    I was just telling a friend, both sides want the same thing, money. The difference is, one side is willing to kill for it, and the other side is always willing to look away.

        Who was president from 2009 to 2017 and could have passed a different law? Who was president from 2021 to 2025?

          To overrule the SCOTUS interpretation of the constitution you would need to amend the constitution, required 60 Senators and a house majority. Since 2013 there haven’t even been more dems than repubs before caucus, much less 60.

              They never had 60 votes. They had a 58 + 2 ind caucus for 72 days and chose to use that time to expand medicaid to millions of americans.

              The last time the DNC had 60 seats if I recall was 1979?
