How can the govt force a business to require or not require proof of vaccination ? How is it constitutional ?
I just love federalism.
Power to the states and the people therein!
Go, Ron, go!
Then while you're at it, test all pets on board for symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and keel haul the scurvy dogs.
Term should be “inoculate”, not just “vaccinate”.
Vac Passports are an infringement of my freedom. HOWEVER, not allowing a BUSINESS to run the business THEIR WAY, is just as bad. (Gay Cakes?). We can’t have it both ways. If we believe vac passports on ships are an infringement of our PERSONAL freedom, then we don’t take a cruise. People not using the cruise lines, for this reason, will make the cruise line change. But such a “business practice” should not be “governed” by the government.
Good job Florida.
As expected another hurdle exists for Florida Cruise ship departures this summer. -Tom
The only ‘hurdle’ seems to be these absurd requirements, by the cruise lines.
In an email, DeSantis press secretary, Christina Pushaw, said that the CDC’s vaccine guidance for cruise lines was “coercive” and pushing lines to violate Florida state law.
“The CDC has no legal authority to set any sort of requirements to cruise,” she said. “Moreover, the CDC went on record admitting that the federal government chose not to make a legal requirement for vaccine passports. Now they provide coercive guidance, in the absence of any federal law or congressional authorization. In short, the CDC is pushing cruise ships to violate Florida law, in order to comply with CDC ‘guidance’ that is not legally binding.”
Very clear and well stated!
In any case, I doubt the law will be upheld, private companies can deny service for many reasons, including health and measures. In any case, the lines will find a state willing to accommodate cruises. Replacing the big three lines will be an impossibility, but the terminals can be used for something else. And the land based workers can learn to code. To say the least an impractical position from Florida.
Now I finally have a reason to take a cruise.
Papers please: NO!
Good
IOW no yellow stars for free Americans in Florida
So De Santis sues the federal government to allow the cruise industry to re-start. And then he passes a law in his own state that basically makes it impossible for them to re-start anyway.
Is every GOP politician a total ass-hat?
Ron DeSantis attempts to prevent cruise lines docked in Florida from otherizing unvaccinated passengers.
That’s how I see it.
Time for another tea party?
No.
The Governor has this handled.
