Citizens United is one of the most damaging SCOTUS decisions in modern history. Allowing this kind of cash to flow into campaigns in order that Musk can demand favors from his purchased lawmakers is the definition of anti-democratic. John Roberts' legacy is going to land him at the very bottom.

Honestly think this is something that expanding the court has a good chance to end. End f the death penalty is something most Dems are not in favor of, not something that is a top issue for most people and thus not a priority for lawmakers, and which political insulation would be useful.

Lawmakers are (for the most part) not doctors. Doctors are (for the most part) not lawyers.
There is NO WAY that lawmakers can craft a law that bans abortion except in the case of medical emergency that will not cause doctors to hesitate to give medically necessary abortions.

YES!!! Disappointing that even the vociferous Democrats have buckled when it came to this suggestion. If roles were reversed GOP politicians would not have hesitated to do just that - and they’ve been waiting for the chance. Unfortunately most democratic lawmakers also respect the law and follow it!
Let's get 30-50 Democratic Congressmen to stand up with photo proof of the worst abuses from the epstein files. Epstein videotaped everyone with damning evidence to blackmail these men. Congress has full access to the unredacted files
