Democrats are blaming our President. Combined with Republicans, President Biden's poll numbers are in the toilet. Because Democrats are casting blame on a Democratic President for the gridlock, these same Democrats are likely to lose control of the House and Senate in November.
I guess Democrats think Republicans can do a better job.
The Republican inspired Supreme Court overruled
Roe vs. Wade, thus approving government control of women's health when a pregnancy is involved. Our President strongly disapproves of the decision.
So do most Americans. Suddenly, certain Republican oriented Supreme Court justices have become very unpopular, and they have walled themselves off from the American people.
That has never happened before.
The AP reports, "President Joe Biden on Friday condemned the “extreme” Supreme Court majority that ended a constitutional right to abortion and delivered an impassioned plea for Americans upset by the decision to “vote, vote, vote vote” in November. Under mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to be more forceful in response to the ruling, he signed an executive order to try to protect access to the procedure.
"The actions Biden outlined are intended to head off some potential penalties that women seeking abortion may face after the ruling, but his order cannot restore access to abortion in the more than
a dozen states where strict limits or total bans have gone into effect. About a dozen more states are set to impose additional restrictions.
"Biden acknowledged the limitations facing his office, saying
it would require an act of Congress to restore nationwide access to the way it was before the June 24 decision."
Currently, Senate Republicans will not allow that to happen.
President Biden said that he would support making an exception to the
filibuster – the 60-vote threshold in the Senate needed to pass most legislation – in order to codify abortion rights and the right to privacy through legislation passed by Congress. However, two Republican leaning Democratic Senators, Manchin of West Virginia and Sinema of Arizona, are opposed to changing the filibuster rule. Consequently, the President needs two additional Democrats in the Senate and to maintain control of the House to codify
Roe vs. Wade.
Hence the plea for votes.
Combined with the public's indictment of the former Republican President for attempting to overthrow the elected government, the Democrats have a shot in November.
But only if the Democrats quit blaming the Democratic President for the Republican Party's opposition to Democratic goals.
I know that the last sentence makes no sense, but there it is. It's called politics and several Democrats are acting like children. They are not getting their way, so, they blame daddy.
