The “Obama Had 60 Votes” Myth EXPOSED | Why Roe Wasn’t Codified | LiberalDanU #politicalcommentary

Did President Barack Obama really have a golden opportunity to codify Roe v. Wade and just… didn’t?

That’s the claim.

It’s also missing some crucial political math.

In this episode of LiberalDanU, we break down the actual timeline of the so-called “60 vote majority” in the Senate:

• When Al Franken was finally sworn in (after months of recount battles)

• When Arlen Specter switched parties

• The death of Ted Kennedy

• The temporary appointment of Paul Kirk

• And the election of Scott Brown, which dropped Democrats back to 59

We also examine the pro-life Democratic senators who would have complicated any effort to codify Roe, including:

Mary Landrieu,

Ben Nelson,

Bob Casey Jr.,

Mark Pryor,

Blanche Lincoln,

and Kent Conrad.

Then we connect it to the constitutional reasoning used by Justice Samuel Alito in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and ask the uncomfortable question:

If the Court overturned Roe because abortion isn’t explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, would a federal statute really have been safe?

This isn’t about defending politicians.

It’s about defending facts.

If you’re tired of viral talking points replacing real history, this episode is for you.
