Pelosi has incredible political savvy, but I'm not sure what her play is. She could be biding her time, trying to build public support for impeachment. But when it comes to Donald Trump, the American people are already dug in where they stand. Or she could be trying to delay, pushing things so far out that the argument effectively becomes "well the primaries are in a few months." Republicans have spent the past 25 years successfully framing impeachment as a political issue, rather than a constitutional issue. I think Pelosi feels like she has control right now, when that's hardly the case.

The feel when you pass an unconstitutional law with the sole purpose of appealing to SCOTUS to rule that an unconstitutional law is actually constitutional.

I don't know if this answers your question, but two thoughts: Banning actions is stupid, and doing so generally doesn't lower the occurrence of such actions. Banning manufactured items though makes a lot of sense, and is typically high successful. Guns kill people. Abortions don't kill people.
