      There is an old saying, ‘see something, say something.’ Democrats saw something and their only thought was turning it into a fundraising opportunity.

        A lot of people were saying something. A conditional amendment would require 2/3rds of the house, when did the Democrats have 2/3rds of the house?

            Sorry, are you upset I defined a goal of “what would be required” instead of your goal of “why didn’t they do something that would have been literally impossible?”

        I’m guessing that’s in reference to your reply to someone else about messages going out asking for donations after the supreme court decision? That may be in poor taste, I’ll grant you, bug doesn’t change the fact that it still wasn’t the democrats that made the decision in the first place.

        If Person A punches Person B, and Person C could have stopped it, I would still blame Person A for throwing the punch.
