But would the whole law get tossed out or just the medical care mandates? That would leave the part for his well armed domestic security force, the part he may have truly wanted all along. (Que evil laugh)
The whole law gets tossed out. No severance clause means that if any part of the law is struck down, the *entire* law is struck down.
Knowledgeable people I have talked to are very surprised; these severance clauses are usually standard. But in the mad rush to ram the bill down our throats, someone forgot to put the clause in. And, since nobody read the thing before voting on it, it went through unnoticed. LOL!
