For exactly the same reason a poll tax will get tossed out.

Currently, barring SCOTUS reinterpretation, it is an enumerated right. You can't tax people to exercise an enumerated right, be it voting, assembling, or making political speech.

Just an idiotic feel-good motion.

The only part that will pass muster is being civilly liable for negligent or accidental use, which is arguably already the case.
