President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he would support nixing the filibuster to pass nationwide abortion laws through the Senate.
“We have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure the Congress votes to do that,” Biden said at a news conference in Europe. “And if the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights, we provide an exception for this, or an exception to the filibuster for this action.”
The exhortation follows the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade — the 1973 decision claiming that the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution protects abortion — at the end of last week. While several Democrat-run states have pushed for removing limits on abortion, Republican-run states began implementing more regulations…
Biden said, “It is a mistake, in my view, for the Supreme Court to do what it did,” Biden continued. “I feel extremely strongly that I’m going to do everything in my power, which I legally can do in terms of executive orders, as well as push the Congress and the public.”
He’s a day late and dollar short, should have done his executive order while the leaked draft opinion was no more than that. He can’t do it now after the real thing was handed down. Executive Branch does not sit in review of Judicial Branch. He can’t overrule the Supreme Court. Besides, he is not really President, but only Acting President as resolved by the Great State of Texas that he was not legally elected. He can’t do executive orders where there in no language in the final Supreme Court decision inviting his administrative oversight. Tenth Amendment is Tenth Amendment, that’s it, that’s all, for the States or the people, and anything he thinks, says, or does is as a mere interloper, to be ignored.
