re: #30 Targetpractice

There has to be more, there can’t just be speeches and statements and a single futile vote for which the spoilers will face no consequences of any note. […]

Josh Marshall has a plan for that:

An election is the opportunity to change the math. If the Democrats have 50 votes to codify Roe and change the filibuster rules, they can fix this. That probably requires two more Democratic senators willing to do both. That’s a very heavy lift in this election climate. But it’s a realistic challenge. If you meet it everything changes.

Maybe you can only line up 47 votes, in which case you need three more senators. Not great. But at least then you’re giving a clear choice. […]
