Incorrect. There is no severability clause. If one part is struck down, the whole thing is in the trash can.

Wishful thinking. The Supreme Court decided long ago that no severability clause is needed. Just watch, the Court will probably decide that something in the bill is unconstitutional, but I guarantee you that they won’t strike down the whole thing.

Wrong.

See: Champlin Refining Co. v. Corporation Commission, 286 U.S. 210, 234, 52 S.Ct. 559, 565, 76 L.Ed. 1062 (1932).
