they'll seek to have the courts severe the mandate provision, just like what congress did with the 1099 provision, and keep the rest

Congress didn't sever the provision, it amended the law. If legislation does not have a severability clause the courts have two options: strike down the whole thing, or don't strike it down at all.

i agree with you, i think this creates a precedent (if allowed to stand) to make piecemeal amendments to it...
