This is legal bullsh*t. Any future Congress which wants to change any provision in this monster bill (assuming it passes) only needs to amend the no-amendment clause first. Having done that, it can amend anything else.

Any competent and honest federal court should strike the no-amendment clause itself as beyond the power of Congress. There are ample statements from the Framers, and in the Federalist, that no Congress has the power to restrain future Congresses. Only the Constitution has the power to do that.
