Morris must be watching a different debate than me.
An “opt in” makes no sense on vaccinations. The point of vaccinations are meant to be given to most people, or it won’t work.
And there was legislation. The executive order was pursuant to a vaccination law that the legislature wrote, that gave the right to the executive to determine which vaccinations needed to be given.
Santorum defended the creation of Homeland Security, against the Perry book charge that the department was a mistake.
At the time, it may have looked like a good idea, but I can’t believe anybody is going to defend it now, given that it overlaps existing departments.
