"Especially given that there is no severability clause. The marxists who wrote the bill/law were so "smart" that they didn't include a severability clause. Tough luck.

I was very surprised this never came up in oral arguments, because it is my recollection that at one point the bill DID contain a severability clause and it was REMOVED before final passage, a strong argument that the lack of a severability clause was not an oversight, but an intentional decision by Congress!

Oral arguments can be rather informal and incomplete. No question that the inclusion, then deliberate removal, of a severability clause WILL be addressed in the final verdict.
