That’s not the only way of stopping them.
This is the way.
It’s not even a way to stop them.
Biden has literally been president during this whole Roe v Wade overturning.
It’s so exhausting to see libs walk this line so close to being actual progressives, but not, all for their precious capitalism.
You’re never going to beat the system by playing within the rules it’s set you, the house always wins.
Okay. Outline a reasonable action Biden could have taken to prevent the ruling.
He could have pushed to have it codified.
He could have also pushed student loan forgiveness for all borrowers instead of the bullshit means testing that got it shut down.
Without 60 votes in the Senate, shit, without 50, it codification of abortion rights wasn’t happening. And he did push loan forgiveness, the Supreme Court shut that down.
It got shut down because of the means testing he included. If he hadn’t excluded some borrowers it would have gone through.
Nope, it got shut down because the court ruled that it amounted to the executive appropriating money. Means testing is constitutional.
It wasn’t the means testing that shut it down, if anything it wouldn’t have made it as far as it did without the means testing. As it is, people were already complaining that it was a giveaway to wealthy folks who don’t need it. Take away the income limit and it would have less than zero chance of succeeding.
The president has very little power over legislative decisions. Yes, he could have used the bully pulpit to advocate for abortion legislation, but it would have accomplished nothing.
