Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Thursday to place term limits on Supreme Court justices, reigniting debate around the issue championed by Democrats in the House and the Senate.
Too true. Since the Republicans can’t organize a speaker of the house at the moment, I imagine we’ll see a lot of pie-in-the-sky style legislation come through Senate Democrats in the next few days. It will look great to have a bunch of action on the books to please their most extreme liberal elements for the next election cycle, but with the deadlock in the house, there’s little change any of it would become effective law.

Pretty much this - it’s the epitome of performative legislation.
