In the wake of Monday's ruling by a Florida judge to toss out ObamaCare as a result of the individual mandate, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell asked liberal constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley Tuesday if the Democrats made a mistake not writing a severability clause into the law.
Turley surprisingly answered, "It was a colossal mistake"

Gotta pass it to find out what’s in it....DUMBA$$E$!
Really?
I heard it was in an original draft and was taken out. Intentionally.
Bawahahahaha
Priceless!
Got ta vote for it before ya get to see whats in it! ROTFLMAO
Schadenfreude! (or how ever it is you spell that)
Indeed, a terrible, juicy, wonderful, delicious mistake.
Someone needs to send a memo to Obama and Jarrett.
They seem to disagree (and or not care) with this liberal liberal constitutional lawyer.
After all, courts rule that ignorance of the law is not a defense every day.
In other words the Dolts screwed the pooch.
I heard it was spelled ‘Schadenfreep’. At least in this context. ;)
In other words the Dolts screwed the pooch.
And they told him to shut up and take it.
You are correct. The issue isn’t that it wasn’t put in the bill, it is:
1. It was originally in the bill and then taken out;
2. The Obama Administration is arguing that the individual mandate cannot be separated from the bill.
Courts can find severability in bills that don’t have the verbiage...but if the remainder of a bill were to become meaningless upon striking an unconstitutional provision, then the whole thing gets tossed. Obama’s legal team is playing minor league ball with their arguments.
They knew it was left out. I cannot believe some fo the crap people fall for here on FR. They probably believe that liar Anderson Cooper got punched 10 times today.
Egypt is Obama’s “Wag The Camel” to distract you.
I have never had a lawyer tell me to sign something without reading and understanding 1st. Guess when you have a House full of lawyers that little detail is over looked.
Someone said the removability of the severability clause was an “I dare ya” from 0bama to anyone who would challenge any part of it.
They had to pass it as is when Scott Brown took Kennedy’s seat. That left them w/a huge turd that has no chance of passing SC.
Pray for America
The whole stinking mess was a mistake.
Why is newsbusters always thrown into bloggers?
Sometimes blogs are the news. I think this is important info. regarding ObamaCare that the MSM will not report...
Palin’s TV show live thread gets breaking news. An excellent sleeeper cell thread on terrorists got jacked off of breaking news.
Oh well I will just post everything that is not Palin passing gas in news and current events from now on.
It was an error, yes, but it was a deliberate calculation. It was not a blind mistake.
The reason: Reid could not keep the last few corrupt additions (Landrieu, Nelson of FL, Nelson of NE) to his sleazy deal on board if a severability provision had been added. Everyone wanted his or her take; select senators feared that if one corrupt provision got struck down by a Court then they would all fall together.
Just more evidence that the RATS were as thick as thieves.
