They're trying to change the law to eliminate the 10 day investigation period in a direct attempt to head off the Supremes ability to defend themselves against term limits and court packing with the Brunson case, which will certainly occur if they Court doesn't pull the trigger.
They've certainly telegraphed their punches:
"Reforms to the Electoral Count Act
A bill that seeks to remove ambiguity from the process of the certification of electors and that has had bipartisan support over the summer could finally be taken up for a vote in the near future.
The reforms would make clear the vice president’s role in certifying the electors is purely ceremonial and strip any ambiguity in the process – the same ambiguity that former President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to use to overturn the 2020 election results.
“That’s the bare minimum of what we need to do,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., on Sunday on “Face the Nation.”
The reforms are also supported by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who cited the Jan. 6 Capitol attack as a reason for support.
Over the summer, the House passed a bill codifying federal protections for same-sex marriage. The bill, titled the “Respect for Marriage Act,” was born out of worries among Democrats that the Supreme Court could strike down the constitutional right to same-sex marriage after it overturned the right to an abortion."
