That's what confuses me. Surely they know it likely won't survive the courts. So maybe they are banning it to win points with voters, but it doesn't seem like something that would be popular with the voters. So I'm left wondering why there's so much motivation in Congress to do this.
Who are the people that want it? Lets put aside the people that don't want it.
I can think of the following:
1. American tech companies
2. AIPAC
3. "The Deep State"
4. Maybe "bleeding heart American boomers"?
Is this a large enough group to push bills through? Seems like it.
The reason we put aside people who don't want it is because to push back against a bill requires at least an equal amount of effort that it took to get it going, usually more (see right to repair legislation, fight over DMCA provisions etc.). So unless you believe the people that don't want it are really more powerful than all of the above it makes sense why its going through.
