I don’t have an answer.  However, I have not heard anyone in DC categorically state this will never be the case.

Perhaps illegal is too strong a term.  However, and I know this analogy is way over the top, but the first things that came to mind for me when I thought of it was farming in communist countries.  Farmers weren’t allowed to sell their crops on their own, they worked for the state and had to grow what the state told them to grow.

Please tell me why this idea is nonsense.
