The dems are boldly lying about Roe and it's why I phrased my title like I did. That woman is at the goddamned convention so she's politically plugged into the democratic party and yet she's already mentally accepted decades of inaction.

The only way to restore Roe is to first cripple the power of the GOP justices. If the dems ignore that reality - then restoring Roe is DOA right now. Imagine the dems win in the election and actually pass a law. After that the GOP justices will simply say it's unconstitional. And that's that. The same is true for any congressional efforts to try to "reform" the supreme court. GOP justices can say anything they don't like is unconstitional.

Without radical judicial reform and/or packing the court everything the dems are saying about the court and Roe is a lie. Plus the GOP justices gave the president extraordinary powers for "official acts". But if Harris becomes president - she surely won't use that power to streamroll over the GOP justices or for any other purpose. All of this makes me insane.

Yeah and as another commenter pointed out, her worrying wording, "My granchildren will not have the rights i had" seems a freudian acceptance of inaction going forward as well

At this point I don't understand how people believe anything any politician says they're going to do. I just don't understand how it's possible to keep charlie browning this shit.

The very word "Trump" is a liberal thought terminating cliché. This joke of a "ban" is the only policy or position Kamala has made if you don't count the empty "Restore Roe!" posturing. Entirely unlike Biden - Kamala's team realized that she, Walz, or their proxies simply need to say "Trump" about every 30 seconds and the libs will be triggered with anger, worry and fear. So - no actual positions or policies need to be put forth to get their base to vote. And Kamala's team figures many independents and some republicans are triggered by "Trump" in the same way.
