The S Ct held it was Unconstitutional. Line item veto was for budget bills. The special interest add ons for an appropriations bill are usually called "earmarks". The whole bill has to be approved, or vetoed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this problem needs a quick response as they claim... Off the top of my head I'd say the injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give you what you need, but you have to give me what i want. sometimes i can’t believe the world we live in. There was all sorts of crap in there from abortion to guns. It's absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco-d-gama Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Test kits. It has been suggested that unlimited supplies of fast responding test kits - that can be self administered - would allow the country to go back to work. In theory it allows the entire country to test itself on a frequent (daily?) basis. This provides for immediate diagnosis prior to symptoms becoming evident. The individual testing positive would have to voluntarily quarantine and be treated as required. The group who posited this was responding to the notion of when can we loosen the lockdown. Well you cannot do that until the virus is either gone, entirely treatable (curable) or you can quickly track and respond to new cases. In hindsight this would’ve also applied to the initial presentation of the disease in America. Everyone was clamoring for test kits when they were very limited and the tests took a lot of time to complete. Certainly more would have been better....... but unless they were this idyllic scenario of instant responding test kits for-all we were still going to have our pandemic. The best action that was taken was to halt incoming travelers from Wuhan. Italy did not do this and we see their mess. Still we have only postponed the worst case scenario here and if we do not adhere to our lockdown ‘strictly’ we will follow Italy’s example.

JJK So just how did the testers determine when that virus specimen was deposited on the surface? Only way I can see it is to empty the ship (or stateroom) and start day 0 at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah I guess it's running it course. About one out of ten posts are on the virus (looks like another Forum member has it, sad news) the other 9 are bitching about politicians. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito's and others made sure that was on the list. San Antonio/Bexar last night, I believe Travis/Williamson counties today. (I guess I should look).
