Also yesterday...the Cole-Bishop Amendment was voted down.
I saw that and it sucks.

Not surprised, but one would hope that politicians would vote on something so potentially impactful to millions of American lives with their brains or hearts vs. toeing the party line.

I believe one user suggested it was so they can back out of some of the deeming to get themselves out of hot water with the lawsuits.

Lawsuits were extended as well.

Fingers crossed.

Now's a good time for a push back.

Unfortunately, our advocacy garners the same results as eating a bowl of Apple jacks, watching the morning news and making grimacing faces while trying to contain the milk in your mouth.

I believe the key point to this delay is found in this quote:
"Conley forwarded an FDA email announcing the delay.

“This extension will allow new leadership at the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services additional time to more fully consider issues raised by the final rule that are now the subject of multiple lawsuits in federal court,” stated Lindsay R. Tobias, an FDA policy analyst."

Given Gottlieb's position on harm reduction as testified to in his confirmation hearings, it is quite possible the Center for tobacco guys were doing a bit of cover your .... by adding the delay in. If they have significant concern they'll be told to bag it by executive order, why bother to start collecting stuff you'll be told to throw out a month later?

Oh, wait. That's illogical. This a a government agency we're talking about. They never seem to mind doing unnecessary work.
