Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been firmly put in his place after trying to present himself as an expert on Australia’s pandemic response. In a tweet last week, Cruz flipped out over a new wide-ranging vaccine mandate for workers in Australia’s Northern Territory, writing: “I’ve always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific. The COVID tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad. Individual liberty matters.” The Northern Territory chief minister, Michael Gunner, then issued a statement Monday that effectively told Cruz he has no idea what he’s going on about. “We don’t need your lectures, thanks mate,” the chief minister wrote. “Nearly 70,000 Texans have tragically died from COVID. There have been zero deaths in the Territory. Did you know that?... You know nothing about us. And if you stand against a life-saving vaccine, then you sure as hell don’t stand with Australia.” Gunner concluded: “I love Texas (go Longhorns), but when it comes to COVID, I’m glad we are nothing like you.” Cruz has not responded to Gunner’s humbling message.
“There's a loophole that's been exploited here or used here,” Kavanaugh said, noting that the same mechanism could be applied to limit other constitutional rights if allowed to stand. “It could be free speech rights. It could be free exercise of religion rights. It could be Second Amendment rights, if this position is accepted here.”
I’m kinda amused that Kavanaugh just said what I said originally; that is to say that this is a massive slippery slope.
The move by DeSantis comes on the heels of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's directive warning that National Guard members who refuse to get vaccinated against the coronavirus will have their pay withheld and barred from training. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, had requested an exemption for guard members in his state, which Austin denied.
So basically, Desantis wants to create his own private army that isn't vaccinated and isn't under federal control. The easiest way to defeat the FLorida Army - just spray some covid in the air and wait for 7 days - all the soldiers will be dead.
