They can't just do a bill, to my understanding. Not now that SC has ruled that it's a states issue. They can't override that decision with just a bill. The only way to change it now is by amendment to the constitution. Reps don't have a super-majority in either the House or the Senate, and they can't even propose an amendment with less than that. And even if they somehow bribed a bunch of Dems to support such a proposal, there's no way they'll get the 3/4 state-level ratification needed.
I guess you should quote the part that holds that restriction. A nationwide ban was always the goal. The SC knew this. I'm pretty sure they left the ruling open enough to include that.
Why bother?
Your understanding wrong. They can just do a bill. Couldn't before Roe v Wade. Can now.
They didn't rule that.
Congress can pass the bill. There is no SCOTUS ruling that would be in conflict with it. Same thing with birth control.
Also, so much for all that left-wing violence. Liberals were pretty much accepting defeat around 9:30 PM on election night.President Biden said:
If the democrats cheated to make Gallego beat Lake why wouldn’t they cheat to make Harris win? I’m confused.
I swore I wasn't going to visit the political forum anytime soon, but I did want to mention something and your post is related. My 78 year old neighbor swears to me that she has spoken to people at the Whitehouse, and the head of the Democratic Party, has written emails to Biden, Clinton, Cheney etc. and some of them have told her that there has been a lot of stuff going on, that ballots are still being challenged, that Musk and Putin have interfered in the elections and there are plans being carried out that are secret right now, but she's a fighter and she's going to try to save democracy for the rest of us.Apologies if this sounds off, but don't Republicans often engage in projection? Could it be that the election was genuinely stolen this time?
That is assuming my neighbor doesn't try to convince me of her conspiracy theories, or are they? 
Had the exit polls not coincided with the results, then we can discuss irregularities. Unless you are suggesting the exit polls and the election results were both fraudulent.I have skimmed over most of this thread, but when I saw. your post, it made me wonder if some of what my neighbor is saying might have a bit of truth to it. I doubt it, but still, it didn't seem possible that almost every county in the country would turn redder, including most in the Northeast, due to TRump's hatefulness and harmful policies, like deporting hard working immigrants, placing huge tariffs on foreign goods etc. WTF is going on! I'm actually beginning to wonder. Meanwhile "I'm going to wash that man right our of my hair."
I had not checked the exit polls and I'm not agreeing with my neighbor. I just worry about her and I tried to convince her that she sounded like the Trump people when Trump lost and I hated to see her waste her time. She got mad at me, so I let her go on for awhile.Had the exit polls not coincided with the results, then we can discuss irregularities.

But seriously, the Exit Polls are the check and they generally match up with the results.

Still I did wonder if she really did speak to anyone in DC, and if so, did she understand what they were saying or was she hallucinating? Plus, she is hard of hearing.
I told her that Biden has already said there will be a peaceful transition, and there was no way to keep Trump out of the WH, but she kept arguing with me. Oh well. I guess there will always be some people who can't accept that our country has gone off the deep end and we will be having to deal with a deranged, incompetent, senile older man as our president with a Congress that will likely allow him to do great damage to the country. My hope is that once some of the cult members in Congress realize the extent of the harm they are doing, they might grow a pair and not do all of his bidding. One can only hope. Thanks for your reply. Gotta go remove the brain worm,

When she said? There were zero polls indicating an obvious blue wave.About 5 million young folks who showed up for Biden last time just poofed into thin air this round. So it's either Biden had the magic that brought young voters out, Harris accidentally scared them off, or—I don't know—maybe the Democrats really did pull a heist in 2020? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Had the exit polls not coincided with the results, then we can discuss irregularities.

I think Harris scared them off.
Edit: And by 'scared them off,' I mean she convinced them things were so rosy and optimistic that they figured, 'Eh, we can sit this one out; everything will be fine.

My optimistic side says that they will fuck things up so fast by following their orange master, that it will quickly be obvious that they made a big mistake and then at least some of them will grow a pair and stand up to him, by not passing all the legislation he wants and/or by preventing him from carrying out some of his executive orders by legal means. I want to believe that some of them aren't as stupid as they appear. Of course, I could be wrong.Honestly, I think everything will turn out just fine. I'm genuinely curious to see what the Republicans will do with all the power they now hold. This is going to be quite the show. If they mess things up, there won’t be anyone else to blame but themselves. And let’s be real, the House is as good as lost too.

This is why I believe and so do many others, that sexism had a lot to do with her loss, probably with a little dash of racism in the mix. Still even a white woman didn't beat Trump. This fucking country won't accept a female leader and the conservative Christians are the worst, not all of them, but most of them. One who I know was celebrating his win as part of God's plan.It doesn’t add up. Kamala Harris practically mirrored Biden’s strategy to engage young voters, following almost the same playbook. I'm at a loss.
WTF! That is why I rarely go to FB, but my morbid curiosity got the best of me.You do realize we are watcging a rerun? The GOP had the trifecta in 17'-18' too.This time around, Trump has a lot more comepetent puppeteers.Honestly, I think everything will turn out just fine.
