"Legislation" like this is political grandstanding to fire up the base. But as far as the radical wing of the GOP are concerned, it seems to me, they don't need firing up, and this sort of thing is bound to scare more moderate GOPpers (insofar as any of these still exist), not rally them.

Man's desperate and making foolish mistakes, IMO.
