I don't agree. The Dems weren't apathetic for the next election, the conservative silent majority is.
Row-v-Wade is a keystone issue for Dems, and the additional twist of the knife from Thomas suggesting other key SCOTUS rulings could be at question are all squarely targeted on the Dems as well. This is akin to Republicans getting hit with negation of the 2A IMHO.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was an emergency push to add 4 additional seats to the SCOTUS with the sitting president to select for immediate placement.
It is not implausible for them to push for more justices before the midterms. The Republicans seem to be running cover for the Dems as well.
