License plate readers were an issue long before RvW was overturned. And what everyone seems to be ignoring is that the Democrats control the Presidency and both houses of Congress. Passing a reasonable bill, one that would garner bipartisan support, would be relatively easy. But remember, both parties value the issue, and the money and votes it garners, far more than solving the issue.
- upsidesinclude 4y agoYou are absolutely correct! Wildly, this strange new paradigm where everything old is new again might really benefit society. Progressives starting to understand the implications of mass surveillance and how it can impact them as well. I have to say it's enjoyable. Is it too late? Probably, I guess we'll see, but it is refreshing to hear the other side of the spectrum suddenly concerned about massive government overreach and destruction of privacy.
- sbelskie 4y agoDo you have a “reasonable” bill in mind? I can’t really see much of anything getting 60 votes in the senate.
- Blackstrat 4y agoSomething between France and Britain, i.e., abortion cutoff somewhere between 14 (France) and 24 weeks (British). Make it a clean bill. Leave out late term, identity and gender politics, etc. The bill would pull 60 votes, IF AND ONLY IF, anyone cared about a woman having the right to an abortion. They do not.
- sbelskie 4y agoI don’t really understand what you mean about keeping “gender politics” out a national law on abortion. By “leave out late term” you mean disallow it, leave it up to states (many of whom will outlaw it and have even when their are severe risks to the mother), or something else?

- sbelskie 4y agoIs there a bill you can point to in which the Democrats have recognized “billions and billions of the genders that the younger generations think exist”?
- Blackstrat 4y agoLook back at the bill the democrats put forth after the initial leak. It was never intended to pass. Just another stunt as most things from Congress are.
- tomjen3 4y agoIf you don't include late term non-viable, threat to mother etc nobody should vote for the bill.
