Wow, you're seriously trying to blame a Dem administration for a Repub-appointed SCOTUS majority. I haven't seen that one attempted in a while. What's the reason for being intentionally dishonest there?

Well lets see, Obama let McConal play fast and loose with senate rules, when there was ligitimate argument that his stunt would have allowed Obama to just apoint garland unilateraly. Second, I am not just pointing out the timeing, and 3rd my disgrutlement is that the dems had plenty of time to pass a law that said "The right to an abortion shall not be infringed" but they did not because it was never politicaly convient, it was always better to hold the gun to the minoirties head and say vote for us or you might lose this.

Not only that, but the day it was overturned the Democrats had the House the Senate and the Presidency, they could have gone "OK Scotus, not a constitutional right, then we will make it a legislative one" but instead they decided to use this as a bargoning chip for the election that year, one that failied miserably. so no I give the dems 0 credit on abortion.
