In all the confusion and rush, the Democrats forgot to put in the "severability clause" into the Health Care Reform Act. =)
What happens with Sarbanes Oxley which is now being challenged in court, and also lacks such a clause will be telling IMO.

IMO, my gut tells me that when it reaches the SCOTUS, I suspect they'll make some pro-forma show of maintaining some parts of the law to keep Kennedy on board and make a conservative/centrist majority. Kind of like Heller.
However, between the courts, and the Republicans holding the purse strings in the House, the HCRA is on a pretty good start towards the dead-letter file.
