      …I’m not surprised…

        It appears the author of the article is unaware of the distinction between existing law and changes in a law as expressed in a bill. The changes evidenced in the bill cover: limiting the duration of an emergency, a preference for keeping schools open, permitting commuting to a job during partial closures, prohibiting businesses from demanding vaccination from customers and a few other items.

            “…the federal district court in Tampa delivered a major victory for Governor Ron DeSantis against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its obstructionist No Sail Orders that have flatlined Florida’s cruise industry for over a year. Ruling in favor of Florida’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Judge Steven Merryday concluded the CDC’s restrictions are likely unconstitutional and overstepping their legal authority. …Middle District Court of Florida found that:

            The CDC cannot discriminately keep children and families from cruising;
            Neither the CDC, nor any federal agency, can require a vaccine passport; and
            The CDC must create an actual framework for businesses to resume operations, rather than forcing them to conduct burdensome and bureaucratic tests without any standard by which to be measured.”

                of course this can be appealed but I did like this: “When an agency claims to discover in a long-extant statute an unheralded power to regulate ‘a significant portion of the American economy,’ we typically greet its announcement with a measure of skepticism.”

                Yes, the “by any means necessary” part is existing law, not something introduced by the new bill.

                I have this fear of a door-to-door commando force jabbing all resisters. Here in Massachusetts the governor is threatening door-to-door canvassing to get us all in line. My paranoia is flaring up big time.

                    I think that I will escape a “forced” jab, but I have real concerns about the safety of people who stand up and confront the growing and sinister medical tyranny.

                      I’m not sure if they can force-jab anyone before the injection gets FDA approval (as opposed to emergency use authorization, which is its current status, I believe). Even if they legally can, I don’t think they will — it would look bad, and these people don’t want bad PR. I’m sure there will be door-to-door jabbers in some areas, and they will use a really “hard sell” and try not to take no for answer. Those who don’t want it must say no. I think they’ll leave it to the private sector to coerce people.
