Why is that?

Hummmmm.

Because they think it will be upheld.

They have two plays:

If upheld, he gets to brag about it (even though 70% of the people hate it). Brilliant.

If thrown out, he says "I told you it wouldn't be easy. I need a Democratic congress and a second term, and next time it will be airtight legislation."

Of course, if it gets thrown out, it's empirical evidence of his being a failure.
