    He could have codified it so it couldn’t be overturned, or only overturned by passing seemingly impossible hurdles. Plus this isn’t a shock, for four years it’s been known that this was on the table should Republicans win again, so any action would have at least been better optics than doing nothing. But it’s worth noting that Biden doesn’t personally support abortions anyways, so I reckon he’s happy about this (if he can understand what’s happening)

      Hmm, out of curiosity, where did you come to this belief that congress can pass laws which are impossible to overturn or require hurdles to jump through to overtur? Did you read an article on it? Is the idea to couple an abortion bill with another bill trying to strip Supreme Court review authority?

      Isn’t every law equal? How would that work?
