I get what you are saying. But this really is just about start and end dates of newly elected legislatures. Today is the end date for PA's current legislature. That's all this is. They formally filed the resolution but cannot take it further because of time. The move simply adds a future case in the SCOTUS.

This isn't some sort of "loss". This is just part of the whole legal framework. The current legislatures terms are over and can only be extended by their governor calling an emergency session. Who is a filthy Democrat, so that ain't going to happen. It has nothing to do with "knocking off early" for vacation or something.
