It is on this basis that I am fairly hopeful that a Constitutional challenge to this law will be successful and the whole of the legislation shall be thrown out. 10 States have already drafted their challenge and are simply waiting for Obama to sign it so that they can file. Due to the magnitude of the legislation, it will most likely be fast-tracked through the courts and reach SCOTUS within a few weeks.
