Notice how his plan isn't predicated on the amendment passing, merely on forcing the Republicans to engage in a way that (he thinks) makes them look bad.

Ah yes, shaming the Republicans into doing something reasonable, that’s been a totally successful strategy the last twenty some odd years.
Dems: "Have you no shame sir?"
Repubs: "No, I really don't."
Dems: "Ah. Well. Nevertheless..."
In order for shame to work, you need to have respect for the person attempting to shame you. If you don't, it just bounces off you. This is why a six year old calling you poopy pants gets laughed off.
