Biden and the Democrats promise to restore Roe by codification into federal law if reelected with a Democratic trifecta. Now besides the challenging senate map, if Biden got reelected with a Democratic congress, would such a federal law be overturned by the courts? While I think it wouldn't pass without the filibuster nuked, I'm skeptical such a bill would sustain court challenges unless composition of the Supreme Court changes. Maybe Roberts would join the liberals, but that's enough. Or are Democrats actually banking on Biden or any subsequent Democratic president having the opportunity to replace a conservative on the bench and therefore  alter the power balance of the court?
