This idiotic article is one for the record books.

You act like Biden is at fault because he didn’t personally show up in court to argue this case. He had nothing to do with this. You know what he did do last week though? Forgave a few more billion in student loans. Funny I didn’t see an article about that. You know what else he did? Appoint a liberal Supreme Court…
Yeah, this article weirdly implies the blame is on Biden for this decision. That’s misleading at best. What happened is some mid level lawyer in the justice department declined to take the case, pendant because of some obvious legal loophole that would have made it a waste of time and resources that could go to cases…
How is that the “Biden administration”’s doing!? Because Biden’s the president? Are we supposed to ignore how and why these situations happen?
This is why Republicans win. Democrats have to fall in love, while Republicans fall in line.
Thank you. Hillary? Socially liberal (not always, yes, maybe not even privately, but certainly politically in 2016). Trump? A raging narcissist beholden to the religious right. Easy choice, except that some people needed to throw a tantrum...I mean, vote their conscience. I hoped by 2020 everyone would have grown up,…
THIS. Good grief, this should be the top comment.
How many of you voted in 2016, and voted for Hillary Clinton?
Biden does not have a magic wand. He needs a Congress that supports him so that he can add to the Supreme Court, and have that Roe v Wade decision reversed. It has been over 50 years since a sitting Dem president has had a majority Congress for their entire term.
Some of you guys need a refresher on basic American civics. Until Congress sends Biden a bill to sign that makes abortion legal in all 50 states or a Constitutional amendment that does the same, there’s not much he can do. The Supreme Court has spoken and the only way to override that is an act of Congress.
I wanted Liz, but yeah. Say what you want about Biden; he’s not interested in turning the US into a fascist nation and tearing apart the Constitution in the process.
This.
No one’s saying it should be “enough” to pick that guy. Personally, I’m saying it’s the only sane choice. Is it perfect? No. Do I wish there were better choices? Sure. Will my taking an uncompromising stand somehow provide us with better choices? Absolutely not. It’ll just get that orange fuckstick a second term and a…
Would you rather that Biden/Harris DIDN’T send Harris on this tour?
Trust Jezebel to find a reason to bitch about Kamala Harris finally being put to good use. Jez may be back from the dead but so far no improvements and the hot takes still abound.
I have no issue with a man stepping aside to let a much more qualified woman speak on an issue that directly impacts women. Joe can cosign what she says, say he supports her enthusiastically, all while amplifying her voice here.
I guess I just don’t see how Joe is being a bad ally here.
It’s not that Biden is ambivalent. He’s a Catholic. That doesn’t mean he isn’t fighting for a woman’s right to choose. It may not be his choice, but he does believe it’s a person’s choice. It’s disingenuous to call him ambivalent.
This just seems like smart politics to me. Sending out a woman to be the countering face to the Republicans’ Old White Men Preaching About Abortion At Us is a no-brainer.
Hopefully now people can stop whining about her age. Although judging by the comments they are STILL whining. 🙄
