Quote:Rage can compel action, but rarely reason. Yet President Biden clearly wants to harness his party’s anger. He has long been viewed as a politician guided more by polls than principle; that is how he could express disgust over limits on abortion despite previously maintaining as a senator that abortion is “not a right but a tragedy.”

Politicians have the luxury of just following polls — but courts do not.

Biden’s “Hulk smash” moment is evident in his reckless call to end the Senate filibuster in order to enact a federal right to abortion. Seeing shifting polls, Biden has dropped his opposition to eliminating the filibuster despite once calling such a move “disastrous” for the country. He is now intent on making that disaster a reality.

It is truly the greatest example of rage over reason. The current composition of the court is due to Democrats killing the filibuster rule on Supreme Court nominations despite warnings that it would cost Democrats dearly. When they lost the Senate majority, it cost them not just three seats on the court but the Roe ruling, too.

Now, with predictions of Democrats losing both houses, Biden is calling to end the legislative filibuster. It is akin to the Titanic’s captain spotting the iceberg and immediately ordering the lifeboats to be burned.

Just adds to the current mountain of evidence indicating President Houseplant is not a smart guy and is suffering from a substantial level of cognitive decline.

Also tending to confirm this is still a traditional conservative right Country.

The more the kooks push, the more they’ll get pushed back on. North of 81% still believe in God, Faith and the Churchin.

Keep it up loons, it’ll be over 90%. We can leave you alone, if you’d only leave us alone.
Otherwise…

Politicians, especially old ones, don't think long term

Harry Reid didn't suffer from the filibuster on judges being reformed. He was put when the GOP took advantage of Reid's actions

In a similar manner, Biden wouldn't suffer if the filibuster is removed. This is it for him. Even if the Senate and House go to GOP, it wouldn't make his life harder. He will never have to work with a GOP trifecta.
