After Clarence Thomas hints at the impending destruction of same-sex marriage in the recent Dobbs ruling, Senator Schumer emphasizes that the Senate is prepared to codify LGBTQ protections this year
Of course the Supreme Court will overturn Obergefell if given the chance. The question is, can the Democrats find ten sane Republicans who are willing to do the right thing and help break the filibuster? It sure looks dicey right now.
HRC is always right. I just finished Gutsy on AppleTV with Hillary & Chelsea & I thought it was really good. Now to the topic….as a lesbian….I certainly hope we can gain 2 senators & break the filibuster to both codify Roe & protect marriage rights. I simply can’t believe we have stepped so far backwards that we even have to have this conversation. We also need to find a way to rebalance the court!
Let’s suggest to Clarence that we overturn the Loving case, because you cannot have it both ways Clarence . We have Three remarkable women on the SC we have to keep uplifted, but the Supreme Court of the United States is illegitimate.
While I am slightly optimistic that Democrats will be able to hold the Senate, I'm not optimistic enough to believe that we'll get an additional 10 seats to enable a filibuster-proof majority. I am increasingly pessimistic that we'll be able to find enough "sane" Republicans to cross the aisle to work with Democrats even on centrist issues, much less marriage equality. Equality is obviously NOT in any Republican's lexicon.
