Could KOSA be struck down as unconstitutional for limiting the First Amendment rights of adults like COPA was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._American_Civil_Liberties_Union ?

It's a fuck-ton harder to get a law flipped after it's passed than stopping it before it is signed into law.

And, in the meantime, you'll have to deal with the fallout from early implementation of the law while people scrabble to be in compliance. Those effects may be too devastating to undo, even if the law gets wiped from the books.

It's like how voter maps are still being used almost a decade after being declared unconstitutional because Republicans and SCOTUS are running the clock to make sure certain maps stay in play for the election and then going, "Oh, that was bad. Let's fix that now that we've cemented out power."

Damage already done.
