I think the Dems have this covered already.
How can you litigate something that does not exist?
The Senate has not voted on a written bill as yet, just what COULD be written.
Since there is not really a bill yet, how can it be litigated?

Reading the entire posting will show you that this has, so far, only been in the discussion stages. All that the letter from the AGs says is that they want the provision removed, that if it's not removed, they will likely litigate, and that this issue isn't the only constitutional issue they see with the bill.
Keep in mind that if Mr. King is characterizing Sen. Nelson's attempt to assuage the AGs as "calling off the dogs," then Sen. Nelson knows that the AGs have standing on this issue to take it to Court, should the bill pass in its current form.
Here's the issue: if the bill changes at this point, all bets are off in both Houses, and the Democrat leadership knows this.
Yet, State-level officials have put on paper (with which we can subsequently hold them to account) that they're not backing down either.
