"Feinstein said she was readying legislation for Congress' lame duck session, which begins next week, to make scalping the tickets a misdemeanor punishable by a yet-to-be-determined fine."

Our elected officials are the ones who get to dole out the free tickets to the Presidential Innaugural. To have people selling them (on eBay or Craigslist) means that they, the elite, will not be the only source once the tickets are given out.
Why do our elected officials actually think they can win a battle against the natural laws of supply and demand? What's worse is how much will be wasted on trying to arrest/prosecute those who violate silly laws like selling your innaugural tickets to someone who wants them? Our elected officials (especially those in the House of Representatives) have completely lost focus on what they should be doing.
I guess the upside of them wasting time on a silly law like this, which will be nearly impossible to enforce, means they won't be spending time on drafting laws that are REALLY bad for our country.
