Three more Democrats will be getting seats next month. Nothing is so urgent that it requires quick action. These amendments, if eventually passed, can still go on the November ballot.

They dont want them on a general election ballot. They prefer them on off-year primary ballots when they can gin up their angry base to come out and vote their shit through like the pandemic amendments.

They lost the election in November and, with it, control of the calendar.

Until the Dems seat the majority, control of the calendar remains up in the air.

Not really. Until democrats fill the empty seats no one controls it, but that’s also why they are clamoring for sessions. They want to jams some last minute things through before they lose their majority.
