We all know the only reason neither of those two have happened is because two senators, Sinema and Manchin, have shown a spine and refuse to go along with them. Also, please don't bother with the unconstitutional argument, as we all know that if what the GOP was doing in the states you reference were unconstitutional they'd have already been challenged on those grounds. Both efforts include changing the rules to benefit the party advocating for them. Neither has actually occurred but you only seem to be concerned with one. Why is that? Also, please don't bother responding with a two page essay, I literally have no patience for it.
Talking a bill to death is stupid and unproductive. The number of members of the SCOTUS has changed over time.
Your two examples involve fixing something that is broken or rigged in the system.
Rigging elections via legislation involves breaking the system in which democracy works. That’s how I view the differences.
