Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.

“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”

She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”

    He’s been saying “soon” since 2021 at least. The article from 2021 supports this precisely, using his own words, which is exactly why I linked it.

    I follow a marijuana subreddit where his nickname is Chuck ‘Sooner’ because of his empty promises since 2020.

    I understand your larger logic points about passing legislation. My point, however, is using the word “soon” to string along a faction of voters, dangling the carrot.

    I don’t believe any support I offer will matter to one who argues disingenuously, however.

      You provided two examples. One wasn’t relevant to your point, and the other was a single example from 3 years ago.

      As mentioned, he’s in the Senate, so anything he tries to pass without the house means nothing. It’s not disingenuous arguing, you’ve just provided shit examples.

      It’s neat that you are part of an echo chamber that has a cute nickname for Chuck though.

        Great.

        Earth to Bassturd— my point is they are his words and his empty promises.

              You said Schumer has said “soon” more than two dozen times over the last four years. You provided one example from three years ago. By your count there are more than 24 other times he has said this. This isn’t trolling. This is calling out bullshit when I see it.
