A repub. has been trying to pass a law to that effect for quite some time. Unfortunately, neither the law nor the amend has any chance whatsoever of ever being passed. Period. If passed, it would be ignored, much like the Cons. itself is ignored.
Yes, if the people are kept uninformed about such a bill like they were concerning the subprime loan problem then the bill will probably never pass.
BTW, got the name of the repub. who tried to pass the law by any chance?
