[the invisib1e hand]

forgive me for repeating myself but: what if the mandates were just a ruse to push the case to the scotus? so what if the idiot mandates get tossed? The Act itself is implicitly declared "constitutional" if it survives.

Beware commies squealing in harmony.

That would certainly explain all the fake noise coming out of the Archdiocese of NY about it: It's all been theater.

You make an excellent point. While I don’t know that that is necessarily true, I don’t think it is that far fetched.

We attorneys know all too well that in complicated issues you ALWAYS give the Court something it can throw away because you want to win on the issue that means the most to you. Any attorney can tell you that they do that all the time.

As I type this, I wonder if you might not be on to something.

IIRC, there is not a “severability (?)” clause written into the bill that would protect individual parts of the bill if the mandate is found unconstitutional.

If any part is found unconstitutional, I believe its dead.
