According to the CDC, swine flu infections have already peaked, and the pandemic is on its way out. Peak infection time was the middle of October, where one in five U.S. children experienced the flu, says the CDC. Out of nearly 14,000 suspected flu cases tested during the week ending on October 10, 2009, 99.6% of those were influenza A, and the vast maj More..

  • The emergency is if this virus spreads so much, the hospitals will not be able to take care of everyone. Therefore more deaths and there will be less time for patients with other diseases. All the doctors and nurses have to get the vaccine, so why are people panicking so much!? I'm getting the shot to spite the people who are spreading so much bullshit about the h1n1 shots. And I will report back to LL alive and well.

  • I don't know spike if any set of emergency declarations trump the Constitution's Bill of Rights. Tell me where it is written.
    Maybe in the laws of the prophet's favorite banana republics and mideast pals, but not here.

    National Emergency Powers
    Federal law provides a variety of powers for the President to use in response to
    crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances threatening the nation. Moreover, they
    are not limited to military or war situations. Some of these authorities, deriving from
    the Constitution or statutory law, are continuously available to the President with little
    or no qualification. Others%u2014statutory delegations from Congress%u2014exist on a standby
    basis and remain dormant until the President formally declares a national
    emergency. These delegations or grants of power authorize the President to meet the
    problems of governing effectively in times of crisis. Under the powers delegated by
    such statutes, the President may seize property, organize and control the means of
    production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law,
    seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of
    private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United
    States citizens. Furthermore, Congress may modify, rescind, or render dormant such
    delegated emergency authority.

    We seen it happen after Katrina, legally owned firearms were confiscated. The state of Mass was attempting to pass a bill which would give authorities the rights to do what was mentioned in the post. I'm not sure if it passed or not. Worst case would be martial law which yes our constitution would be viod during the time.

    Thanks Chopper. But there's more than meets the eye.
    "There are, however, limits and restraints upon the President in his exercise of emergency powers. With the exception of the habeas corpus clause, the Constitution makes no allowance for the suspension of any of its provisions during a national emergency. Disputes over the constitutionality or legality of the exercise of emergency powers are judicially reviewable. Indeed, both the judiciary and Congress, as co-equal branches, can restrain the executive regarding emergency powers. So can public opinion. Furthermore, since 1976, the President has been subject to certain
    procedural formalities in utilizing some statutorily delegated emergency authority. The National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651) eliminated or modified some statutory grants of emergency authority, required the President to declare formally the
    existence of a national emergency and to specify what statutory authority, activated by the declaration, would be used, and provided Congress a means to countermand the President%u2019s declaration and the activated authority being sought. The development of this regulatory statute and subsequent declarations of national emergency are reviewed in this report, which is updated as events require."
    Let's see what the messiah and his communist-loving czars try to DO with their phony emergency declaration. I am waiting for HIS fellow democrats to begin the impeachment process.

    Limits and constraints made by either the President or Congress. 'nuff said.
