The point is to prevent republicans from passing legislation that will ban abortion statewide, gut Medicare, cut off social security, etc. It's called a "delay" tactic. Otherwise republicans will take away everyone's freedoms.

They aren't using delay as a tactic, they are barely even out in the press calling this fascist coup out. They are so slow to react that they are still on sternly worded letters about things done on Jan 28th.
