Political theater from the Dems, though I'll admit it would be fun when scotus sues to stop the law then is the plaintiff on a case before itself where it gets to rule as to whether the exceptions clause is in that part of the constitution that is absolutely the law of the land or in that part of the constitution that is inconvenient and to be ignored

The conversation has to start. US health care isn't there, but it has advanced in my lifetime because the conversation started with bills like this being introduced against odds. Acknowledge that.

Another thing to gridlock congress, that would be sooooo effective.

Then isn't the supreme court essentially just a part of the executive (or legislature, whichever branch is doing the appointing)?
