Not at all, the Supreme Court does not interfere in parliamentary affairs of the Congress, only in the “substance” when the court has its own political interest. The American people can’t understand.

This can be brought to the court by any by any citizen(they have leagal standing) because its in the Constitution.
The Court does strike down laws that are clearly unconstitutional. And Especially when it was easy for Congress to rectify the situation.
I’m beginning to think this would be a slam dunk. The court would note that the Senate Bill exists, and was passed by the Senate, and that all the House has to do to pass it is hold a simple vote.
Therefore, there would be no reason NOT to overturn them trying to enact it without a vote. This isn’t procedures.
BTW, self-executing rules have NEVER been used to say that a bill has passed. They are used to say that AMENDMENTS to a bill have “passed” and are incorporated into the bill. THe final bills have always been voted on. No language has ever gone to the President simply by a rule vote, without a vote on the final measure.
If they were attaching the Senate bill to the reconciliation, they could do so with a rule. In fact, that’s probably how they would have done it, in order to avoid a direct vote on the Senate bill on the floor. But that reconciliation bill would have had to go back to the senate with the Senate language stuck to it, and been voted on by the Senate again.
