Bit idea: Get this passed and then overturned by the supreme Court
Another bit idea: It dies as a bill in the senate because the dems refuse to kill the filibuster.
Well it's not like it's gonna get out of the house either
Biden has a plan that the dems will try to do (or pretend to try to do) after election day if Biden wins and the dems control congress. Then it could die in the senate.
