I didn't think kids did that anymore....
Anythewho, it's the changing back and forth that's ridiculous. It never even occurred to me that we could make DST permanent, I just assumed if we did away with the changing, we'd stay on Standard time, but I can see the appeal. I'm NOT a morning person anyway, so I have no personal stake in later sunrises.
BTW, as Rubio acknowledged, this is hardly the most important issue facing the country, but getting some bipartisan, widely popular* thing accomplished in Congress would feel nice. It's a tenet of consensus-building to get a string of small agreements to build toward the bigger ones.

*from what I read, there is broad popular support for doing away with changing the clocks, though less agreement on whether to stay on Daylight or Standard.
