Marc Elias & Rep. Ro Khanna
Q: But what happens? Who resolves? Who decides? Who interprets the law?
It's the federal judiciary, and the federal judiciary so far has not weighed in.

It experiments on customers to determine maximum prices they can charge, leading to significant price variations and potential exploitation of consumers.
