The Supreme Court decided long ago that no severability clause is needed.

Got a refernce to back that up?

Apprently you went to bed too early a few weeks ago when Cuccinelli was on Greta discussing this very thing about the lack of severability language, and the fact that if any single aspect of the law is found unconstitutional by the USSC the whole thing goes down.

FReegards!

"Apprently" I did, and apparently you missed Mark Levin talking about precedents where the courts have found portions of laws unconstitutional without overturning the entire law. Let's just watch and see what happens. Don't put your faith in the courts, we need to win this in Congress.

I don't have a "refernce" but I have a citation.

"Unless it is evident that the legislature would not have enacted those provisions which are within its power, independently of that which is not, the invalid part may be dropped if what is left is fully operative as a law." Champlin Refining Co. v. Corporation Commission.
