So, is just part of the law unconstitutional?

Is this the only part?

Does the USSC get effectively ‘line item veto’?

So, is just part of the law unconstitutional?

Is this the only part?

This is tossing a bone to conservative sheeple. It helps to keep the illusion that we have a legal system alive.

Does the USSC get effectively ‘line item veto’?

Yes, they've always had that. It's just hard to tell because they almost always simply do what their elite financial masters want them to do, i.e., inflict misery on the sheeple. If SCOTUS did their job, virtually every law passed by Congress would be struck down.

Occasionally the sheeple get tossed a bone so they can think they are "winning". This keeps the sheeple playing the game. If the sheeple were never tossed a bone, they'd stop working. Given how many sheeple have stopped working in the past few years, and how SCOTUS has inflicted such misery on them in the past few years, SCOTUS needed to toss the sheeple a bone.

No this was a "regulation", not part of the law.

No, SCOTUS did not rule on the constitutionality of any part of the ACA. This case was about the HHS regulations on contraception. SCOTUS ruled that the HHS mandate violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

They did not "veto" any part of the ACA. But to answer your question, yes, SCOTUS has what amounts to a line-item veto because they typically rule on specific questions about specific actions.

The way our judicial system works, the court can only decide on what is before it. All that was before it was the issue of the birth control mandate. All that was before it last time was the issue of the individual mandate. While the found this part constitutional and the other unconstitutional, those decisions make no judgement on the remainder of the law.... someone has to bring up cases on those portions for that to happen.
