Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 In other news, our friend Jim Harper has an excellent new blog at his excellent website, WashingtonWatch.com. We urge you to check it out. Jim provides the details about a bad new bill cobbled together by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid -- S. 3297, the Advancing America's Priorities Act. <http://www.washingtonwatch.com/blog/2008/07/24/the-coburn-omnibus-36-bills-in-one/> This bill is a perfect example of why we need the "One Subject at a Time Act." The bill combines 35 unrelated measures into one package. This is Reid's attempt to get around holds Senator Tom Coburn has placed on various pieces of earmark legislation. As a result, the bill has been nicknamed the Coburn Omnibous bill, even though Coburn opposes these measures. DC Downsizer Michael Launitz also alerted us about this bill because one of the things it contains is a "Big Brother" measure called "The Mother's Act," which would require pregnant women and new mothers to receive mandatory psychiatric screening and treatment for mental disorders (translate that as more corporate welfare for drug companies). man wtf Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myk JL 1,731 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 Most politicans need psychiatric screenings, but they would just end up using tax payer money which screws up the whole reason on why they need to go. Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
