This is beltway theater. Bill has no chance of passing. Heller is up for election so he gloms on to it. Flake & McNasty had a go nowhere border bill last year too.
I tried finding Senate bill number so that I could find its chance of passing in govtrack.us. But I couldn’t find the number. Would somebody please point my conehead in the right direction?
As a side note to the federal legislative bill-making process, the states need to amend the Constitution to not only require lawmakers to reference constitutional clauses which justify the bill on top of page 1 of bill, but all clause references need to appear before bill can be voted on.
