been a topic for decades, and a campaign promise of Obama. One he decided later to just forget about.

a chronic lack of understanding how this government functions

It's always funny to see the shitlibs show off the fantasy they construct to protect their sad worldview.

Look around at the US. This is your doing. You guys won. You drove the politics since the 90's - and this is the result. None of this was a surprise to anyone but you.

[-] MartianRecon@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm bringing up the correct terms here. When the supreme court decided something was legal there's zero reason to reinforce those legal issues as they are settled law. Every conservative on the court also confirmed this was settled law during their confirmation hearings. They obviously lied. But you can't legislate based off of Calvinball.

It’s always funny to see the shitlibs show off the fantasy they construct to protect their sad worldview.

Oh fuck off dude. I'm a shit lib? You guys don't even fucking vote during the primaries so your candidates never make the general elections. All people like you do is snipe on the sidelines and never participate.

People like you are literally why the left loses so goddamn always.

[-] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

You're really showing off that "understanding" too. Keep it up comrade.
