I may have brought this point up before, but since there is no severablity clause in the bill, by taking out even one part of it doesn’t it make the whole thing void?

What?!

Isn’t there a provision in the that law that prevents any revisions to it? I seem to have heard of something like that when they we shoving that down our throats.

Since now we “make up the rules as we go”, little things like that must not matter anymore.
