States can only move to permanent Standard time without congressional approval, and when you consider that congress couldn’t agree who their own leader was for 22 days, there’s no hope getting them to agree on something like DST.
The real question, if states are serious about getting rid of the change to DST, why didn’t they just pick standard time? No approval is needed to switch to full standard time.
Red herring to appear like they are doing something for the people. As was pointed out below, we tried year round DST in the 70s and people hated it so much we went back to switching our clocks. It seems that year round standard time would make the best compromise, but that would be doing something, rather than just appearing to do things.
