Thank you for the answer.

I am not clear on the mechanics of it, but my opinion is that the “unconstitutional” bits are void, but the rest of the statute is intact. The “female” bits are a dead letter.

I could be wrong.

In any event, it is a limited argument. The legislature must correct the language at some point.

People are upset at the SCOTUS ruling and are applauding disobedience to it. That’s fine, but it is ultimately futile. SCOTUS has ruled as it has and this is not going to trigger some mass movement to amend the Constitution.

You are.

Obamacare was not passed with a saving clause, so if any part of it is found unconstitutional, the whole law is void.

Do you not remember the arguments here on why it was so important that the employee mandate be found to be unconstitutional? If the court had so ruled, then the whole statute would have been voided and the matter sent back to congress to fix.

The Supreme Court does not have a line item veto.

We have BLM declaring war on cops and whites. We have Mexico declaring war on our southern border and we have Marxist and homosexuals declaring war on Christians (and Jews), we have the GOPe declaring war on tea partiers, and Wall St/K St declaring war on the middle class something is going blow the folks are very unhappy. Will this tiger mass civil disobedience? Lets see what happen with Huckabees’ rally on Tuesday.
