“...It’s not that simple...”

:::::::::::::::::::

Maybe no. Maybe yes. But recall too that this “legislation” has no limiting factors put in it (deliberately). Even Kennedy (most dangerous vote) recognized as a major problem. In other words, for this crap being upheld, it opens the door for unlimited powers of the Federal government in many ways. A clear and present danger and in direct conflict with the original founding documents which limit government power to protect the people, etc, etc.

There are many reasons to trash this travesty.

"Maybe no. Maybe yes."

No "maybe" to it. The justices themselves addressed this during oral arguments. The presence or lack of severability clause does not restrict their decision. They treat it as an indication of the intent of Congress. That's all. They can sever without a severability clause, or knock the whole thing down even if there is one.

You got it wrong, it's "Maybe yes, maybe no"; at least to the song.

Just trying to introduce something a bit enjoyable here; the recent government [in]actions are disturbing and we'd do well to take some breaks from them sometimes... you know, before getting ulcers.
