It would have thrown a spotlight over the less-than-honest tactics (related to using tax-exempt Churches for political lobbying) and the thin arguments. Without televised trials the usefulness of this challenge (which has a slim chance of winning, especially with anti-SSM Barack H. Obama in charge) is questionable.
