[Sacajaweau]

Is this plan D or E

Tell me when we get to F-U

[Cicero]

He’s “considering” it.

Isn’t that what he always does? Maybe in a few years he’ll instruct one of his czars to come to a decision, if the wind blows that way.

[Tx Angel]

Well!

Considering.......hrmm.
Why not consider flight restrictions and closing the damn borders!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

As long as we don't quarantine people who might actually have the virus.

NO PROFILING ALLOWED!!!

[Don Corleone]

The faculty lounge folks really are ten fries short of a happy meal. Geeez! Day late and a dollar short doesn’t begin to describe them.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I know a lot of true Americans who wish they could quarantine the Obama “administration”.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He is considering it.

Here he is considering.........

[Iron Munro]

They should quarantine Moochie.

She has done enough damage to the nation.

[Norm Lenhart]

Why would he do that? It’s not like you can get it from someone on the bus or something so this is just violating their rights...

[bgill]

Guess he's seen his diminishing numbers.

While I agree with Obama’s possible quarantine in principle, I have reservations with respect to possible constitutional problems with it.

More specifically, and as mentioned in related threads, with the exception of the federal entities indicated in the Constitution’s Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, entities under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate quarantine policy. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.

• “Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphasis added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.

[Dick Bachert]

My siblings and I were placed in MANDATORY quarantine — complete with a big sign on the front door — for both measles and chicken pox when we were kids. The local health people came around to monitor us before releasing it.

But then, that was when America was STILL SANE and the president was someone actually concerned about the country!

[grania]

How about doing a mandatory quarantine on a ship off shore? There's no good, sensible way to put them in a plane until they're "safe". And how about stopping the insanity of letting people from the Ebola zone into the US?

The time, expense, and depletion of medical resources in the US to contain the disease is insane.

[ronnie raygun]

Here he is telling us that im f-ing you but Ill try harder

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’d like to say, “it’s about time”, but I fear it still is not good enough.

Basically, keep them OUT of the country, period. Quarantine them somewhere else, maybe next to the airports, maybe at the consulate.

This is getting insane.

[Selene]

more wishy washy

so much blah blah blah

[Karl Spooner]

They must be really pissed that they haven’t spread it here big time, yet.
