Let me see if I can find Mitch McConell's comments, he said that he spoke with Bush about the plans to challenge portions of the bill and it was McConnell who made sure that "Severability" was in the bill so that the SCOTUS could "cherry pick" or should I say "Pluck" out the portions that were in question,
be back in a few

Thanks, but we need to find the bit that Bush thought that "probably" SCOTUS would pluck to his satisfaction based on his legal advice, rather than just hoping that they would, and giving them the severability tool to do it, and in the meantime feeling he needed to punt on the matter to get out of a political box that he did not want to be in at the time.
