Looks like Pelosi of all people is one of the few Dems with enough self-awareness to realize this might come back to haunt them. Which is a really scary thought because ... well ... it's Pelosi.
It's not completely off the table, though. She still supports Biden's executive-order commission. Edit: Maybe she just thinks it has a better chance of passing if it goes through the commission first.
Might also be she saw how stupid the Dems idea was to change the requirements for court senate confirmations with Obama and realize that if they pack the court with 4 new justices Republicans (if they ever get power back) will add 40
I don't think she fears Republican retaliation. Republicans don't retaliate, they just pretend that they have "principles" and just try to use bitching and moaning rather than action to garner support.

Yep. I want to fight for my country, but other repubs tell me to calm down.
