A panel discussion was held by legal, scientific, and counterterrorism experts on whether certain responses to a major epidemic or biowarfare incident such as forced inoculation, isolation, and quarantines would result in legal challenges, and what responses are consistent with the principles of the U.S. Constitution. Margaret Hamburg made opening remarks. Kathleen Sullivan moderated.
The panel was followed by a keynote address from Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

This “Conference to Address Constitutional Implications of Responses to Germ Warfare and Contagious Disease” was held in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
This broadcast on CSPAN2 Was one of those preparatory events that always preceed a national crisis that will be created. These forums are used to implant acceptance of loss of rights and the coming devastation that is planned…..of course it wil be some vague personage from “over there” who will cause the crisis. Nevermind that the US is the greatest producer and seller of biological and germ warfare weaponry.

I watched the first hour or so of this and my impressions were several, but the main thing that stands out in my mind was the way they talked about the legal limits to forced quarrantine, etc. It seemed as if they were actually looking for ways to circumvent the constitutional protections we have that protect us from being locked up without due process. But, they would never do that…would they?
