My big issue is that the tea party movement didn't really take off politically until 2010, when that caucus actually formed. Politicians weren't really 'affiliated' with them until then. And before that point, Teap-ies were much more old-school libertarian, and wanted less government, and would probably support fen-space for being at the time what they wanted (an ungoverned frontier, etc). It wasn't until the Koch's and other big-money people hijacked it that it turned from 'annoying but mostly harmless' into the vile hive of all the worst parts of republican scum and villainy that it is today.
Also, Isabella doesn't get elected until later, she's still a state-level senator instead of a federal level one as she uses the fame off of her brother's career-wrecking war-injuries and the incident that got them to promote her enough to get elected. Wait, hang on.. no, you had her timing right. *Facehoof.* Well, at the same time she probably wouldn't be signing this. She'd be spending her time trying to accrue political power and keeping under the radar, as she's still dancing to her daddy's strings at the time. Her sponsorship of the later bill had more to do with a personal vendetta against her brother when he refused to get under her thumb and a relatively minor part of her strategy that came from her letting her emotions get the better of her. At the time, she'd be busy trying to form a coalition of the less savory parts of the republican party in order to fuel her parent's vain schemes of trying to rekindle the lost glories of the family, so she wouldn't be poking at something quite so mad. As I noted in the other one, she's just fine with handwavium and science, and is more interested in power for the sake of power than actually suppressing it's use.
