Yeah I am sorry I have been way too busy and absent too much, but this is way too much not to talk about...

What is wrong with Massachusetts?!

In fear of a pandemic swine flu the senate passed a bill which will allow them to force quarantines, impose unjust penalties for refusal of vaccination, and invade private property!

This is absolutely insane! What is wrong when we begin the path back to fascism. Legalizing dictatorship style authoritarian action is so incredibly wrong!

Reference here.

The bill was called S.2028 and is now called S.18.

What annoys me most is the fact that this is unconstitutional!

"79 permit entry into and investigation of the premises; (2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or ...
120 public health authority or its designee, an officer authorized to serve criminal process may arrest
121 without a warrant any person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has violated an
122 order given to effectuate the purposes of this subsection and shall use reasonable diligence to
123 enforce such order.
124 Any person who knowingly violates an order of the commissioner
125 or its designee, …shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or by
126 a fine of note more than
127 one thousand dollars, or both"

This so obviously VIOLATES

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Which just happens to be the 4th amendment of the US Constitution.

Being that 35 out of the 40 senators are Democrats and that Governor John Corzine is a democrat (who just happens to be all too cozy with President Obama) I suspect there will be little federal (if any) action in regards to this.
