Senator Joe Manchin

They brought little children here now who are adults serving in the military and basically professing teaching in our schools.

These are productive, supportive.

They love the country as much, if not more than Americans that were born here.

So this is what gets me.

We had that bill and couldn't get it because they were afraid that he would lose the right.

He lost them anyway.

The far right wasn't going.

Tea Party at that time wasn't going to go.

But John could have put it on the floor and it would have passed.

Well, let's look here.

Let me give you the easiest thing we could have done.

There's two things, don't ask, don't tell.

And then you have the Dobbs Act as far as on abortion.

Okay, with the Supreme Court?

Sure.

Well, the Supreme Court, you know, on that, we've lived with Roe v. Wade for 50 years of unprecedented law.

It was unprecedented law, I mean.

We never codified it through the legislature, but the courts, it was precedent.

Now, all of a sudden, that blows apart and everybody gets torn apart.

All they had to do was just codify Roe v. Wade.
