^Rep. Amash's reasoning for his vote. He's not like other members of Congress, he considers his votes carefully and explains his reasoning for every one.
And not wanting to complicate the law by making an extra offense for something already illegal is a good reason to vote against it, this isn't something trivial or facetious. There are literally more criminal offenses on the books than teams of lawyers can even count, let alone the common man know and understand. It's a farce that that's the case and yet we also say "ignorance is not a defense". Literally no one alive can say they have not committed a crime because no one knows what all the crimes are.
That's very good reasoning, granted I may be saying this because his logic of "it's already illegal" is in line with my own thinking on the matter. ---
