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.

A provisional clause telling the Supremes that they can only throw out part of the bill is probably itself unconstitutional due to separation of powers.

[Congressman Billybob]

To the contrary, my friend. This law contains a severability clause, and those are normally placed in all laws passed by Congress.

However, there are two routes to get the Court to throw out the whole law, not just part of it, despite that clause. I will pursue both routes in my brief to the Supreme Court.
