Where you been, ODH? Campaign Finance Reform has worn that CFR acronym for many years around here, which is not to say, I also don't it confusing.

We'll have to see just how many Constitutional or Congressional rules "get bent" by the time 0bambi signs this Republic-, jobs- and wealth-destroying travesty, but don't count out SCOTUS for a Florida Supreme-like smackdown, as nefarious items of similar moment may well be employed before the ink gets drawn.

Wer weiß?

Sorry. I see CFR, and my mind goes immediately to Code of Federal Regs. Blame it on law school.

What's funny is I even mentioned Citizens United (the case that the Supremes used to strike McCain/Feingold) and it still didn't register.

I spent a week looking through HR 3590. There are several constitutional infirmities that I don't believe will survive judicial review, with the "personal mandate" the most likely to die in the judiciary - that is so long as Roberts has his four amigos (and part time originalist, Kennedy)
