Letter: Credit the Democrats

This is how the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for enabling the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade: In 2015, while Obama was still president, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was 82 and in poor health; she could have retired, leaving Obama to appoint her successor. She stayed on. Then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in a move to pack the Washington, D.C., Appeals Court, moved to abolish the 60-vote requirement for judges. The Senate, controlled by Democrats approved. Then, only a majority vote was needed to approve judicial nominees. In 2016, Hillary Clinton believed she would win in a cake walk, campaigned halfheartedly and lost the election. Donald Trump became president, and was able to nominate and have confirmed three judges to the Supreme Court, thus paving the way to overturning Roe vs. Wade, turning the decision, on abortion, back to each individual state. Thank you, Democrats.
