Yep, this puts the Democrats in a bind.
Would Democrats really go find a judge, to issue an injunction, against the extension of unemployment, against moratorium on evictions, against payroll tax relief????
Republicans will go find a judge... and they’ll win... in court
If they sue and win, the President will campaign that it is the Democrats who are against government aid to the Covid unemployed. If they lose, Trump will claim all the credit. If they come back to negotiate, they will have to cave.

“...against moratorium on evictions...”
I think I heard that Madame Pelosi herself said this was a good idea and within his POTUS powers and she supported it. Don’t hold me to that, but I’m pretty sure.
Rats are going to say this costs more than what they were proposing.
