      I’d rather not have the equivalent of the Florida or Texas legislature running the country. That’s worse than no progress.

        Same. Unfortunately, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act was less important than centrists’ adherence to the Jim Crow Filibuster.

          Floridians had rights, until suddenly they didn’t.

          Rights aren’t so important when they can easily taken away.

            Rights aren’t important to you at all. As long as Democrats get to keep their stupid procedural excuse for inaction, everything else is secondary.

              And yet they are taking action where they can, like in Ohio, Kansas, etc.

              You are willing to risk everything for short term again, most of us aren’t.

                Great. Could have codified Roe, but you’re happy with Texas’ law as long as your precious Jim Crow filibuster keeps progress from ever happening on the national level.

                Your real nightmare scenario isn’t Florida’s abortion laws. It’s Washington’s minimum wage, universal vote by mail, and legal cannabis.

                  Codified Roe = short term gain. The only way to codify it is to plant the seeds for its destruction. Along with the destruction of other laws you should care about.
