Somebody help me here to understand how it is that Rand Paul and 14 other Repuke Senators came out looking good in this bill. Is this more upside-down world or what?? Did the bill have some other rotten crap attached to it that prevented the Dems from supporting it?

Paul's amendment to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act has two parts: Part I would allow the makers of health products to advertise their benefits. "There’s no earthly reason why somebody who markets prune juice can’t advertise it helps with constipation," Paul said. Part II of the amendment would prohibit FDA employees (as well as all other Health and Human Services employees) from carrying weapons and making arrests without warrants.

INSANITY IS NOT A PLEA. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.
Some hearty knaves and simple fools,
Some apish and pragmatic mules,
Some servile acquiescing fools,
These, these comprise a congress.
When Jove resolved to send a curse,
And all the woes of life rehearse,
Not plague, not famine, but much worse,
He cursed us with a congress.

What authority would have jurisdiction to monitor the claims of benefits in order to protect the consumer? This bill may eliminate regulations that are meant to protect the consumer. Repigs want to restore "beware buyer", making the responsibility of the consumer to determine if the benfit claims are true or false.Part I would allow the makers of health products to advertise their benefits.
Then this pretty much boils down to protecting 'false advertising' by the Repukes, correct?
Why can't any FDA raid still be effective without the need for firearms? I'm fairly sure that any suspect risky raid would take place with the support from local law enforcers.
