No, I don't see it happening.

Oh, they might somehow against all odds "succeed" in passing it into law, but it would be the definition of "pyrrhic victory".

It would be like riding in a glass-bottomed boat, through shark-infested waters, and spotting a shipwreck below, with a treasurechest laden with gold dubloons -- and then breaking out the fire axes and sledgehammers, and smashing out the glass bottom, so that you could "get the gold."

On the one hand, you'd "get the gold", but on the other hand...

What would they lose for it, their base loves three things: bashing America, pandering to special interest groups, ridiculous and misplaced feelings of guilt. This kind of thing is the Holy Grail of modern stupid liberalism. Smashing through the bottom of the boat is also a fairly standard thing for modern "kinder gentler war on terror" liberals.
