Hopefully, it's not as badly written as Prop 187 was.

For example, 187 had no severability clause. If ANY single element was thrown out, then the whole damn thing got thrown out.

Do you really, I mean really think prop 187 was thrown out by the government due to the measure being written badly. You can't be serious.....

FYI:

SECTION 10. Amendment and Severability.

The statutory provisions contained in this measure may not be amended by the Legislature except to further its purposes by statute passed in each house by rollcall vote entered in the journal, two-thirds of the membership concurring, or by a statute that becomes effective only when approved by the voters.

In the event that any portion of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect any other provision or application of the act, which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to that end the provisions of this act are severable.

I just read it, it has a severability clause.
