If one part of it is ruled unconstitutional the whole law is.
I don’t know about that. Was there a provision in it that said so?
From the article on Foxnews:
In his ruling, Hudson wrote that he is severing that portion of the law, known as Section 1501, but is not granting an injunction against the entire law.
But Section 1501 is the portion of the law that collects most of the money that is supposed to flow into the system from millions of additional participants. Without it, the law’s execution could be severely compromised and could rock the foundation of other provisions in the legislation.
The lawsuit is just one of nearly two dozen challenges filed in federal courts across the country. Another high-profile suit filed in Florida and joined by 20 states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses will go before Judge Roger Vinson on Thursday.
Administration officials insist health care exchanges and many other aspects of the law would survive and implementation of the law would proceed. They said they don’t anticipate an adverse ruling in Virginia or Florida to affect many aspects of the law.
