Telling that Gaetz is shaking his head.
The best reply to him doing that thus far:
"Safe to say Gaetz has a problem with older ppl anyway."

Serious here. I am at a loss. If the DOJ sues you, who are the judges? Aren't the judges in America part of the DOJ? And wouldn't that be a conflict of interest?
(A technical question. The merits of the lawsuit are obvious and worthy).

Federal law so federal judges. No, federal judges are not part of the DOJ, they are part of the federal judiciary. No, there's no conflict of interest.

The federal government sues states all the time. A close friend works for the DOJ department that oversees that the Americans with Disabilities Act is enforced. Their lawsuits are typically against state governments.

I was going to post large excerpts from her article but when I got to her having a consensual affair with Ken Starr I decide to do the TL;dr and just post the Tweet.
It's funny how all of these people are speaking up now not when it would've mattered.

This also happened.
And yet, all of these people will get their precious bundles of joy vaccinated.

Serious question here, not in one of my "AITA" moods.
In which moral way is this different from the
Tuskegee Experiment? You are withholding information and vaccines and cures from people, for a disease that is well known and which can be deadly.
Or am I pushing the envelope too much?
(And excluding the racial connotations of Tuskeege)

Well I sure as heck can't like that, but thanks for the info @Ti.
Bizarre. I typically am not surprised by this stuff, but risking kids becoming sick is the most dangerous of dangerous games and I'd back away from this one quick, fast, and in a hurry. That blowback has the ability to send you straight to hell. I hope they are compiling a list of GOP to roast when there's an outbreak at area high schools.
I'm sure there will be some non-profit efforts to pick up the slack, but it's gonna be uneven with presumably the Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga areas having a better shot at continuing their campaigns with alternative funding.

Too much. Also unintentionally minimizing the level and amount of deception in Tuskegee. This is bad what they are doing, but doesn't rise to the level of that, lucky not much in recent decades does.

Of course, that is my "lovely" governor for you. He said that the Cuban protests are OK because the Cubans are pursuing freedom(break free of their dictatorship regime) even though their actions were similar to BLM last year. Also, the governor know that he will need the Cubans for his re-election bid next year as the race will be tighter than expected.
