Of course if they didn’t do this you would still be complaining.

Force the veto, force the rats to run for reelection after having voted against it. Force the presidential candidates to justify their position on it.
The bill is more than political posturing. Pass or fail, It identifies the legislators who voted against the bill, and their exposure will be useful in future elections.
