They GOP has control of bouth houses and just affirmed a Supreme with a oone vote margin in the Senate.  The GOP could TRY to pass legislation outlawwing abortion but twh things would happen. 1) a couple GOP Sneators would defect. 2) a giant flushing sound of GOP incumbents wold happen in the next election.  So yes the GOP could commit suicide politicaally by pushing such legislation.  That's why judges are so important.  Just like the GOP could never ever have gotten a law passed to allow secret endless political contributions from billionaires and corporations, but they got the court to do it to their benefit.

Justice Democrats is just being dishonest.  But what's new in the politics of judicial confirmations.

The "deal" was for the full Senate.  It was between McConnell and Schumer to have those 15 votes and no more.  The deal was honored.  Justice Democrats is pissy because the Judiciary Committee did not go home too.  There is nothing to suggest that the deal included that.  And McConnell doesn't say when the Judiciary Committee meets.
