GAME OVER, NO POINT TO THIS GOP GOTCHA! 0bambi will have it signed by 3am.
Legal challenges, here we come, but don't hold your breath. Look how long CFR took to be only partially struck down!

CFR? Code of Federal Regulation?
It normally takes cases years to work their way through the federal judiciary. Look at the challenges that came from Heller and Citizens United, just recently. They each started about 8 years before they reached the Supremes.
Having said that, this is going to be a little different as a number of states have already said - and some have passed legislation demanding - that they'll file suit. Those lawsuits will be heard in Circuit Court, not District Court. We could see cert granted before the end of the year, certainly before 2012.
Paybacks are hell.
If you have a bunch of states’ AGs filing a lawsuit then this one will get fast tracked to SCOTUS.
And you know the folks on the court will be happy to jam a thumb in Bambi’s eye too....
The difference is that the Republicans crafted the legislation and the Republican president signed it. There was no real effort to dismantle it. Same with Steyn’s argument that “no one ever got rid of the Department of Energy.” Nobody ever campaigned on that promise. This fall will be all about dismantling this POS and they damn well better follow through.
