are there other parts of the Bill which violate the Constitution and could be challenged in court?

You mean the abolishment of your 4th Amendment right restraint on government to "be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause . . . ?

Apparently, the "fix" allows IRS agents to monitor your bank accounts and seize funds to pay fines.

But, of course, the 4th Amendment has already been tossed aside by the Patriot Act. But . . . you do feel safer don't you?

How about that under Article I, Section 7 that "[a]ll bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives . . . "?

The U.S. Constitution has been "deemed" irrelevant for quite some time. Once upon a time, only Congress could declare war, only Congress could coin money and regulate the value thereof and Congress could only enact legislation as defined in Article I, Section 8.

The only relevance the Constitution has to Congress critters is around election time or in getting a TV soundbite. Then, lip-service is given to the rulebook.
