I suspect Biden is never going to get the opportunity. After the midterms, he'll be lucky to have enough senators on his side to effectively run a filibuster.

But America has never been about being concerned with a woman's perspective. And I suspect, we never will be. If Congress was able to override SCOTUS on the issue of slavery, they surely can override SCOTUS on the issue of abortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in a current society of people who want instant gratification, and if they don't get it, they pretend the institutions of government don't exist. That's what's happening right now as we head into the midterms. People are pissed off because a slim majority of a broken Democrat Party isn't getting them first class service on all their wants and needs, so their response is turning to apathy and taking their ball home while holding their fingers in their ears. Unless the Democrats rally and rally hard, the Republicans are going to stomp them during the midterms, even though there's no rational reason that should happen for anything the Republicans have actually done in their own favor or interests.

mclumber1 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If the court does strike down Roe v Wade, that would surely galvanize Democratic voters in 2022, and possibly cause many single issue voters on the GOP side to stay home (hurr durr we won the abortion fight!), making it more likely for the Democrats to keep control of Congress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There - those are your "constitutional checks" on the Supreme Court. Also, and this is the important one, the Legislative enacts laws, including Constitutional Amendments, which the Supreme Court must follow (can overturn a law based on constitutionality, but not an Amendment because it IS the Constitution). It's why the Supreme Court was finally forced to decide for Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
