If a court invalidates part of this chapter or its application, the rest of the chapter and its application to other people and situations remain in effect.

Congress declares that if a court with proper jurisdiction finds any provision of this chapter, or its application to any people or circumstances, invalid, the judgment does not affect, impair, or invalidate the rest of the chapter or its application to other people or circumstances. The judgment is limited to the provision or application directly involved in that case.
