"The bill was defeated once, what makes you think it wouldn't be defeated again?" Because each time those in opposition much launch a larger more costly campaign and take time out of their normal productive jobs. Proposing bullshit legislation does not cost the Congressmen/women anything extra, and at times can actually be profitable for them. They can just bring it up next week and we all have to drop everything again and try to defeat it. Eventually people get fatigued or decide the continued fight is no longer worth it.
