The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
In the moments after Angela Bougher gave birth last winter, she and her husband, a suburban Chicago pastor, were eager to hold their new baby girl. But as Bougher was being treated in the delivery room, the couple contends, a nurse picked up the infant to administer a vitamin K shot, a common practice in maternity wards across the country to help a baby’s blood-clotting ability in case of emergency. The Boughers said they are not “anti-vaxxers” or against any procedure they believe to be medically necessary, but they didn’t think the shot was in that category. They had agreed to sign a waiver confirming their wishes that the new baby — their fifth child — not receive vitamin K, based on their beliefs that God’s creation isn’t automatically deficient or flawed at birth. But instead of offering them a form, the Boughers allege, the nurse announced she was reporting the couple to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and left the room with the newborn. It would be about 12 hours before they got the child back, the couple said.This is government overreach on a grand scale. How dare they act absent any evidence (much less compelling or obvious) of neglect or malfeasance. Notice that the data are missing from the discussion, because there is no crisis, there is no epidemic, there is no compelling need for government interference in a private and personal decision. And it gets worse:
By May 2017, a doctor who chaired a perinatal committee for the Illinois Department of Public Health was expressing concerns, the lawsuit states. At a meeting the following month, DCFS officials said they didn’t think investigating parents was “the appropriate way to solve the issue,” and they were in the process of amending it, according to minutes from the meeting. But after the meeting, Dr. Jill Glick, a renowned child abuse pediatrician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, wrote letters expressing strong opposition to any policy change. Glick sits on several state committees that work closely with DCFS and is named as a defendant in the lawsuit. “Preventing detrimental outcomes and protecting babies from a poor choice is achieved through education but also through the impact of child welfare interventions,” Glick wrote in a September 2017 letter to fellow pediatricians as DCFS was considering changes. “This can be a very powerful incentive for parents to not put their child a risk.”Oh...a "powerful incentive?" Other people (including I) would call it the jack-booted thugs of government. How elitist and arrogant and dismissive of parental rights! This woman is perfect example of the dangers of large government, and her pomposity and grandiosity is dangerous. She believes...KNOWs...that she is smarter and better and more capable than the serfs for whom she has responsibility. And how dare you question her! Show me the clear and unambiguous data that prove a public health issue, and I will consider supporting a more aggressive approach to vitamin K deficiency in newborns. But that is a high bar, especially since the deficiency seems to be manageable by other means.

This reminds me of the op-ed by a nurse JJ linked to a few weeks ago who lectured that nurses who don't want to be forced to assist in abortions should find a new profession.
The Left is at war with religious hospitals and religious medical professionals just as much as they are at war with parents. This will only get worse as the State takes over medical care. Refusing an medical procedure/advice will = resisting the State. This is why we must resist any Medicare for All/Some encroachments on private care/the relationship between you and your doctors.

I think that Rush is right about the Dems being the political arm of the media.
The media is pushing impeachment. There it is on Drudge that there are 218 votes for impeachment.
Like I said, Pelosi is a better vote counter. She knows they aren't there or she would have already held the vote.
If she doesn't want impeachment, her only way out is to call the vote and lose.

We have a saying in medicine:
"If you ask a barber, he will tell you that you need a haircut."
With the hyperspecialization of medicine there are more and more "experts"with very narrow areas of expertise. And they tend to "see" the thing that they are expert in behind every bush and tree.
It becomes a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.
And the average community-based pediatrician will defer to that expert virtually every single time.

No offense to any pediatricians but the average pediatrician in my area works for a giant hospital system that basically forces them to follow checklists and protocols on all of these things.
They are pushing this so that in the end, they can have everyone seen by a nurse who just runs a checklist program. If you have something more serious or acute, then you get a doctor, or a bot. Doctor bots are coming.

From the admittedly little I know on the anti-vaccine topic, I think the main sticking point for the non-crazy anti-vaxers is that the new 'combo' vaccines are full of dangerous elements. Elements that do not need to be there and in years past were not. (I.e. in the past you got five vaccine shots: a, b, c, d, e. Now you get one shot with all five, but there's a bunch of other crap in there.)
And I think no one makes the five individual vaccines anymore because the big health corporations made a bajillion of the new kind, and they're pushing nothing but the new kind of vaccines because of it.
Again, my knowledge is mostly hearsay from new parents, so take all this with a grain of salt.

So they are trying to address the kids who may have a clotting disorder and prevent catastrophic brain bleed after birth - but its probably a very small number of kids very very small. And if you have no family history of clotting disorders even very very smaller. So . . . yeah a mathematical benefit, because no risk really, and you'd catch maybe 5 kids a decade. Logically the system says lets do it. However, patient autonomy is sacrificed. Stated differently, if we outlawed smoking completely banned it, would it prevent 5 deaths a decade - probably - should that be done . . . yah not gonna happen.

Hello, you all can blame the lawyers for this. The AAP defines standards of practice and then pediatricians will follow them without exception, less their malpractice insurance drops them during a lawsuit for not following standards of practice. The standards of practice keep evolving into whatever research appears to be generally accepted , and has yet to have a successful lawsuit against it.
You all realize that the lawsuits levied against Roundup are being decided by juries who have zero expertise in not only herbicides, medicine, cancer but none in statistics, study designs, research etc.
Same with lawsuits in medicine. Typically decided by jury with little background , who have to decide between two expert testimony which one is lying and which one isn't.

Again I have no problem with the hospital mandating it as a condition of rendering their services but not government mandated. But then again, a waiver by the parents beforehand that relieved the hospital of liability in the event of a bleeding episode should be sufficient. Unfortunately though waivers don't prevent people from suing.

Rep. Schiff Fabricates What Trump Said In Ukraine Telephone Call Transcript
"This is the essence of what the president communicates. We've been very good to your country, very good, no other country has done as much as we have, but you know what, I don't see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good."
...
Schiff continued, making it up as he went along: "I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand, lots of it, on this and on that. I'm going to put you in touch with people, not just any people, I'm going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He's got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him."
People are going to hear this and think this is what is in the transcript. Weasel. His point. Get these out as sound bites. pure evil

2. Deficiency of vitamin K can lead to excess or spontaneous bleeding
3. Warfarin (aka Coumadin) blocks the coagulation cascade.
4. Warfarin in therapeutic doses can prevent unwanted clot formation (e.g. people with mechanical heart valves)
5. Warfarin in overdose can lead to potentially dangerous bleeding (hence its use as a rat poison).
6. Simplistically you can think of vitamin K as "anti"-warfarin. It used to counter the effects of too much warfarin, but also to replace a deficiency of vitamin K (thus its use in newborns).
7. Vitamin K deficiency is rare in newborns, but it is easier to administer a shot universally than to test all newborns or wait for serious symptoms to develop. At least that is the "public health" rationale.

This won't happen. It's never getting a House vote at all, and if it, by some miracle, did happen, Mitch would kill it.
The antagonism within the upper echelons of the Republican Party against Trump has obviously largely abated. And, killing the Republican Party kills their own livelihoods.
There are policy, party, and personal reasons why Mitch won't let an impeachment result get a conviction.

The House Intelligence Committee chairman even suggested that Trump told Zelensky, "'And I'm going to put you in touch with Rudy -- you're going to love him, trust me. You know what I'm asking, and so I'm only going to say this a few more times in a few more ways. And by the way, don't call me again, I'll call you when you've done what you've asked.' This is the sum and character what the president was trying to communicate with the president of Ukraine. It would be funny if it wasn't such a graphic betrayal of the president's Oath of Office."

Parent's cannot waive their children's rights, which makes these waivers useless.
I had a friend whose lawyer husband handled quite a few child injury cases, including dog bites. Parents can sue someone for injury to their child and collect on it, including having all medical care paid for. Then, once the child turns 18, the child turned adult can sue said defendant again for the same complaint , winning a judgement based on effects of prior injury on current status.
It's crazy. It's why liability releases for kids playing sports, etc. are false security for organizations that run them.

Vitamin K is given postnatal to prevent blue baby syndrome, a complication that can occur when the mother and baby have incompatible blood types.
At issue, is that most babies do not have a blood type incompatible with their mother, but hospitals want to administer them Vitamin K both as a liability shield, and as a relatively expensive medicine allowing a high markup.
Also, Obamacare prioritizes "preventive care" through a number of mechanisms, and this qualifies. Opting out has the potential to directly affect the hospital's reimbursements from any and all governmental subsidized programs going forward.

Its not really a trial like that per se, but he will be given representation and will have a chance to make his case. So the impeachment thing is a giant landmine. Trump is probably hoping they do impeach and he gets the chance to lay it all out. He'd probably declass a lot of stuff and say that the dem's left him no choice.

Vitamin K is given postnatal to prevent blue baby syndrome, a complication that can occur when the mother and baby have incompatible blood types.
At issue, is that most babies do not have a blood type incompatible with their mother, but hospitals want to administer them Vitamin K both as a liability shield, and as a relatively expensive medicine allowing a high markup.
Also, Obamacare prioritizes "preventive care" through a number of mechanisms, and this qualifies. Opting out has the potential to directly affect the hospital's reimbursements from any and all governmental subsidized programs going forward.

Since they have been talking about impeaching Trump since before he was even sworn in and have mentioned the word "impeachment" so many times, isn't it possible that they have almost devalued the word to the point where it won't even register with most people and if he is indeed impeached by the House, it will be met by a collective shrug by the ONLY people who really matter--the voters?

That is a bullshit statistic. It started as "400,000 patients die every year as a result of medical mistakes". The data was derived from chart reviews of dead patients, and any error was a "medical mistake". Doctor prescribed tylenol to be given at 1500, but was not given until 1600? Medical mistake. Did that cause the patient to die? No. Did it contribute to the death? No. But it was a ----oooohhhh--- medical mistake!

'President Isn't Telling the Truth': Nicolle Wallace Cuts Away from Press Conference
Wow! The MSNBC host of Deadline: White House, Nicolle Wallace, declared President Trump to be a liar on Wednesday (how original) and used that as an excuse to cut away from the televised press conference almost 24 hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared the House's formal attempt to impeach the President. Perhaps Trump's truth telling about Joe and Hunter Biden was too much for her to tolerate. In any event, it was a stunning act of anti-journalism.

When you distill it down to it's essence, all laws and government regulation comes down to government sticking a gun in your face and telling you what to do, or else.
Always.
The trick is to ensure that the thing or behavior being regulated is actually worth killing a citizen to enforce. Because when you stick a gun in someone's face, it's not for show, it's a death threat, and for that threat to have any force, government must be willing to pull the trigger.
So when a beauty salon operates with a regular business license, but without a cosmetology license, you'd better be DAMNED sure that killing the proprietor is worth it. Because if they continue operation without that special license, eventually the cops are going to show up with guns.
The baby/vitamin K scenario gets a teeny step closer to justifiable since another life is involved. But still, is that nurse willing to have a cop shoot that parent in the face to give that baby the K shot? Because that's the end result.

I think Democrats do have some interest in maintaining the charade, and the Republicans would be happy to play their part.
It all boils down to whether GOP leadership wants to go there right now, and I don't *think* we're quite there yet.
And no, removing Trump will not spark CW2. But it'll go a long way toward it, and the ensuing left-wing madness would seal it... people are too afflicted by comfort to rise up at this time. A decade of one-party rule by these corrupt madmen would change that, though.

this is the attitude that Children's Advocacy Centers hold on exams for reports and allegations of child abuse and molestation. This is a nation-wide standard of care.
However, I guess the question is, should this be a different standard from inoculations? And if it is, why is not getting inoculations considered child abuse where rejecting exams for abuse and sexual assault is not?
(I don't have an answer, I just have a jarring inconsistency. The standards for the CAC were developed in in part due to the fall out of the child care center that was supposedly a satanic cult, as well as a realization that running kids through the wringer three or four times with doctors, social workers and LE after traumatic events was not best for the kids or the investigation)

The reason why I say that Nancy cannot continue to delay, though, is that she will be held responsible for the failure to impeach. She may be ready to retire and maybe that is okay with her.

That's going to be Mitch's legacy, and he knows it.
Completely reversing the the leftist takeover of the judiciary by first taking a stand against Merrick Garland (as leftist as RBG, by the way, no moderate), and then using all of his powers in the Senate to jam as many judges onto federal courts as he can manage that Trump throws at him.
That's a great legacy to shoot for, by the way.

Just to be clear, I do not for a second think that this strategy will work. I am convinced she's pursuing it, but I think it's fatally flawed.
Concentrating on the moderate wing of her party, they're never going to have that vote to define their support or antagonism around impeachment. They can go home and talk out of both sides of their mouths about impeachment, appealing to whatever crowd they're talking to at the moment, but it's going to be hard to convince independent voters that sending another Democrat, even if they don't actually support impeachment, is going to end the impeachment circus.
The only way to do that, Republican challengers, the RNC, and Donald Trump will say, is to elect Republicans.

Hard to say. The Constitution says this:
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
This makes it sound like those are 2 different consequences. That Rep from Florida who was an impeached Federal judge, not sure what his sentence was. But he clearly was able to run for Congress. But maybe technically that is not an office of honor.

It "was possible" that Clinton suborned perjury--more than that it actually was confirmed by Monica Lewinsky long after the fact.
People often forget that her role is not just an underling giving blowjobs to the President in the Oval Office. That she was caught on tape asking Linda Trip to lie on the stand. And I believe that she confessed that she had already done so.
Years after the fact, Lewinsky admitted that Clinton instructed her to schmooze Tripp into perjuring herself.
And yet some of the same pundits who were saying "Remember how bad it turned out impeaching Clinton?"--who suborned perjury--are the ones hanging their hat on we might be catching Trump in having done something he shouldn't have.

Yeah, Toomey is one who would have to be paid off, big time, to go along with a conviction.
Most Republicans who vote to convict would be finished in politics, and would need to be assured that they and their and families will be shitting in high cotton forevermore.
Mitch won't go there, and spend so much political and financial capital, unless he's certain that Trump will lose reelection. Then his calculations will shift towards currying favor with Democrats by any means necessary, and not until then.

Right. Impeachment is not a bill. But that's also why they need the supermajority IIRC. So it's like an unvetoable resolution by Congress.

So Adam Shitt makes stuff up, and proudly admits to doing so. He starts off the hearing making up dialogue not in the call.
And then he suggests the House of Representatives should overturn an election based solely on his fantasy. This is way past parody. We are into public displays of mental illness at this point. Responsible Democrats need to find him a quiet institutional setting and take away his TV rights.
Not kidding, this is astounding.

Resolutions. Here is a lot from wikipedia (yeah I know)
Impeachment proceedings may be requested by a member of the House of Representatives on his or her own initiative, either by presenting a list of the charges under oath or by asking for referral to the appropriate committee. The impeachment process may be requested by non-members. For example, when the Judicial Conference of the United States suggests a federal judge be impeached, a charge of actions constituting grounds for impeachment may come from a special prosecutor, the President, or state or territorial legislature, grand jury, or by petition. An impeachment proceeding formally begins with a resolution adopted by the full House of Representatives, which typically includes a referral to a House committee.
The type of impeachment resolution determines the committee to which it is referred. A resolution impeaching a particular individual is typically referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. A resolution to authorize an investigation regarding impeachable conduct is referred to the House Committee on Rules, and then to the Judiciary Committee. The House Committee on the Judiciary, by majority vote, will determine whether grounds for impeachment exist. If the Committee finds grounds for impeachment, it will set forth specific allegations of misconduct in one or more articles of impeachment. The Impeachment Resolution, or Articles of Impeachment, are then reported to the full House with the committee's recommendations.
SO - Pelosi is talking "Impeachment Inquiry" which is not a thing in the House rules. To get to proceedings they have to have a vote in the House.

What I'm more curious about than the Senate is the House. I don't think Pelosi has left herself any choice but to put this turd to a vote - but how strong is Dem control over their caucus? Can they bring along enough red-state Dems and blue-state Rs for a majority?

Do they really want endless hearings that will expose the rampant corruption of Joe Biden and his crooked spawn, and by extension, Obama? Really? Because Trump is not the kind of person who will just roll over and let that kind of shit pass. He'll put the spotlight right where it belongs: on the crooked Bidens and the whole pay-for-access cesspool that is our federal government.

Many years ago, I was called down to the AFROTC office to sign a form acknowledging that, if I was commissioned, I could be assigned to duty anywhere in the world, and that those duties could involve nuclear weapons.
I suspect that somebody sued to get out of a service obligation by claiming that they didn't know that world wide assignments meant they could be sent anywhere in the world, and that certain AFSCs almost guaranteed that you would be working with nukes.
