Interesting on the increase in those getting disability. And I heard from family it’s a pain to get status to collect disability…

Thank you, Mark, for the link & ever-present insightful commentary.

This judge invalidated the statute on 14th Amendment vagueness grounds. The statutory language was too vague to be enforceable. The judge didn't address the plaintiffs' 1st Amendment arguments. Courts avoid 1st Amendment issues when they can resolve a case on other grounds.

Also, this was a preliminary injunction decision. To get a PI, the plaintiffs must show a substantial likelihood on the merits, meaning they would win at trial after full discovery (depositions, document exchange, etc.). Whoever wins the preliminary injunction hearing almost always wins any later contested trial. Most cases settle after a preliminary injunction ruling.

The judge cited a contrary decision from a different federal judge in CA who upheld the idiotic statute. This case / issue will almost certainly go to the infamously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Will be interesting to see if SCOTUS takes the case.

This might be the way it goes next:

"The Unvaccinated have Blood on their Hands"

“They knew: why didn’t the unvaccinated do more to warn us?”

“the unvaccinated knew what we didn’t. Some of them said too little. Most said nothing at all. A lot of blood is now on their hands”

"While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations -- now seeming to do more harm than good -- their unvaccinated friends stood by and let them do it. Some of them said too little. Some said nothing at all.

Even though they knew what we didn't.

Our blood is now on their hands."

and so on

Wonder if the doctors in CA have formed an opinion about this?

The military/Industrial complex is first and foremost about the money. It'd be an interesting study to compute the money that went to it (How many billionaires?) at Price/death rate.

I don't think the generals and other benefactors care, frankly. Col MacGregor said Ukraine losses -that is deaths- are between 137.000 and 160,000. I've not seen his numbers to be far off. Best to ya RNO! (WRH)

Hey, off topic and just spitballing here. Biden had previously said he would not send tanks to Ukraine because it would start WW3 (or 5?, I’m losing count here). Biden classified docs exposed, then more, then more, then more, and suddenly a few short weeks later voila! Tanks to Ukraine! Things about to get REAL! What say you?

I've noticed that when actual science is presented, such as how chromosomes determine the sex of a human being, that the left quickly abandons science and moves on to personal attacks and name calling.

The consensus of doctors and scientists who are not financially or connected to organizations profiting great by pushing the jabs is that the jabs are neither safe nor effective.

Given the State's definition, they should be going after doctors and the state. They are the ones promoting disinformation about safe, effective, and CHEAP treatments that could have saved at least 500,000 lives.

Facts, and Truth, can be inconvenient things. This judges understanding here offers some hope. Thank you again for sharing Mark.
