I will certainly grant that if the 4th circuit and the SC let stand the strike of Section 1501 it sure makes the issue of “de-funding” by the House a simple solution — they simply refuse to grant other funding and then deal with cutting funding to alternate enforcement and execution methods.

SCOTUS ruling or not, it is a simple matter to not appropriate funds for that piece of legislation. Congress doesn’t need a Court ruling on that.

Congress can easily not appropriate funds for the legislation. . .if they had the political will to do so.
