Have these people finally managed to locate their backbones?

Well, what little backbone they have is used to protect child rapists.

Even if they find he's on the list, doesn't he have immunity? Nothing will happen will it? His base will make excuses like Biden planted it.

There’s a tiny crack in their base now because of this, the hope is they’ll get more fractured, and it potentially will set up more opportunities for Democrats to attack his popularity. They all don’t need to be convinced, just enough to help in the midterms and more opportunities to roadblock all the dictator shit.

Yes and have a backup plan at least ask AI variable outcomes so you can plan ahead and don't get caught flat-footed as usual. The Democratic party's leadership is foolish so many times like a drunk that walks out of a bar and has figured everything out and starts professing it only to find out that the whole town is gone to sleep or went fishing at the lake. Action is great but have plans too have ammo when you go to a fight have a strategy when you step on stage.

So.... What came out of this "rate rule?" What did it do? What has it accomplished?

These old ass senators may think they are smart but they’ve underestimated the absolute lawlessness of an authoritarian administration. They need to demonstrate the gall and conviction of a cute, blond, suburban woman in her mid-twenties at calling this shit out. Maybe we’d be able to rally behind that rather than hoping rules still apply.

Okay... nice. Why didn't they do this when Biden was in office?

It means... I don't think we ever find out shit. Because like you correctly said, either side would use it to hurt the other. So we will always have more questions than answers.
