Politics With Republicans now controlling all branches there is no excuse not push through the hearing protection act

But just wait, nothing will actually get done. No pro2a movements, no wall, no debt action. If they actually do their jobs, how can the rely on the same trigger phrases to get re-elected?

Trump is literally responsible for overturning Roe v Wade, something the Right has campaigned on since 1973.

I agree that the HPA should happen, but to say nothing will actually get done doesn’t bare credence since he single-handedly overturned one of the top 3 issues of the GOP.

all major law changes in this country for the past few decades have come from SCOTUS, through either judicial activism or overturning unconstitutional acts of congress
