Yeah, they will until The Next Big Thing comes along. That's just Democrats democrattin', same thing they've been doing since I've been alive - finding something to blame on anyone else but themselves, and then blaming. Schumer added insult to injury by threatening the SCOTUS... again...
True to form, the requisite crowds showed up at the Supreme Court to issue threats of their own... or maybe just extensions of Schumer's threats. Funny how they already had pre-printed (not the usual hand-written garbage) signs in that crowd, now ain't it? The leak was leaked at 9 pm last night, so they must've had to rush to an all-night printer to git 'er done, eh?
Also true to form, they are ramping it up all out of proportion to what the draft actually said, in an effort to fire up their base by scaring the shit out of them, and that always works, because the Base can't be assed to actually read anything, so they just take the rabble-rouser's word for what it says, and the rabble-rousers lie their asses off to get maximum mileage from a minimum event.
The DNC started sending out fundraising e-mails bright and early this morning to try to whip the masses into shape for the upcoming midterms... and pick their pockets while they were at it.
I doubt that it will have the legs to last all the way to election day - they'll have to find, or make up, more fodder between now and then to keep their base fired up, and it'll have to be Pretty Big Shit to compete with their EXPERIENCE of fuel shortages, food shortages, rising prices of everything, inflation, and BidenHarris giving away the farm to the Ukraine while the people back home are starving right under his doddering old nose.
And Susan Collins? Really? Is anyone really fooled just because she puts an "R" next to her name for political expediency? If it walks like a Democrat, talks like a Democrat, and scratches itself like a Democrat, it's probably a Democrat, whatever letter it puts next to it's name. She's right up there with Liz Cheney, adam Kinzinger, a a few others on the list of sheep in wolves clothing in the DC cesspool.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
