India's Supreme Court has just declared that all mandates must stop throughout India. Health Freedom is winning in India. The US continues to play along with the evil globalist cabal. What do Sotamayor and Amy Commie Bennett stand to gain from destroying the lives of US citizens? Have their lives been threatened? Are they being paid huge sums of money? This is incomprehensible. They can't possibly believe the bioweapons have any benefit, and they must know the jabs are killing millions of people around the world. Are they under the sway of the MSM? God help us.

Keep in mind that the government did not order anybody to take the vaccine; instead it required all contractors, etc. to ensure all of their employees are vaccinated. Is there a case to be made that the government cannot set such restrictions upon its contractors?

It is we, the citizens, who refuse to push back against government idiocy; refusing to work for, or refusing to buy products and services from the companies that acquiesce to governmental demands is the only way to halt government aggression.

Expecting the courts to impose restrictions on private parties only contributes to the loss of freedom and liberty. Once such restrictions are deemed acceptable, the next turn may very well be in a direction that we all will regret.

I believe precedent was set by SC AC-B a couple of months ago regarding Indiana. She did the same thing Sotomayor did only earlier.

My guess is the court is desperately trying to avoid controversy, again.

And yet the polling strongly suggests that doing the right thing would be popular.

Anyone else see this study by Didier Rault just published last week on HCQ?

What happened to right to try?

https://rcm.imrpress.com/EN/10.31083/j.rcm2203116

"Among the 10,429 ambulatory patients, there were 16

deaths (0.15%) (Table 1, Figs. 1,3. No patient under 60 years

of age died (0/8414 (0%), 95% confidence interval 0.0% to

0.4%) (Fig. 3). Therefore, the IFR among the 2015 patients

aged 60 and over was 0.8%. 11/16 deaths (70%) were common

to both data sources (DIM & NRDP). Two were identified

only with the DIM, and three were identified only with

the NRDP. The median age of the decedents was 78 years

(interquartile age 6982 years), and 12/16 (75%) were male.

Thirteen (81%) had a Charlson score GE 5, corresponding to a

risk of death within one year of more than 85%, so that only

three were expected not to die in the following year. Among

13 patients with a known cause of death, 12 presented with

respiratory failure, 1 presented with anaphylactic and septic

shock after dexamethasone, one presented with neurological

failure, and 6 presented with severe coagulopathy. None of

the deaths with a known cause were related to a side effect

of hydroxychloroquine and/or azithromycin or a torsade de

pointe."

"There were 5 deaths among the 8315 patients who received

HCQ+AZ (0.6 on 1000 patients) and 11 among the

2114 who received other treatments (p < 0.0001). There

were 9 deaths among the 1091 patients who received AZ

alone (0.82%) and 2 deaths among those who received no

treatment. In the multivariable logistic regression, age, sex,

and treatment, but not epidemic period, were associated

with a significant difference in the risk of death (Table 2).

HCQ+AZ was associated with a significant 83% decrease in

the risk of death (0.17, 0.060.48) independent of age, sex or

epidemic period.

The cardiotoxicity of HCQ, previously considered irrelevant

to oral administration and usual doses [33], has been

exaggerated by studies with a potential conflict of interest,

notably in the retracted article published in the Lancet [34].

White [33] showed that the concentrations needed to inhibit

the hERG channel responsible for QT prolongation were 4 to

14 times higher than the concentrations observed in plasma

at usual doses. In our center, we developed a smartwatch

electrocardiogram and artificial intelligence for assessing the

cardiac rhythm safety of HCQ+AZ and did not find any QTc

prolongation."

The essay about "Power Play" is by Mark T. Mitchell, at https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/public-health-or-power-play/ .

Is the judicial system--from bottom to top--illegitimate and should it either be ignored or razed to the ground and the earth salted?

65% say "yes."

13% "undecided" and only

22% say "no."

Globalists and China (but I repeat) have a lot of money for bribes. They gave Joe Biden and his son Hunter 1.5 billion dollars for Hunter's "hedge fund", and JB flew Hunter in Air Force II to China in order to do the deal.

It's a very good deal for China, and it represents "all profit" to JB and Co.

It's only a bad deal for the US, and United States citizens. Lawmakers (and "elected" law takers) consider the public like a herd of cows or sheep, to be harvested or shorn of wool periodically. And with the 2020 "election" corruption now an accepted fact, why should they fear even not being re-elected? No FBI either, so no worry about laws being broken.

Corruption is basically out in the open. And courts are basically reflections of our society (as is law enforcement) the lawgivers (and lawmakers) are just as complicit and corrupt, and want money just as much as other parts of corrupt society.

They figure that "everybody" else is corrupt, so why should they give up a chance to rake in "their" money?

Yes shameful. It seems distinguishable from past cases in which courts have declined to be involved.

Like the 90% RINO GOP isn't just the other side of the same coin.

" If local elections next year aren't completely fraudulent ..." That's a very big "if", my friend.

Each of the "Election Integrity" bills making their ponderous way through various republican-majority state legislatures have holes in them large enough to drive a truck through. Strangely enough, the holes are not all the same. Perhaps a little coordination among these groups could lead to the adoption of a set of must-have provisions akin to Model Rules rather than the current scattershot approaches. Each state could then add on state-specific provisions but not subtract from the Model.

John Roberts' legacy will be as the Chief Justice that destroyed the country with his timidity.

You are on the right path Titan 28. But, I want to expand on what you are saying. I feel completely disenfranchised at this point. There is no longer "science," logic or reasoning in anything that is done...it is all politics. I am not alone. A recent poll shows a majority of Trump voters and a near majority of Biden voters support secession between red and blue states. This is no small number. This is how civil wars start.

WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation. We are no longer a nation of laws and we are no longer a free people. They place their radical ideology above our lives and the lives of our children. An evil has spread across the land that cannot be thwarted by political means. It is either time to break apart or to move the conflict from the political to the physical. They are determined to seize and destroy our spirit in the service of their evil god. Molon labe.
