And at the opposite side of the spectrum we haaave……ah yes, arresting women for miscarrying [Oklahoma], enacting laws to force women [and children] to flee their home states [e.g. Ohio and Texas] to get medical care they need, while also attempting to criminalize them for crossing state lines to get said medical care [Texas, Idaho, Missouri IIRC], which would be unconstitutional, but would likely take time to fight in the courts.
If he had the Senate AND House on his side and wasn’t able to get it done, I can see the criticism, but you know right now if it passed the Senate its going no where with MJ as House leader at the very least. Unless there is some magical executive power that the Supreme Court won’t shut down a la Roe vs Wade.
Actually the supreme Court has 0 enforcement mechanism. And it would have no recourse should Biden do anything within his power to undermine that ruling by say.... Invoking a national health emergency.
But he didn't, and he won't. No amount of copious cope filled paragraphs nitty-grittyin about why he won't will change that. Hope and paragraphs of promises ain't shit when reality sets in and the best thing anyone can bring up when he's criticized is copious cope and:
"at least he's not a treasonous felon."
No need for nitty gritty, ignoring laws and courts is what dictators do. The hhs secretary is the one to determine a national health emergency and by law can only do so for a disease or disorder. Pregnancy is neither.
Acting like he hasn't done anything besides not be Trump is disingenuous at best especially considering the congresses he's had to work with.
You mean the secretary of human health services who reports directly to the president? We are talking about the same thing here, biden.
Actually he has the power within his existing presidential power. he just decided not to. Why, i don't know. But it isn't some dictator move. He did it and has done it for disaster relief. He has considered doing it for abortion, but decided not to.
He also ended Medicaid coverage by ending the covid national emergency, something he didn't have to sign, but did.
Sure Biden hasn't done nothing, but has done less than he could in my estimation. Saying otherwise? Well i call that cope. You can call it what you want.

thank you for expanding on this
Democrats could have had a landslide victory with no contest if they would just play the cards on the table and be on the peoples' side for once
not doing so seems fishy why would you not look out for the citizens and instantly lock in votes? who else could the politicians be looking out for?
The supreme court has demonstrated its illegitimacy.
The congress he had to work with at the start of his term had a Democratic majority, which considered preserving the filibuster to be more important than protecting Roe.
