Dont get any hopes up. This is not only uphill, its a huge long shot. To think any court will find this unconstitutional, I have three words for those who hope for it: Campaign Finance Reform

Great, more defeatism. In France, the successor of Marshal Petain will embrace you.
Here’s where it can be defeated legally, by attacking the most egregious part of the new law, (one of numerous egregious parts)
specifically,
where in the Constitution — which was created to enumerate the people’s rights and to limit the authority the government can wield — does it say that Congress can make a law that mandates that the people must buy a product or a service?
There is nothing in the Constitution that allows that. And there are many places in the Constitution that suggest the government has no such authority.
That is clearly the most unconstitutional part of this. Anyone who can read English should know that. IMHO.

You mean the same CFR that has been having provision after provision struck down by the Court since O’Connor retired? It can be struck down by the Court since te re-alignment there. It just depends on where Kennedy comes down. He’s the swing justice.
