    Pretty sure someone already did this and the Republicans killed it by referring to committee. Because they don’t want anyone in an even slightly purple seat to have to vote on this.

      I think the majority of them don’t want this to get to a vote. They’re in a shitty situation where they have to convince moderate and independent voters that they’re not extremists or super far right – but they also need to satisfy their extremist base or they’re getting primaried out as a RINO in the swamp. Republican leadership keeps trying to carefully thread that needle, and the extremist wing constantly gets in their way of doing so.
