1. I have no confidence that a court will hear the claim.
Congress has authority over the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and all jurisdiction of the inferior federal courts. Congress could get rid of all the District and Circuit courts if it so chose.
The MCA strips federal courts of jurisdiction to hear claims under it. Section 950j(b) of the Act, to be precise.
I can't for the life of me come up with a potential plaintiff with standing to sue in order to challenge the constitutionality of the MCA.
