I am from Alabama, so I can sympathize. It probably isn't that Shelby doesn't understand the bill or crypto so much as he is determined to get something he wants and has some leverage over a totally unrelated bill. Senators have all sorts of people advising and informing them and sometimes they know full well what they are doing even when they sound like nincompoops.
Everything in politics is transactional. This is why I am conservative-ish about federal spending. I do believe more of what the federal government does should be done by the states and perhaps even locally. Whatever Shelby is wanting probably costs billions of dollars and this likely means Alabama will be getting tax money paid by people from some other state. Alabama receives more tax money than it puts in every single year.

Why is it so?
