The error the Senate Republicans made was to seek to amend the statute. They should have issued a press release stating: "Although we were prepared to move forward to amend the statute to remove the 1099 requirement, Judge Vinson's decision eliminates the need to do this. The entire statute has been declared unconstitutional and we do not believe any citizen of the United States is obligated to comply with the 1099 provision, or any other provision of the law."

I totally agree.

My point on severability is that by removing the 1099 provision, congress has demonstrated that the law could be deconstructed. If the dems believe they will ultimately lose the individual mandate, they'll seek to have the courts severe the mandate provision, just like what congress did with the 1099 provision, and keep the rest. We'll be left with 2400 pages of swill instead of 2700 pages of swill.
