4. he's not the king of the Senate Dems, or in charge of scheduling legislation

...besides, the resolution he's talking about is likely from Tim Kaine who discussed his proposal yesterday.

This isn't tiddlywinks, it's a political process where you need to not only organize the votes of Democrats, which he already has, but gain the votes of a sufficient number of republicans for it to have any chance at doing anything.

But sure, we can pretend that Democrats control the Senate and can just move a WPA resolution on the minority of members that voters in their past pique chose to saddle them with.
