Bobby Rush's coronavirus TRACE Act is a shocking threat to personal freedom
Washington Examiner ^ | May 11, 2020 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 05/11/2020 7:27:34 AM PDT by kevcol

The bill is titled "H.R. 6666 — COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone," or the TRACE Act. It aims to provide $100 billion in funding for the Health and Human Service Department for the purpose of "diagnostic testing for COVID–19, to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts ..."

The bill also says that it will provide, "as necessary, testing [for] individuals and ... services related to testing and quarantine at their residences."

the intention is clear, and that's to force every single person in the United States into a system that allows the government to monitor the physical contacts between every group and individual. Should anyone be determined to have been infected or come into contact with an infected person, the bill threatens to have them quarantined by force.

More unconstitutional functions for a department there’s no delegated power for the federal to even have in the first place.

Looks like it may be a step closer to gun confiscation.

You already have ‘doctors’ trying to get #s of how many guns are ‘out there’ or at least what households..and teachers etc etc

Once they can gain OPEN ‘free rein’ and be allowed to come and go as they please, another right circles the drain.

I ‘loved’ the irony of it when someone proposed certain days for entry into grocery stores alphabetically and when asked how they would be able to prove who was who, one of the IDIOTS suggested that since EVERYONE has some sort of ID, there would be no problem keeping people straight....

(I figured that with an apostrophe in my name which 99% of computer programs don’t recognize (brand new invention about 100 zillion years ago) that I can use the way my last name is spelled to gain multiple entries)

Politicians sticking their noses is things they know nothing about or do for nefarious purposes. Contact tracing is used at the onset of a presumed infection or possible spread not during or after. Idiots like this need to be exposed and smacked down hard!

Lets see where it goes.. right now it’s only at Step 1.

Step 1: Introduced: Needs to Pass
Step 2: House: Needs to Pass
Step 3: Senate: Needs to Pass
Step 4: To President: Needs to be Signed
Step 5: Became Law

“”because 666 just wasn’t enough””

The extra 6 is a jab at us....This was on another thread yesterday and I said that House Resolutions (HR) are numbered sequentially and I don’t believe this fits the sequence...

Don’t underestimate the treachery of Republicans, and Jared Kushner who is a Kissinger student

Want to scare bobby, propose an amendment to the constitution that all congress members must have an IQ over 50 points to take their seat.

So, we’ve come to this, having a Black Panther write our laws. How pathetic.

It will definitely pass the House but will die in the Senate.
