I found this on Thomas. The sponsor is John Cornyn from Texas and Jeff Sessions is a co-sponsor. I thought they were conservatives. What gives? Lieberman I can understand but something just seems terribly wrong on this one.
S.2695

There are 3 Senators I would give you a dime for and 3 others I would give you a nickel for.
Senator Jeff Sessions is in the dime catagory. I have been following his votes and he is an outstanding Senator.
Senator Cornyn is in my nickel catagory. I have not watched him as carefully, but he voted wrong, IMHO, on several key issues that Sessions consistantly got right.
I simply do not have the time to check this out right now. Will look more closely when I do.
Shining light on the results of junk science so we can all see what is going on is the same thing as promoting junk science? Sounds like someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. This bill is a great idea. I for one would like to have access to this stuff. The arguement that we're all too stoopid sounds like something that would come out of the Ministry of Information. If anyone in congress can be trusted, it's Cornyn and Sessions.
