Quo Vadis GOP?

[Jacob]

They will do it to push through the national abortion ban.  The party has become more radicalized now than it was then. 

Forgive my ignorance of basic American legislative process... if the GOP controls both houses they can pass a bill to outlaw abortion, but wouldn't Biden refuse to sign it? Is it worth it for them to kill the filibuster for a bill that won't be signed? Or is there a way they can force it into law anyways?

It might be worth doing to say that you did it, even if you couldn't over-ride a veto.

Thinking logically about the legislative process works misses the point.  This is a party divorced from reality and addicted to performative politics.

[Jacob]

Okay, my assumption was that they'd only kill the filibuster for an actual result - and you think that's incorrect. Fair enough.

But my core understanding is correct? That as long as Biden is president, the Republicans won't be able to pass national anti-abortion legislation even if they control both houses?

Correct.  It takes a 2/3 majority in both chambers to over-ride a veto.

Thank you.

Anyone who criticizes the above tweet is extremely un-American

He's just a Florida State Rep that lost the primary for the US Congress. But still...

Outreach to conservative hispanics?

Did Francisco Franco speak English? Or is this his cousin Francisco Franco from Jacksonville?

[The Minsky Moment]

It's a true statement.  Franco does now answer only to God and history.  And he has a lot of explaining to do to both. 

[The Larch]

Did Francisco Franco speak English?

Quite poorly, or at least he was able to readi it phonetically. There's a video of him sending a message to Britain at the onset of the SCW to defend his position that should be somewhere on Youtube.
