Oh, good, Rush is explaining severability. This is a new take on it to me. Would Congress have enacted the bill without the individual mandate? I think the Dems took out the clause because they knew Obamacare would never work without it. I’ll bet they never thought it would become the defining issue of the program.
I’ll bet Mark Levin has discussed the severability issue at length. I’ve missed EVERYTHING this week!
Agreed, I’ve been wondering what the legalities of severability are, so this is great. In sum, since Congress specifically removed the severability provision, it will be very difficult (never say impossible) for the SCOTUS to say any part of the bill is constitutional if they throw out the mandate. Really good news!
And being a music-lover (although not the kind being discussed) and thrill-seeker myself I’d just note that Earl Scruggs passed away yesterday and suggest spending a few minutes appreciating this mans talent and wide circle of friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQIJuu3N5EY
