McSally Craps on the Senate Floor with S.3592 - Stop COVID Act of 2020
McSally Craps on the Senate Floor with S.3592 - Stop COVID Act of 2020 Poor McSally is clearly out of ideas on how to stay relevant for her Presidential 2024 bid. Whoring herself out the trump failed ...so we get this garbage: S. 3592 amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act establish an exception jurisdictional immunity for a foreign state that discharges a biological weapon, and for other purposes. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 4, 2020 Mrs. Blackburn (for herself, Ms. McSally, and Mr. Daines) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred the Committee on the Judiciary A BILL amend the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act establish an exception jurisdictional immunity for a foreign state that discharges a biological weapon, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Stop China-Originated Viral Infectious Diseases Act of 2020” or the “Stop COVID Act of 2020”. SEC. 2. EXCEPTION TO JURISDICTIONAL IMMUNITY OF A FOREIGN STATE. (a) In General.—Section 1605 of title 28, United States Code, is amended— (1) by redesignating subsections (g) and (h) as subsections (h) and (i), respectively; and (2) by inserting after subsection (f) the following: “(g) (1) A foreign state shall not be immune from the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States in any case where such foreign state is alleged, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to have discharged a biological agent, as defined in section 178 of title 18, and such discharge results in the bodily injury, death, or damage to property of a national of the United States. “(2) Notwithstanding section 2337(2) of title 18, a national of the United States may bring a claim for damages against a foreign state in accordance with section 2333 of title 18 if the foreign state would not be immune under this subsection.”.

Just in from the fact checkers In her new TV ad, mcsally claims she will "always protect those with preexisting conditions." But nothing in her voting record, which tracks closely with the Republican repeal-and-replace philosophy, supports this claim. And she has continually declined opportunities to oppose a pending legal threat to the ACA, including its provisions related to preexisting conditions, by a group of GOP governors and supported by the trump administration. Meanwhile, the legislation her campaign cited to justify her stance falls short in terms of meaningfully protecting Americans with preexisting medical conditions. mcsally has not in the past or present taken actions that back up her statement. We rate it False.

She's getting crushed in the polls and has drunk the Trump Kool-Aid about USA's *silent majority* of racist, fear-mongering old white people. So she's playing the only card she has left in her (tiny) hand. I don't want to be prematurely exuberant, but Arizona has become a surprise wildcard in our aspirations for regime change this November.
