and I would DEFINITELY support something like that in Congress because I would love to see all the Republicans squirm when they have to decide whether to uphold the stupidity of their base support or go with science.

So, maybe you're on to something, you just need to change the focus to something that's actually still a problem in American society - which is the denial of science fact if it inconveniences a religion or a corporation.
