Sic Semper Tyrannis that.

Interesting note.

There is no severability clause in the statute. If one part gets chucked - the whole thing goes.

Virginia has a statute protecting its citizens against individual mandates. Since the Federal statute is unconstitutional, there is no supremacy clause issue here.

The Commerce Clause does not apply. Since there is no commerce if someone refuses to buy Health Insurance.

It appears to me that the complaint leaves the Judge wiggle room to issue a stay on enforcement and execution of this act pending resolution.

I thought there was. But, it seemed like the bills kept changing. Good news if one’s not in there.

See post # 49. Apparently there is a serverability clause. I really hope this information is wrong or it's gonna take forever to kill this thing.

Excellent! Guess Pelousi et al failed to let their legal council review & recommend changes.
