Applies only to VA

I believe that there was no severability clause.

If any part of the 2000 pages of Obamacare is declared unconstitutional, the whole shebang is void.

That’s right...no severability. Guess they should have read the bill so they knew what was in it!

P-M...

You are well read....

The American Thinker and maybe Mark Levin have noted that A-T article.

IMHO this is big and maybe a harbenger of things to come...

no severability clause.

Any idea why one wasn't written into it?

[xsmommy]

There was no severability clause and that is at the centerpiece of VA's suit. Cuccinelli argued that specifically.

You are correct. Wonder how Pelosi feels now about finding out what's in, or not in, the bill?

It’s a beech slap!

I've heard and read that too. Regardless, I'm not jumping for joy on this until Obama's "chickens come home to roost," and this monstrosity is repealed.

[HonestConservative]

That is correct.

This is wonderful.

There was no severability clause, so rest easy FRiend, if the SCOTUS upholds the ruling Obamacare is null and void.

I heard Mark Levin weight in about the missing severibility clause (which is often added in conference) and he said that we could not count on it. He said that appeals courts often picked one part of a bill and declared it invalid and left the rest of the bill intact.

He said don’t count on a moderate flaw declared unconstituional to bring the whole thing down unless it was so integral to funding or application that its abscence made the bill impossible to apply.

Hudson said that the mandate is severable.
