Because America runs off of shirking responsibility to blame someone else: using precedents as loopholes to not have to argue a case.

1 state does it: 25 others follow suit immediately and it gets insta-passed because "there is a precedent". See: flock cameras, Bibles in schools, book banning, abortion banning, sweeping climate protection rollbacks, etc... Once one does it, the rest of the cowards use it as a shield like children: "B-B-But theeey doooo iiiit!"
