This is like the bullshit mifepristone case-they didn't up hold reproductive rights on their merits. It's kicking the can. Overturning Roe got people to the polls in anger, they don't want a repeat of that this November.
They are counting on people not reading more than a headline and tuning out until after it is too late.
