HUH? Alzheimer’s? Start with congress. Aunt Nancy first.
I only have two regrets: first, that this beneficial legislation has no chance. Second, that they felt the need to do that dumbass acronym crap in naming the bills. The good news is that Justice Thomas signaled that SCOTUS is prepared to deal with the overbroad injunctions issue.
WHAT does all that say ?
