As a wise dude once said: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." What you're expecting now, is one of those other forms of goverment that clearly deviates from the way it was designed. Apparently the expectation is that if you pile up invective you can trump the legislative process.

The fact is that the act has been passed. It was challenged in the Supreme Court. The challenge did not succeed in delaying or overturning the bill.

The rest is smokescreen, since it doesn't matter how much invective or allegation can be stacked up. What matters who is voted into power and is able to pass or repeal bills. The others are entitled to holler and decry, but demanding re litigation of a passed act as the price of government? Nope.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
