It was too valuable a political football to do away with by federal law. They claim they never had the votes, yet Obama had them. He had a 60 vote filibuster proof majority for 4 months of his first year. Long enough to get a ton of shit done had they gotten the bills written, lined up and ready to go the minute the 60th Senator was sworn in and ready to cast a vote. They didn't b/c why bother, Roe wasn't going anywhere.

Yep, it was a great tool to use to get people to vote for them.

How I loath the Dems and Obama!
