That bottom one activates my inner cynic and makes me think this was all a ploy to get libs voting, along with every other political emergency of the last few years.

The timing gets the side eye from me for sure. They had 50 years to lock in federal abortion protections, Obama made it an election promise and then backed down, now it's a sudden emergency to rally the base for midterms, Biden's telling people to get out and vote... like, I know passing shit is never simple but aren't dems in control of the presidency, house and senate? But why fix something when leaving it unfixed can get people to vote for you?

It definitely gives "we need an emergency because we were going to lose the midterms" vibes.
