“If passed, the states will revolt over this.”

If passed, by a 2/3 majority of BOTH houses of Congress (fat chance of that), then it goes to the state legislatures, and it only has the force of law (as an amendment to the Constitution) is 3/4 of them ratify it (and the chances of that are somewhere between slim and none).

A mere law cannot override the Constitution...so the states won’t be up in arms. They’ll just vote “no” - if, that is, this bill is crafted as an amendment to the Constitution. If not, if it is merely crafted as a law, then it is as useless as tits on Bruce Jenner.

I seriously doubt the states know why it’s an issue. I would point you to the 17th Amendment as my evidence.
