Forcing their implementation is the best way to build public pressure to bring down the law altogether.
I understand what you're saying.
But, if these politically toxic provisions are implemented because of the suit, who is likely to be blamed? And who is likely to bear the onus for the chaos that will then ensue?
I know, I know. It's not only unfair, it's inaccurate. But you know damn good and well that the Democrat media machine is going to pin the blame on the Republicans -- who will be unable to defend themselves.
On the other hand, had they picked an issue where the desired legal outcome would also produce a desirable political outcome, they would clearly get credit for their actions.

I think even the present GOP leadership will be able to come up with the following defenses:
1) We don’t like the law either. In fact, not one Republican in either the House or Senate voted for it.
2) We do respect the Constitution, however, and sued to prevent the President from violating it, which he was doing, according to the court.
3) We stand ready to take up a reconsideration of the law that is causing all these problems.
4) The more Republicans you re-elect, and the more Democrats you turn out of office, the better the chances that this law will be repealed so we can start over and design a plan that addresses the real weaknesses of our health system.
Not eloquent, I’ll grant you, but factual.
