    Roe v. Wade was overturned under his mandate period as well. Sure it’s a Supreme Court decision, and the SC is mostly republican but it’s not like Biden couldn’t have pushed harder. He could, but then he wouldn’t be able to campaign on it.

    “Vote for me and I’ll return some rights to people, maybe.”

      Yes, it’s all the Democrats’ fault that six Republican appointed justices overturned Roe.

      Bullshit.

        It is absolutely their fault there are more Republicans in the Supreme Court. Justices aren’t naturally occurring by unpredictable Acts of God.

        It is also RBG’s fault, while we’re at it.

          Your RGB point is the first one of merit. Sure should have left at an advantageous time.

          The judges were appointed by a majority Republican Congress with a republican president. In what way could democrats stop it?

            Scalia died almost a full year before Obama left office. That was his appointment, but the Dems didn’t bother putting up a fight because they were convinced Clinton would be the next president and wanted to focus on the election. Then in freaking late October 2020, days before the election, they once again allowed another Trump appointment without putting up any sort of fight or stall tactic because they didn’t want to rock the boat before the election.
