    Codifying Roe would be pointless when SCOTUS has said it’s a state’s rights issue

      It’s pointless because it’s their golden goose. It’s only a states-rights issue because it was never legislated at the federal level, even when the Dems had a supermajority.

        I’m not following. The process to amend the constitution is far more complicated than passing a federal law. SCOTUS effectively blocked any federal law in their ruling that said it is a states’ rights issue. A federal law would not have changed that

          You’re right, Jeff.

          It’s just too hard to do. We shouldn’t expect better. How silly of me to think Democrats might do what they promise one day.
