    Why would they? A move like this directly benefits democrats. I promise democrats would not be pushing for this if they had the majority. This is a political strategy, not a quest for just governance.

      Actually it benefits everyone. There are a ton of reasons why this should be a bipartisan issue, but expecting people to think long-term is, of course, a fool’s errand. I also think that most people, including most politicians, haven’t really educated themselves on the subject and haven’t really thought it through in terms of what it would actually do.
