When New York’s original vaccine mandate for healthcare workers was announced, it included an exemption for religious reasons. However, when the administration changed hands, Governor Hochul removed the religious exemption. A lawsuit was filed. A federal appeals court loss brought the plaintiffs to the Supreme Court requesting an injunction.
Today, the request from the 20 plaintiffs was rejected by the Supreme Court as referred by Justice Sotomayor who covers the New York region. Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas dissented and would have provide the injunctive relief. However, Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney-Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh sided with the liberal wing and denied the request. [Full pdf Decision Here]
Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch wrote in their 14-page dissent that Governor Hochul’s record in the case “practically exudes suspicion of those who hold unpopular religious beliefs,” adding, “That alone is sufficient to render the mandate unconstitutional as applied to these applicants.”
Unfortunately, the alignment of Justices Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh with the left wing of the court makes future constitutional appeals around the vaccine mandate look increasingly tenuous. Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett have been big disappointments.
the Religious exemption isn’t to be granted by the state. The Lord Almighty is who I answer to .Merry Christmas Fellow Patriots.
Exactly 💯
“The Lord Almighty” is also Who they’ll be answering to as well.
“…He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” … “Thou shall break them with a rod of iron; Thou shall dash them to pieces as a potter’s vessel” … “Be instructed ye judges of the earth” … “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way…”
From Psalm 2
The Churches should of been standing up for us and then we would have strong(er) constitutional argument for our religious rights not begging for an “exemption”.
This is why, just like FAUX news, I have no use for churches. These “influencers” are not who they pretend to be.

SD’s last sentence is noticeably kind, it ‘tis the season.
I can think of a lot more “d” words to express my rage.
Yet led by the example set,
I will choose
Dastardly!
John “Obamacare” Roberts is the biggest disappointment. He’s a never-Trump neocon who let Obamacare stand because he hates middle class working folks. Just like his establishment Republican buddies.
His betrayal is expected by now. The other two sting because we believed they were big wins under Trump. Alas, they are decepticons, and there’s no point in pretending otherwise at this point.
NOT ALL OF US BELIEVED THAT. A FEW OF US WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SOUNDED THE ALARM BUT TOO MANY ‘CONSERVATIVES’ FELL ALL OVER THEMSELVES GENUFLECTING TO THOSE TWO PIECES OF YOU KNOW WHAT.
WHEN THEY SHOULD’VE BEEN CONTACTING THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO OBJECT TO THOSE TWO QUISLINGS, THEY WERE SINGING PSALMS AND PRAISES OF THEM.
Didn’t most feel so sorry for Kavanaugh as he cried & cried?! This is why I just *love* when some get on President Trump’s a$$… he should have know better about this one or that one… How many times have we been betrayed???? Way too many deceivers!!!
He’s part of SCOTUS’ liberal block. Just right him off.
We’re facing betrayal from any direction we look. When the time comes, I believe the U.S. military will fire upon us.
Am I seeing things – the NY governor said this vaccine comes from God??

that would cause you harm? That is not truth. Those are
just lies out there on social media.” Governor Hochul At-

To answer Hochul’s question, God would never provide a vaccine that would cause harm. Pharma would however, at the behest of Satan. As his agent and representative she should know that
The demonic Hochul knows that.
God gave us our unbeatable …immune system…It fights like an army..This is not a vaccine..it doesn’t stop transmission and it doesn’t stop you from getting it.It causes harm..an no one knows what harm it will cause down the road..but do you think prissy Barrett or..crying Kavenaugh.care now..I am done with them..They are useless tools..for the left..
Unbeatable, huh?
Cancer and AIDS beg to differ.
Which both happen to be side effects of the “vaccine.”
Our immune systems are unbeatable unless they are weakened which often happens due to “therapeutic” drugs and vaccines. And “recreational” drugs too of course. AIDS is a syndrome, not a discrete disease, that was originally an automatic consequence of the “lifestyle” factors of a small subset of extremely promiscuous (hundreds of sexual partners engaging in unnatural sexual activity that would beggar description) drug-abusing homosexual males. One element of our immune systems that is often overlooked is endogenous microflora, the multitude of “beneficial” bacteria that colonize our bodies at the time of birth and occupy ecological niches which prevents the overgrowth of such microbes as yeasts. Because the homosexuals were prone to repeated venereal infections, in itself immunosuppressive, they took powerful antibiotics daily for years at a time, which is insane. The AB’s depleted their microflora and left them susceptible to fulminating (“cottage cheese”) yeast infections like candida. These were regarded as a marker for AIDS. Another maker was Kaposi’s Sarcoma, a cancer of the interior walls of blood vessels. At the time most doctors had never seen KS, it was rare and confined to middle-aged Mediterranean men. It was generated in the homosexuals by the persistent abuse of carcinogenic nitrite inhalants, “poppers” which facilitated sodomy by relaxing smooth muscles. As the use of poppers declined so did KS. It’s no longer regarded as an AIDS-defining disease. Then AZT was approved as an “antiviral”, with a push from Fauci, in 1987. 94 percent of deaths from “AIDS” occurred after AZT was approved. The clinical trials had to be terminated early due to so many of the subjects dying (from “AIDS” of course) or needing life-saving blood transfusions. AZT destroys bone marrow and also produces wasting and lymphoma among many other things. Consequently “AIDS” was redefined to include wasting and lymphoma. Are you beginning to see a pattern? All of these things were attributed to the mythical super-virus HIV. But there is no HIV. It doesn’t exist any more than “COVID-19” does. I’d be happy to make that case in considerable detail if you’re interested. Cancer is due to mitochondrial toxicity from oxidative stress. Damaged mitochondria are unable to generate the energy necessary for cells to divide and differentiate in an orderly manner so they reproduce rapidly in haphazard fashion producing tumors and teratomas (teratos= monster), collections of cells that are indistinct, hair, teeth, etc. Antioxidants are therapeutic in this regard
She’s ssspeaking for her god and master trying to deceive the audience.
What does anyone really expect from a soopreme court of jesters. Just more Feralisms. Did any of the jesters read the 1st Amendment? This is even worse because Con-gress and the NY Legislature are MIA. Edicts from Executive Feral Kings and State Queens seem to suffice here in the USSA.
The just isn’t enough rope for all these bastards.
The robert’s Supreme Court is absolutely gutless.
When she told a NYC congregation that she wanted them to be her apostles, I knew we were dealing with one of Satan’s generals.
What if Blasey-Ford was telling the truth, lol.
Well, then she had nothing to fear from Kav as he appears to be limp
Zing!!!
She wasn’t. Even her friends at the time said it never happened. That doesn’t mean Kavanaugh isn’t a piece of you know what. He appears to have been a spoiled Fairfield County brat, at the least, and a slimy manipulator. His decisions are indicative of such a lack of character.
He and ACB have been part of Bush Family Inc for like 20 years….so take it from there 🙄😒
Bought & Paid for.
The Fourth Branch controls all.
It is time we stopped calling the judges liberal or conservative, which is a political construct. They are either, loyal to the globalist agenda destroying the foundation of our Republic, or standing firm, fighting for the letter and intent of our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
Loyalist or Patriot.
We the People have to find a way to reclaim our government. Only then can we remove the traitors we call supreme justices.
Yes sdee, and I judge family and friends and coworkers in similar way…. Either patriot or traitor. That way I know who to spend time with and energy on.
Exactly 💯
There is only one way honestly. The majority of the country just hasn’t came to that realization yet.
Yours id the best post so far: not saying but at the same time saying “what has to be said”. “It” has to be done and has to be started sooner rather than later. I’m Ready.
(militia, yep)((Constitutional Militia if you were asking)
Interestingly, the Founders meant for the judiciary branch to be the least powerful among the three federal branches (executive, legislative, judiciary). Why? Because more than an overreach of the executive and legislative branches, the Founders were concerned about the tyranny that comes from UNELECTED–and therefore electorally unaccountable–robed men sitting on a bench.
They undoubtedly are spinning in their graves seeing how OPINIONS of nine unelected judges are considered by a woefully uninformed citizenry to be the “law of the land.” Under no circumstances was this ever to be the case: SCOTUS can only write OPINIONS pertinent to and legally binding only on the parties to the case, not everyone in the country. However, somewhere along the way, we accepted that SCOTUS writes the “law of the land.”
We also accept that SCOTUS justices are there for life: while there are no term limits for justices in the US Constitution, there was never an understanding, let alone a practice, in the early days of our nation, for justices to remain on SCOTUS for decades. In fact, many were removed/impeached for behaviors unbecoming to a SCOTUS justices. Those were the days……
How far we have fallen away from the Founders’ original intent…..,.
Yes, that’s what this lawyer has repeatedly said on his podcasts:
Legalman @USLawreview
You’re either MAGA or you’re not. Conservatives have run the ship aground too many times to trust them again.
Exactly 💯
“By their fruit you shall know them”
They’ve proven to be antiConstitutional over and over again.
They prove themselves “enemies foreign and domestic” against the very Constitution that seats them as Judges.
They must surely hate Constitutional Republic Citizens.
Matthew 5:20
“fruits”
The mind boggles at how these blatant overreaches can be anything but unconstitutional, yet no matter how many “constitutionalists” we put on the court, the left always has a 6:3 majority.
It’s been part of the plan for decades. In the meantime, Conservatism, Inc simply scams gullible conservatives.
Cocain Mitch sold DJT a bad bill of goods with Kavanagh and Barrett. All in the plan I think.
Exactly.
The UN’s Agenda 21/ New World Order Great Reset was launched in 1992 to culminate in the year 2021. Yup, the whole thing was planned.
The worst disappointments in life come from people you think have integrity.
Thank you👍👌
“integrity”
They have NO Constitutional Integrity which is why we have Constitutional Judges.
To be antiConstitutional is to be an “enemies foreign and domestic”
Although the Court denied emergency relief, the parties can now seek the High Court’s full review. In a similar case of Does 1-3 v. Mills, the Court denied emergency relief, and now Liberty Counsel has filed a petition for full review. That case is still pending.
In addition to seeking full review, all health care workers wrongfully terminated may pursue a claim for damages under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which does allow for religious exemptions and accommodations. Damages can include back pay, lost pay, and reinstatement.

Thank you for the clarification on next steps.
an
Of course they are disappointments, they are libs.
This makes me very uneasy when it comes to the CMS and OSHA mandates. Admittedly I don’t know how the courts work. But I do know if it ends up in front of these paid off fools it will not end well for team freedom. Might need to take it to another level. You know how they didn’t want to hear about election fraud.
“Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney-Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh sided with the liberal wing.”
As a reminder, only one of these magistrates was nominated by “I will appoint conservative judges” George Bush.
Whatever Donald Trump’s virtues may be, his personnel choices have very often turned out badly.
He, like us, never expected to be brutally sabotaged by our own party, who hates us as much as Peter Strzok hates Walmartians.
He is responsible regardless.
both Lack-of-balls Kavanaugh and deer-in-the-headlights Barrett are both compromised (they fear for their children given Schumer’s threat to harm them should they vote “wrong”) and useless.
Then they’re not competent to do their job and need to step down.
The rule of law is dead. The social compact no longer exists. We are not under any compulsion to adhere to law when the ‘justice’ department and the highest court in the land don’t adhere to it. F–k them.
All three of them should be dragged out and hung from three separate lamp posts.
I don’t think DC has enough lamp posts to handle
The amount of people who deserve to hang from one!
Cut them down and hang the next batch!
If Roberts, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett were scared to take the election fraud case because they were scared of Antifa and BLM, wait till they try to force millions of Americans to inject themselves and their children with an mRNA vaccine that has proven toxicity.
“wait till they try to force”
Are you sure it’s not already happening ?
Barret is weak and vulnerable to pressure and coercion. Kavanaugh was one of the authors of the Patriot Act and compromised (as is Roberts obviously). Neither of them will give us much relief except for an occasional crumb. They are part of the problem, now for life
Sucks to live in NY, but isn’t this aligned with recent decisions to leave states to their own decisions (Federalism)?
Interesting point 👉 “Federalism” 👈
Would that include each State violation of American Citizens Constitutional Bill of Rights Article 1?
Just wondering if this would be a clear Bill of Rights violation the “supremes” ruled against American Citizen’s “inalienable rights”.
Seems clear to me.
Otherwise I’d say you might be correct.
Doesn’t look good for any further Bill of Rights cases (see Second Amendment) if the “supremes” are going to continue down this destructive antiConstitutional path.
Its these types of things that really give me a kick in the guts. I’m all for President Trump, even if I am not in the US, I listened to him speak, I liked what I heard. Then he was elected, and besides every attempt to thwart his objectives I seen America begin to rise. It gave me great hope for the world. There is no doubt in my mind President Trump and the American people were robbed of an election victory. But more so than that, I believe a coup took place. I imagined the supreme court would play some role at rectifying the election …
Lawlessness.
That’s it for me. That’s what I am left with when I see everything taking place today …lawlessness. That’s the problem right there, and that’s why its such a kick in the guts. Without law and order what is there? Corruption. No accountability. Tyranny. What a mess.
Who knew SCOTUS was so against religious beliefs.
Or that Kavanaugh and Barrett would be completely stifled by Roberts.
While the media is now reporting on the collapse of hospital systems.
https://autos.yahoo.com/rep-meuse-hospital-ceo-says-170654138.html
Who knew Kavanaugh and Barrett were weak? I did. I knew it for certain after the election. Most conservatives are political cuckolds.
It makes one wonder why they bother swearing in using a Bible.
I’m glad when hospitals fail. Americans are going to have to feel a lot of pain before this stops.
All those compliant sheep that think it’s ok to force people to inject poison are in for a surprise when they need medical care. Hospital staff aren’t obligated to inject poison for your convenience.
The “long march” through our legal system began in earnest during the 1960’s. What we’re seeing today is the result.
Thomas and Alito are the only justices worthy of respect. Perhaps Gorsuch as well, but he has written some off the wall opinions too.
So two of three Trump nominees are political cuckolds. This is exactly what I expected.
President Trump has called out those who are traitors among us.
How soon before he starts calling out these clowns in robes?
It would go right along with his recent calling out of China Mitch.
Trump didn’t “call out” Kavanaugh and Barrett. He nominated them to the US Supreme Court.
I didn’t say he did. I said, how soon before he calls them out.
Trump nominated who China Mitch would allow through confirmation.
It seems increasingly likely that other methods will have to be employed to stop the jab.
ACB= RGBxLSD?
Another reason why secession needs to happen yesterday – 4 justices firmly aligned against citizens’ rights.
Not so supreme it would seem.
We need new “leaders”. Ones who have a moral compass and some sense of integrity.
“Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett have been big disappointments.”
Sundance, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett have been big disappointments??
Surely you jest, just as:
My tea is tepid, not quite at the right temperature.
We were warned about Barrett, and Kavanaugh went thru enough fire to be not the man he originally was.
How would Justices Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh have fared at the Nuremberg Trials. It’s always best to see yourself in the light of history. Conservatives when faced with danger avoid stretching their luck.
The Supreme Court became null and void as soon as they started ruling against the Constitution. This was decades ago. Under the 0bama regime Ruth Vader Ginsberg ruled for the white paper ruling of the Patriot(less) Act allowing 0bama to write a name on a piece of paper to murder, detain, or deal with in any way legal or illegal. Her statement made me want her hanged as she said “It’s un-Constitutional, but we have to trust 0bama”. They knowing break their sworn oaths and fail to do the one and only duty they have. Traitors all.
They no longer hold any legal authority as they broke the legal contract of the COMPACT that is the USA Constitution granting their LIMITED AUTHORITIES by the States For The People.
We need it to be brought in Thomas’ jurisdiction.
agreed..strategy
What exactly was Kavanaugh’s roll and how did it protect the Clintons?
FoiaFan@15poundstogo
I like to tweet this every six months or so. Just to creep people out. And so younger people can learn a little history.
One from the Clinton List:

This is the “conservative” supreme court that McConnell got us.
They don’t care, they are exempt from the mandates.
How right you are. 😒
I cannot understand why people would apply for a religious exemption and not simply say that medical decisions are between patient and doctor who knows and understands the situation of the patient. Neither a government medical advisor nor politician nor judge should be allowed to intervene. The doctor alone is responsible and is directly involved in the care. If the patient is not happy with the doctor or unsure a good family GP will have no problem with them getting a second opinion.
Because doctors aren’t writing notes for exemptions under license threats or because they drank the Koolaid. Religious exemption by law is automatic it’s the accommodation they negotiate.
I was recently terminated from my job. I submitted a religious exemption request and had intended to submit a medical exemption request as well.
In order to make the request for medical exemption, one must submit a doctor’s letter. My doctor, along with many, if not most, would not provide me a letter.
My daughter’s doctor provided her the letter and her medical exemption was still rejected. These people are out of their minds.
She then submitted a religious exemption that was approved.
Go figure!
Same for my family members. Doctors are threatened with license loss.
Look at all the Catholic justices standing tall for their denomination and faith. Or not.
There’s a lot of the “devout” in our totalitarian atheist government. Bidung, Pelosi,…….
Maybe Kavanaugh was guilty and it’s time Republicans woke up and started to go after him?
It’s (basically) a 3-3-3 Court.
3 on the Left.
3 on the Right.
3 in the middle who get to decide EVERYTHING.
Roberts, Kavanaugh & Barrett basically run this court now.
And they will side with the Left on issues that might result in cities burning.
The worst part of Kavanaugh and Barrett is the entire phony routine that was played out with the Dims, Uniparty Freaks, and their Lapdog Media.
My goodness, they must laugh their asses off in the DC Swamp over their manipulations of the little people.
The only way forward is to deal with this at the state level. If the Fed’s come knocking, send them on their way….with a smile if possible, with a boot to the rear if necessary.
Roberts is an embarrassment, but I think the jury is still out on Barrett and Kavanuagh. Seems like most of their rulings lean toward giving deference to state problems being resolved by the citizens of those states and their elected representatives in state legislatures. If they stay consistent with that principal, they will do more good than harm.
I am certainly not defending Judge Barrett but it is interesting that she rejected Indiana Students case against the University because the University did grant exemptions. So I am not sure what is going on with this case. Here is a little write up on the Indiana case.
https://www.jurist.org/news/2021/08/supreme-court-upholds-indiana-universitys-vaccine-mandate/
One thing for sure. I agree with those who say we have been betrayed by all. We will all have to work together to stop this madness.
It’s a mistake to found these arguments in religious framing. Is this not more about the sanctity and PRIMACY of the attending physician/patient relationship. Should not the patient and the attending physician of their choosing be the only arbiter in our society regarding the question what is and is not medically necessary for that particular patient.
People. Think about this. We are losing the primacy of our personal attending physician relationships. What happens when all the physicians are agents of their employer? What happens when the attending physician DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU.
The primacy and sanctity of the attending physician/patient relationship is both precious and primal to quality of life. It is essential the attending physician be of your choosing; that your physician works for YOU.
What could possibly be more important to you, me, our children’s future?
The decision to wear or not wear a mask is a medical decision. These 3rd party interlopers have no proper place in this. This is a decision to be made between you and the attending physician of your choosing. Same for the vaccination. Same for everything else.
To have it be otherwise is to reduce you and your loved ones to the status of ordinary livestock. A subject, not a citizen. A subordinate of non-attending physicians, clerks and whatever variety of interloper some administrator deems convenient for themselves. This is a terrifying scenario and it is playing out in real time before our eyes.
“It’s a mistake to found these arguments in religious framing.”
There is no other framework by which they may be understood. They cannot be founded on pragmatic or utilitarian considerations. Otherwise, they may be sacrificed for the sake of convenience.
In the context of State/Church relations, I offer this excerpt from Rousas J Rushdoony’s excellent analysis of Frederick the Elector and Martin Luther as a rebuttal:
“The unifying fact in the First Amendment is a man’s immunity in his faith and beliefs: the freedom to express his beliefs in religious worship, in speech, press, assembly, and petition. This law was framed by colonial men for whom these things were matters of faith and principle. There was therefore for them a necessary unity in this statement: instead of five rights they saw one fact. Their separation today means their diminution. It means also the steady decline of freedom in every aspect of the First Amendment.
“Thus, the purpose of the First Amendment was to bar the state from entrance into, or powers over, the principled or religious stand and expressions of law-abiding men in worship, instruction, speech, publication, assembly, and petition.”
Pragmatism argues that the state may force conscience as a matter of public policy—for the good of society.
The religious context of our First Amendment argues that obedience to God necessitates resistance to lawless decrees.
Violating the temple of the Living God will result in spiritual death. The religious argument for following our conscience regarding our medical choices cannot get any more compelling than that.
This mRNA “experiment” is clearly the mark of the beast that the Bible warned us about. Luciferase? I mean, really!
I’m hoping Barrett and Kavanaugh both were stupid enough to take the clot shot and suffer all the adverse side effects they would force on others.
When they appeal all the Biden Mandates, are they going to say it’s Constitutional to force every employer to mandate the death jab? I don’t see why not.
To be clear, the SC has not been providing much injunctive relief throughout the legal process. So I wouldn’t necessarily assume that the injunctive relief decision means the court won’t rule that the state violated the employee’s religious liberty. Based on recent cases on religious liberty that are moving through the SC, I think they will eventually get this one right.
I think the failure to provide injunctive relief is the SC basically saying that losing your job over your religious beliefs is not causing you irreparable harm. I think that stance is cowardly and not aligned with the pre-eminence of religious liberty but I think the Court sees this as “splitting the baby”.
Since we will never be able to get “lawfare” from the Marxists under control – the huns will always be storming the gates – I think it’s time to start legislating. We need a courageous super majority in Congress and we need them to start passing laws that prevent these things from ever happening again – curbing emergency powers, etc. It is critical to NOT vote for anyone who cannot deal with the pressure big business, big media, lobbyists, etc. are going to throw out there. We need cowboys in Congress !
