5. the thing is, they have had the capability to vote on this from day
one...I may have the #'s backwards, but all they need is a 2/3 majority and then ratification from 3/4 of the states. I was under the impression it was a strategic decision not to try to overturn Roe this way because it would fail.

Now I wonder if it is because it could succeed and then what would they run on.
