re: So was Roe V Wade what really prevented a Red Wave

They don’t want to codify Roe so that they can keep using it for political purposes. Same reason they didn’t do anything about immigration.

Why bother to codify something which you already understand to be “the law?” Do you not open yourself up to arguments that it was not “the law,” if you felt the need to enact it?

As just one recent example, I would point to the new legislation regarding the duties of the vice president in the context of the electoral college. In my view, the legislation simply clarifies that which was already “the law,“ but elections deniers are screaming loudly that the enactment of that legislation serves as some sort of proof that the vice president in fact had the powers that Trump asserted.
