I’ve been a dem my entire life and a HS social studies teacher for 25 years. Here’s what I would say to your points.
- What did Biden and the Dems do about a packed court hijacked by republicans? Nothing.
- Again, what did Biden and the Dems do in response? Nothing.
- Did the Dems codify Roe when they had the chance? They did not.
Could they have done these things? They had unified control in 2020. No, Roe had not been overturned yet. But codifying it did not need to wait for that. Yes, I know, Manchin and Sinema. Yes, I know, the filibuster.
I’ve been hearing those kinds of excuses my whole life from Dems. In 2008 it was Lieberman and Baucus. In 2000 it was the Supreme Court (Again). The Dem Senate confirmed Clarence Thomas in 1991, with Biden heading the judiciary committee and chairing the hearings.
I’m sick of them. I want results. I want policies I believe in enacted. I’m tired of waiting.
We may get to see if the filibuster stops republicans from passing a nationwide abortion ban. My guess is the republicans won’t hesitate to eliminate the filibuster to pass one.
The Biden Administration didn't even close the open Dept of Education cases against District 65 for the DEI training! First day the Trump admin shows up, they've got a hot live case against District 65. They can start right where they left off in January 2021. What exactly were they doing over there in DC to protect our interests?
He didn't close it, it was just put on hold because he passed some EO about DEI stuff early in his administration. The last time I looked the OCR case was still open.
I might make a post on this, because someone has to close this before Jan 21 or its gonna cost taxpayer pile of money to litigate over dumb culture war fights.

I just remembered this. I thought Biden closed it but I guess it was moved to the back burner. How will we find out if this will be pursued?
Update: I just looked it up and the case is closed now. I'd like to take credit for it but who knows.
