In researching the potential effects of the lack of a severability clause in ObamaCare, it seems that it doesn't necessarily mean the whole bill gets thrown out.

Severability and ObamaCare

But the lack of a severability clause wouldn’t necessarily result in the overrule the rest of the legislation, which mostly have to do with spending and rationing — the expansion of Medicaid, Medicare cuts, and sweeping regulatory authority — and isn’t wrapped up in the mandate. This has been the Court’s approach to other issues, such as the recent Sarbanes-Oxley ruling, another law which lacked a severability clause, where they invalidated a portion of the law and allowed the rest to stand.

Thank You, Lord.

The angel still rides in this whirlwind, and for that we are grateful.

Striking this horrible bill down will provide a major economic stimulus!!!!

They must get rid of all of the mandates (especially the till age 26 and the manditory coverage of pre-existing).

"Neither the Supreme Court, nor any federal circuit court of appeals has extended the Commerce Clause powers to compel an individual to involuntarily enter the stream of commerce by purchasing a commodity in the private market. In doing so, enactment of the Minimum Essential Coverage Provision exceeds the Commerce Clause powers vested in Congress under Article I." - From the ruling.

Bingo!

[Hoodat]

This is HUGH!!! (and Series)

God bless Ken Cuccinelli, and God bless the Commonwealth!

[DarthVader]

Another blow to Obotulism.

[vrwc1]

YES! Thank God!! Finally, some sanity from the judicial branch.

[rxsid]

Great News! Lets hope that SCOTUS, ultimately, rules in this manor as well.

Barry care is unconstitutional!

This is a reminder that Elections Matter because of JUDGE APPOINTMENTS. This constitution-following judge was appointed by Reagan early in Reagan’s presidency.

[SaraJohnson]

Oh, thank Goodness! The Rinos are working now to figure out how to not repeal the rest of the unconstitutional “progress.”

[Personal Responsibility]

THANK YOU GOD!

[TonyInOhio]

Hey, this is a “Big F’ing Deal”!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

How long before this goes to SCOTUS?

[Munz]

I think this just sunk Obama’s boat.
If I remember correctly, they forgot to add the part where if one part is shot down, the rest stays.

I think it is dead!

This makes this a Merry Christmas like no other. Just think last Christmas we were pacing the floor as the Senate forced this through at the last minute. This Christmas it’s unconstitutional, the GOP has the house and six more seats in the Senate, plus control over most of the redistricting for the 2012 elections. Yippee!

[MinuteGal]

Forget Carter and Clinton holding the presser.

This is so bad for the administration, there's only ONE person clever enough to spin the ruling 180 degress.....the one, the only, the REAL......BAGHDAD BOB, who took the microphone to announce to the world that Iraq was winning the war at the same time U. S. tanks were thundering a few miles behind him.

Zer0 ignored unemployment. Zer0 ignored the economy. Zer0 ignored the wishes of the American people when they asked that the federal government protect our borders and sued Arizona. In his first 2 years as POTUS Zero focused solely on passing this horrendously large piece of crap legislation which has now been struck down by the courts. Zer0 is a failure.
