 I don’t understand what Kamala wants to do about abortion?

She is now in office, why didn’t she do anything about it yet?

Also, what will she do? Hire more democrat Supreme Court justices?

If the Supreme Court rules based on the number of its members and their biases…. wtf is it for? Isn’t that the definition of corruption?

Nothing makes sense.

 She is too dumb to know anything you just said.  
 she is a vacant avatar for the Blob. 
 Executive doesn't legislate

Supreme court sent issue to states to vote independently on issue which offer diversity of outcomes which is good

Stacking the court is negative political action and is essentially a hardfork

Federl legislation would be contested again to supreme court by states

All her talk is like some freshman college girl level of understanding 

She is an empty vessel to be filled with the deep state 
 VP versus President. Huge difference. 
 I agree. Still not sure how will she fix it. What tools does she have? 
 Vice presidents are largely figureheads. She currently has very little power  
 Can she reverse legislation with executive orders? I don’t believe so. 

So what power does she as a president have to fix this? She will have political power not positional authority. Right? 
 Yeah, the President doesn’t have direct action for an issue like this. Mostly due to a Supreme Court ruling limiting the options. From what I understand, congress would need to take action to reinstate roe, which the president could then sign. Or, nominate new justices for the court, but they have to be confirmed by the senate. We’ve seen them stall confirmations in the past to the point where I don’t personally see that happening.
