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

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

They use that on most bills but forgot it on this one...and they can't go back to fix it because they no longer have the votes. To top that off, a number of Dems are now saying they are against it.

How can we pick and choose parts? "We" won't be allowed to, the Supreme Court will. Supreme Court appointments are very important.
