Key parts? Strike down all of it! What I worry about is the Republicans trying to “improve” it rather than repeal the whole monstrosity.

Would that not cause the whole bill to be void? How can we pick and choose parts?

If you pin your hopes on the court it means you are losing

Aren't you supposed to ask whether or not the bill you were voting on was Constitutional before kicking the can down the road for SCOTUS to take care of? Sheesh. Whatever you do, don't vote for this illiterate man.

I think they’re to chickenshit to do anything BUT try to modify it and add improvements.

I hear you but I doubt SCOTUS can strike down all of it, it’ll eventually have to be repealed.

Mr Pence, please don’t bet your farm (and you damned-well better *NOT* bet *my* farm) on the Supremes —
Defund (at the very least) and Repeal!!
Do your job, Mr. Pence!!

Severable vs nonseverable.
I know how it works with contracts, but not legislation...

What a strange way to say that.. I do not like the “odds” wording. They do not have big brass ones. They have none. Do not pay for it.

I may be mis-remembering, but I vaguely recall some discussion about how, in the rush to get Obamacare passed, the ‘severability clause’ (boilerplate) was inadvertently omitted....

They can’t strike down the whole thing, only parts of it. We really need to win this in Congress, not the courts.

Incorrect. There is no severability clause. If one part is struck down, the whole thing is in the trash can.

I like Pence, but this kind of thinking irritates me. It reminds me of congress passing McCain’s “campaign finance reform”, and Bush signing it, hoping that the Supreme Court would throw it out. No one had the guts to stand up and argue against it, so they hoped the Supremes would do their dirty work.
Which is why the Left see it as so necessary to fill the court with judges who don’t believe in the constitution. Because with this mentality both intellectually corrupt and cowardly at the same time, we wind up with judges who think they are kings because we have elevated them to kings.
I expect this next congress to throw out everything O has signed into law and I mean everything. If they don’t, we’ll have to have another round of Tea Party rebellions to turn another load of Repub incumbents out of office. Any Repub who doesn’t have the stomach for a fight needs to go home.

Any Repub who doesnt have the stomach for a fight needs to go home.Absolutely, and the I believe most of the newly elected Republicans will be fighters for us. Let's hope it'll rub of on some of the reelected ones that aren't fighters.

Even if the Supreme Court doesn't kill it, the November Republicans can defund it or pick it's vile corpse apart piece by piece, throwing each dangerous, infected part out one at a time.
