If a Judge finds it unconstitutional and the President does not protest the Judge's decision, its essentially dead, is'nt it? The bill has a provisional clause, only the parts that affect the First Amendment will be thrown out. And yes, those parts will be dead.

If the parts of the bill that obstruct free speech are removed that make the remainder tolerable to you? I'm asking because I have not studied the bill.

put a "does" between "that" and "removed", above.

Amendment will be thrown out. And yes, those parts will be dead. Of course the Supreme court never goes back and overturns
a ruling, nor does congress ever rewrite legislation, or disguise
it as something else, or have the law apply to a different group/agency.
And best of all the supreme court justices never die or retire.
Sorry I must have been dreaming like some of the posters.
