    The success of the attack on Vivek Murthy's nomination for Surgeon General, for holding views on guns that the AMA holds, is infuriating.

        @Atul_Gawande NRA sets "good doctors need not apply" rule for surgeon general job. Is the news sounding more like a headline from the onion?

        @Atul_Gawande we don't need a Surgeon General who would deny Americans their constitutional rights.

        @irishredhd The GOP has nothing to do with this. Only 51 votes needed in Senate to confirm. Problem is vulnerable Dems in Red States now
