Because it's the explicit goal of the people doing it. Why go after the CFPB and 18F and IRS Direct File? They've been very outspoken about destroying administrative capacity and making the executive branch a king to punish the enemies of their national conservatism project. Red states are already trying to roll back women's and LGBT people's rights. How does trying to overturn Obergefull balance the budget?
