    Cool, we desperately need this. Shame it’ll die in the senate.

      Shame it’ll die in the senate.

      It’s why they’re introducing it now instead of when Democrats held control of the house.

        There’s always comments like this. But I gotta wonder. How many bills do you think can and are voted on every congressional session? Do you think it’s possible to introduce and vote on every single bill they’ll ever support when a particular party has the power? Or do you really think they pick and choose and make a show of waiting until it’s impossible to pass? Do you really think there wasn’t another bill or lots of bills that they wanted to pass before that took precedent? And what about the time needed to draft and discuss the bills pior introducing them? That certainly needs its own time.

          Let’s put it this way: they won’t reintroduce it when they have the ability to pass it.

      If it didn’t die in the Senate it would die in the courts as the unconstitutional tripe that it is. Complete waste of time.

        Technically speaking, if it were proposed and passed as an amendment, it wouldn’t be unconstitutional. But then it’d have to pass by a larger margin and almost certainly wouldnt.
