What Cuccinelli fails to address is the fact that everyone went through the process. The Board created the rules based on the governor’s directives. Cuccinelli did his own thing and refused to certify their findings. What a hypocrite!

    This guy is unbelievably selfassured and selfcentered. What I say and do, is great. BAH!
    Makes it sound as if he didn’t have anything to do with this law.

    The voters of of tuis battlegroud state of Virginia, particularly female voters, will settle this matter at the ballot box come November. I hope Mr Cucunelli is prepared to accept the political consequences of his decision.

    So let me see if I have this right, Cuccinelli refused to approve a set of regulations as State AG, that were prepared by the Board, that were supposeed to implement a law passed in VA in an election year and was designed to protect women through a higher set of medical standards and equipment because they did not, in fact, comply with the law or the Governor’s Directives (which he must have also reviewed and approved) and opened up the State to aditional liability concerns and – and then when this Dr. Remley was unable to get it her way politically over the State AG’s opinion, she then resigned.

    Does anyone know what Remley’s party affiliation is. Short of that, this is how it should work. What is the problem here? A process is great so long as it results in compliance. Apparantly, all the clinics are complying and the beat goes on. Again, what’s the beef?

    1. All new clinics did have to conform to the standards set forth. The existing clinics did not. They were grandfathered in.

      That’s very typical, especially where major structural change is concerned.

      Who cares what her political affiliantion is? Some people have none. They go in the voting booth and vote…and we never know.

      Interestingly enough, Blue isn’t worried about all those men having their testicles opened up in broad daylight and having their vas derens stripped in a non-hospital like setting. Could it be that isn’t controversial enough? Save every Vas!

      I expect that Dr. Remley was more concerned from a physician’s point of view and that Blue is more concerned from a snarky political point of view.

    I sort of feel for Dr. Remley. I had many opportunities to negotiate and vent pulic policies with various interest groups only to be held up by those dam literalist lawyers. I do hope she feels that making it a political issue will be beneficial to her down the road.
