It would certainly be establishing precedent, wouldn't it (real question - my knowledge of constitutional law is fuzzy at best)?

I don't like the current court overmuch, but as foolish as they can be in matters financial/political, I wonder if they have the collective will to accept the validity of such a challenge. Given their venal nature, I think they might be more inclined to simply refuse to hear a case. Or maybe I'm just pinning unreasonable hope on that . . .

Congress established that they could change the 'rules' when they extended the original seven year time limit to ten years. That was accepted by the states, so how could they now argue that Congress does not have the right to change (abolish) the time limit again?

Not that they wouldn't argue it, but would they have legal ground?
