Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema WON'T back changing filibuster to codify abortion: Biden's plan to protect Roe in Congress looks dead in the water after criticizing 'outrageous' and 'destabilizing' Supreme Court

Manchin's and Sinema's offices told DailyMail.com the president's comments did not change their positions


'One thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court,' he said

Rights previously protected in Roe v. Wade, he said, should be codified into law

He also hinted at executive action to come on abortion rights: I'm going to do everything in my power, which I legally can do in terms of executive orders'
Biden also said he would be meeting with US governors to discuss the the issue on Friday
He flew out of Madrid on Thursday afternoon at the end of a six-day trip to Europe that included a G7 summit

Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema remain steadfast in their defense of the filibuster, their offices said, despite public pressure from all the way up to President Biden.

Manchin's office told DailyMail.com that the West Virginia Democrat's position had not changed in light of the president's new comments, and Sinema's office referred DailyMail.com to a statement the Arizona Democrat made after the leaked Supreme Court decision: 'Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women's access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever.'

In new comments during a press conference in Madrid on Thursday Biden said he would back an exception to the filibuster to pass federal abortion legislation and blasted the Supreme Court's 'outrageous' repealing of Roe v. Wade...........................................................

1. When is the vote? We may need 3 GOP votes

[Demsrule86]

16. why would we need three GOP votes?

[jimfields33]

17. Senator Leahy broke his hip

He may be out on medical for four months depending on how quickly he can recover. So we have 49 votes for awhile.

[Demsrule86]

24. I didn't know about leahy...that means we are not passing anything now even if we could get

Manchin and Sinema on board.

[Polybius]

23. Unless it's much more lenient than the vote May 11h, we don't even have Manchin

He opposed that bill, and Casey was barely on board.

25. I see an you are correct...

[jaysunb]

2. No. Nt

[NoRethugFriends]

3. You need to cut back on the hallucinogens

[riversedge]

19. I agree. I had a few moments of HOPE.

[NoRethugFriends]

21. Let's have no more of that

[Lovie777]

4. Nope . . ...

[Tickle]

5. Depends on the bill

They will not vote on abortion in the third trimester. That’s what was said when they voted down the first try

[Takket]

6. LOL

[Beakybird]

7. To quote Melania: NO

[PortTack]

8. I wish..but no

[In It to Win It]

9. Manchin and Sinema made clear they are not changing their minds so asking them

is beating a dead horse.

There is no amount of pressure that will change their minds. I don't Susan Collins stand on a carve-out for abortion rights. She should feel immensely responsible for this.

[LoisB]

10. I am not sure either Murkowski or Collins can be counted on; especially Collins. She will be

be very concerned then vote "no".

[LuvLoogie]

11. Not a chance

Fuck them

[Docreed2003]

12. Disheartening and insanely frustrating

People like those of us on this board understand that it takes votes to get measures we want passed, but the average voter is not that invested. They see Dem majority and they expect results. Yes, we need more senators & yes the midterms are vital, but we seem to kneecap ourselves every single time we get an ounce of political power. We have two senators on our side that have once again shown themselves to be roadblocks to fighting for preserving what's left of this country. The average voter will only see inaction and voter outrage is only going to carry us so far.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. No

[roamer65]

14. I doubt it.

[Demsrule86]

15. No they won't.

[Cosmocat]

18. N O T A C H A N C E I N H E L L O

They would legitimately have to fear for the lives, at a bare minimum would suffer unending personal threats and harassment from their brain eating base, and it absolutely would end their careers in elected politics, which they have so carefully managed to maintain by their shallow presumption of caring about this issue.

[W_HAMILTON]

20. Of course not.

For those that can't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans, this is Example #162,620 for their dumbasses.

[myohmy2]

22. no...
