  Who pays the bill?

  on Clinton Email Case Gets Nutty: Clinton Offers Faux Support For Faster Release… That She Could Have Done Herself

  Clinton needs to be billed for this and to actually pay for it.

  LD'O writ: "As a result of which, ordinary citizens end up living in continual fear of abuse of this weaponry."
  
  And you know this how?
  
  Seriously, I am unaware of this being a fear of ordinary citizens and I have lived here all my life. Which is actually a pretty long time, as those things go.
  
  Now if I lived in Chicago ... where the illegal guns are rampant and regularly are used by criminals to maim and murders (check out this past weekend's stats) while legally owned and carried citizen guns are virtually non-existent ... now there -- I would be very uneasy.

  @ Chris B. The doctors are just doing what they are told. Doctors are required, by law, to perform invasive tests all the time.
  
  No. Doctors are not "required by law. to perform invasive tests all the time."
  
  Where did you get that?
  
  I haven't read the legal documents but I would be curious to see the signed HIPAA forms and the plaintiff's "Inform ed Consent."
  
  I can't count the number of things which were wrong. (And where was the hospital lawyer in all of these shenanigans?)
