Bright says the officials were dismissive in january, that the u. S. Did not have enough personal protective equipment. I was met with indifference, saying they were either too busy, they didnt have a plan. They didnt know who was responsible for procuring those.

Overturned Governor Tony Evers extension and the Health Departments extension through may 26th. Now, the ruling reads in part that an agency cannot confer on itself the power to dictate the lives of law abiding individuals as prehence civilly as the comprehensively as the order does.

From your experience in the senate do you feel you know where this is going to end up or do you feel this is as open ended as i do . I cannot see where this is going to end up. Because of the elements of this that we really cannot at this stage figure out the power is of dr. Fords side of this. Ive been hugely impressed with how dr.
