You should maybe read the whole opinion. You keep quoting 1 page out of 105. If you take the context onto account SCOTUS clearly tells us that they can only cut from a statute, thus the reference to a scalpel. They clearly state that they cannot modify words on a statute. So your reply to ano can’t possibly be correct. They cant slightly modify. But they can sever. Problem is if they sever all the provisions of HERA that require or state independence, then the statute becomes nonsensical. The idea that Congress would rather have the FHFA than not can only go so far. COngress clearly didnt mean to redefine the nature of a conservator. So sure FHFA can stay as a regulator but how can the FHFA-C survive if it isn’t independent. That makes a mockery of logic. I think I hear the bulldozers firing up.
