Vice President Kamala Harris gave a disastrous interview with CNN about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, refusing to give a clear answer on the Democrats’ plans to codify abortion rights as federal law. Unsurprisingly, Harris tried to cover for her Party’s failures by throwing cold water on the idea of eliminating the filibuster and just telling Americans to vote harder for Democrats next election. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

“Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN’s Dana Bash the Biden administration isn’t prepared to seek a carveout for abortion rights when it comes to the Senate filibuster.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that the Constitution to does provide for the right to an abortion. The ruling overturned 49 years of court precedent.
The decision has left pro-choice advocates scrambling for possible solutions as states across the country have begun outlawing abortion. Some liberals have called on the Democratic-controlled Congress to codify abortion rights into federal law. Currently, Democrats control the 50-50 Senate, but there is a 60-vote threshold that must be met to pass most legislation. Advocates say Democrats should attempt to carve out an exception to the filibuster for reproductive rights.
Such a measure would require the assent of all 50 Democratic senators, including Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, both of whom have been vehemently opposed to tinkering with the arcane procedure.
Bash asked Harris, “What do you say to Democratic voters who argue, ‘What a minute. We worked really hard to elect a Democratic president and vice president, a Democratic-led House, a Democratic-led Senate. Do it now'”?
Harris responded, “But do what now?””
