They would have had to figure out why it was unconstitutional first.

Because Congress lacks the authority to regulate that issue, and the tenth amendment exists. Issues relating to health or morals are typically left to the states. Arguing something like the interstate commerce clause would have been quite the stretch.

Yes, SCOTUS overturned Roe, but they wouldn't have dared to strike down your abortion statute.

For personal use I buy Visio displays, and have had nothing but success.

I have some smaller, older Vizio TV's that were great, no issues. I recently bought 3 large, expensive Vizio TV's and had problems with all 3. All issues dealing with updates. Had 70" get stuck in an update cycle, no fix, even customer service couldn't help. Other 2 repeatedly will not turn on after an update. Problem persists occasionally, but usually resolves in 5-10 minutes.

Done with Vizio. Sony if I want to spend a lot, Samsung if I want to spend a little less.

A promise to indemnify from an individual who is famous for not paying their bills... awesome!!! /s

Poor baby, so mad.

Awww... someone's mad. 😡

Again, your explanations are as vacant as the space between your ears. You've clearly used multiple words you couldn't even define.

There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist.

What are you talking about? The fact that I've repeatedly asked you when and how we can effect change under your model, and you've ignored the questions and repeatedly stated that it will eventually happen (as if by magic), that makes me a white nationalist apologist??? Congratulations, I didn't think you could make a more idiotic reply, but you did it! Good for you!

As such, you can go fuck yourself.

Further proof your vapid comments are as empty as your mind.

I don't want him to run, I'll take Gavin Newsom or AOC. Is that better?

You could save so much time if you just turned your account into a bot that replied as follows:

Eventually! Eventually! Eventually!

How? Eventually! When? Eventually! Why? Eventually! Who? Eventually! What? Eventually!

Well, Democrats have been pushing the AWB in Congress for about 30 years now, the first 10 it was law, then it sunset, and they kept pushing....and they have lost a ton of ground in that fight, just like abortion. Because while they were introducing bills, Republicans were remaking Congress and the judiciary. But sure, let's propose more pointless legislation... it'll work this time.

This is anti-progress thinking. It's laughable that you actually think basic legal reforms can't happen.

No one said basic legal reforms can't happen, you're creating a strawman. I said that this Congress and this Supreme Court will not allow gun control. If you disagree, by all means let me know where my error lies.

Also, let me know the path to passage rather than vague statements about eventually. Eventually is weasel language that means you have no confidence in what you're saying; if you did, you'd tell me when and how that can be accomplished.

I assume you've pivoted now to universal healthcare...but I'm not sure. No one said it's impossible, for that matter, no one said gun control is impossible. Just that it won't pass a Republican controlled legislative body, and I assume it would be struck down by the Supreme Court...same as gun control. Change both of those (Congress & Court) and you've got a chance.

I'd be fine with changes to all manner of healthcare and insurance coverage, including single payer.

You have to change Congress too. But you're still talking about 15+ years, and multiple conservative justices dying, and being replaced by liberal justices, and the reverse not happening.

So can we agree that we can hold off on the AWB for like 20 years?

Yes, there's no way Roe would have been overturned by that Congress or that Supreme Court (50 years ago). Just like this Congress and Court will not allow significant gun control. Republicans gerrymandered districts and refused to seat a justice, thereby changing those things. Thank you for proving my point.

Eventually, eventually, eventually...

Eventually a space alien from over 100 light years away will be named Steve and be president of Earth. You can't prove me wrong, because... eventually!

Universal health care has been on the national stage since Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. Over a century and not much to show for it.

The problem with eventually is that there's no measure of success, since you can never be wrong, it's just not eventually yet.

Again, that's all great, but how does it happen? What are the steps to take? Saying it will eventually happen seems even more dismissive than saying it can't happen given current conditions.
