I can just see his fellow legislators snickering at him

I'd think there are at least two fellow legislators that are not snickering at him, since they were cosponsors.

That’s like me saying that I would give all my money to charity if I won the lottery, when I know I never will (especially since I don’t play it). They can introduce perfectly silly legislation to make their point and pretend to be serious, because they know darn well it’ll never get far enough that they’ll have to defend it to Mississippians.
