The trouble for Obamacare is that it doesn’t have a severability clause.

Yes, that’s the same article to which I linked in 141. It goes on to say that not having a severability clause doesn’t mean the whole bill gets thrown out. The SCOTUS left parts of Sarbanes-Oxley in place even though it didn’t have a severability clause either. The court has the option to presume severability. This is isn’t clear cut.
