No Severability Clause In Obamacare? Wow.

Talk about a rookie mistake. But then, what do you expect from this lot? Maybe if they had let us see the bill -like they had promised to do- before passing it someone could have pointed this out.

I just read that Obamacare doesn't have a severability clause. Most laws with lots of different things in them have a part where it says "if one part of this is found to be an outrageous overstepping of our legal authority, the rubes in flyover country are still stuck with the rest, LOL!" Okay so that is a paraphrase but you get the idea. The 11th circuit said the individual mandate is unconstitutional.

With no severability clause in the law, that means the entire thing is unconstitutional. But the judges said the rest of it could still be enforced! What a mess. This is SO headed for the supreme Court. Be sure to pray for Obamacare to be struck down altogether, because it is altoghther bad.
