President Joe Biden said Thursday he would support changing filibuster rules in the Senate to make it easier to codify the right to abortion and the right to privacy into federal law following last week’s Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Biden called the ruling “outrageous” and “destabilizing” and said Congress must overturn it by writing Roe v. Wade into law. “And if the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights — we should provide an exception for this,” he said during a news conference in Madrid, where he is wrapping up a six-day trip to Europe.

How stupid! Remember when Hillary was gonna load scotus in 2016? What happened is trump got elected and it got loaded the other way instead. If Democrats get rid of the filibuster, and then we get a republican house and senate, then they, and the nation will do whatever republicans say next.
Think about it all politicians of greatness in American history would have thought this was a bad idea. Now Biden, the failed politician, thinks he knows better than them? If Democrats do this, and it doesn’t go as they planned, like the “load scotus,” thing didn’t, then they are out of options for all of time. The only option in that scenario is “move to another nation or start a armed revolution, “ if you don’t like whatever the republicans do next.
I am a pro life democrat that knows Roe was overturned not because of what I think, but to benefit the evil adoption industry. Abortion being illegal in some states is not worth risking republicans being able to run their agenda, unopposed, forever more. We could end up in wars, we could end up with horrific laws, police and prisons run riot, racist laws, out of control, and unstoppable. Roe being overturned was unforseen. You get rid of the filibuster and every other unforseen political crisis will be legislatively unstoppable forever more. It’s a ridiculous idea. Hopefully cooler heads prevail.
