Passenger ships may do that, but major freight vessel operators wouldn’t alter their schedules like that just to accommodate a relatively small volume of cargo to Hawaii or Alaska.

I wonder how long it is before he introduces a bill that will force the FDA to allow experimental treatment for those who are not terminally ill yet, but likely will be.

He’s in negotiations with the Arizona Governor to gift, er... I mean, appoint his daughter to his seat.

See, it’s not that hard to introduce a simple repeal of a law!

At what point does a brain disease disqualify one to be a senator?

With this batch of losers, it's more of a prerequisite than a disqualification.

Sound a lot like Fifth Freedom Rights that the airlines have.

Wouldn’t repealing the Jones Act increase the risk of a US seaport terrorist act from increased int’l flagged ship traffic?

No, foreign flagged ships can access American ports. They just cannot move cargo from one US Port to another US port.

In the last 50 years the Jones Act has done nothing to create American made ships. It has merely made it more difficult for shippers to move cargo within the US.
