§1444 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

It says the law's powers are extras. They add to any other legal powers and do not take away or replace them, unless the law itself says otherwise. If a court throws out part of the law, the rest stays in force. Any court decision only affects the specific part and the people or situations in that case.
