one that weakens it, but doesn't fully overturn. There is probably some scrambling going on behind the scenes because of the shit storm they've raised with the leak. I think the "leak" was a trial balloon to test the waters and they should be seeing what an overreach it would be to just overturn it. With another Pussy Hat march in the works for this weekend, there will be more publicity they won't be able to suppress. If Schumer gets his vote this week every Senator will have to weigh in on the issue. That should be good election cycle fodder. Hopefully, our social media warriors are mobilized for the duration.
The repubs can't afford to lose this election cycle, so they want to tone down the RvW talk before the mid-terms and keep it on gas prices. Dems need to emphasize both, the attacks on women's rights and the fact that repubs don't have any answers on the economy, they just want to blame Pres Biden and the Dems. For one thing, Dems should run hard on reinstating the Expanded Child Tax Credit. They should also hammer that gas prices are being artificially held high by the gas companies. Nobody likes them either.
Just my 2 cents.
