I saw it in the Wall Street Journal.

I don’t think it’s Constitutionally appropriate for members of Congress and the Senate to be writing letters to the Supreme Court as if they were average citizens. Their Constitutional role is to pass laws, not petition nine black-robed demigods.

Sounds like to me they want to be re-elected and have figured out being pro life is the way to go

Why not? You don't give up your First Amendment rights when you're elected to Congress.

The real question is that should the Supreme Court strike down Roe next June then what impact that will have on the election?

This is a law school exam question. The cleanest way is if a case comes up through the system so the jurisdiction is clear. Whether Congress can file its own motion to modify straight to the Supreme Court is a very fascinating question.

I read your post in astonishment. Educate yourself. Members of Congress have been petitioning the SC since the first day of the republic.

Have you considered the 1st amendment? Everyone, including you, can petition the SC. A member of Congress has the same rights as you do and the Constitution allows them to petition the SC as you can.

Your ignorance is astounding.
