How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Row v Wade was only able to be overturned because Democrats wanted to be able to run on the platform of defending it, rather than just codifying it into law
The belief in the courts and with politicians was that it was settled law and therefore not up for debate. The dems, at least as far as I know, had nothing to do with the case being overturned. It wasn’t codified into law for two main reasons - there wouldn’t have been enough votes and/or a president wouldn’t veto it, and it wasn’t seen as necessary given the fact that it was settled law.
Do you have sources for any of this? Because it sounds a little too ridiculous to be truthful
