Their feeling was that absent the filibuster, we’d get national restrictions on abortions after the first trimester so the smart play was to defend the filibuster and try to defend Roe in the courts. I disagreed with the macro-strategy, but on their issue it made sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Something it’s easy to forget from the vantage point of 2022 is that when folks were first talking about filibuster reform back in 2009-2010 the choice groups were very opposed to the idea, so there was no way “codify Roe” could’ve happened back then. — PolitiTweet.org

What they did not count on was: (a) Kennedy being so committed to rightwing economic that he would strategically time a retirement to be replaced by an anti-choice justice. (b) Ginsburg being convinced of her irreplaceability rather than strategically retiring. — PolitiTweet.org
