A wedge has formed between Black Democratic leaders and activists over the administration's handling of voting rights and the filibuster. Representative Joyce Beatty defends Biden's efforts, while critics view the actions as symbolic rather than substantive. The hosts discuss the evolution of movements like ADOS and FBA in response to perceived betrayals by the Democratic Party.
The hosts discuss the 1905 *Jacobson v. Massachusetts* ruling, noting that it allowed for fines but not the physical forced insertion of a needle. They speculate that if the current Supreme Court rules against mandates, Democrats may use it as a catalyst to "pack the courts" or blow up the filibuster. This political calculus is framed as a potential battle cry for the 2022 and 2024 elections.
