Arizona Attorney General: COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for City Employees Is Unconstitutional

Twitter, Facebook, President Biden, and Surgeon General sued for alleged censorship collusion
The complaint alleges a First Amendment violation. ...
Hart is alleging that his First Amendment free speech rights had been violated when his social media accounts got suspended for posting what is said to be a scientifically-based graphic under the title, “Masking Children is Impractical and Not Backed by Research or Real World Data.”
News outlets like the New York Post – who recall that their own factually correct, and occasionally bombshell stories (like the “Hunter Biden files“) got suppressed by Big Tech – suggest this claim should by now not be particularly contentious, let alone a reason for censorship. ...
Announcing the lawsuit, the Liberty Justice Center had this to say about it:
“Now these dominant social media platforms and the White House are openly collaborating to eliminate social media posts about COVID-19 that the administration finds objectionable, and to cancel or suspend the Facebook and Twitter accounts of people who raise issues about COVID they don’t want the public to see.”

Suit Contends Executive Order #225 Creates Two Classes of Citizens and Particularly Harms Black Americans
NEW YORK CITY, NY – With Mayor Bill de Blasio telling Black Americans in NYC to go to the back of the bus, America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) is championing what was filed today in Brooklyn, New York, what they believe is the Civil Rights case of the 21st Century. AFLDS contends that with a stroke of the pen, de Blasio created two classes of New Yorkers – vaccinated and unvaccinated – violating the Constitution and both New York State and New York City law.
The suit contends that an order that bars most Black Americans from participating in normal City life is racist on its face and that it is illegal as a matter of law to cause a “disparate impact” on Black Americans. Today courageous individuals stood up to oppose Medical Apartheid.
New York employment attorney Sheldon Karasik, who filed the case stated, “De Blasio has stated that his mission is to root out systemic racism across NYC. Yet de Blasio’s order is racist in its entirety. Mayor de Blasio’s recent Executive Order #225 was put into effect without consideration of history. The lessons of Tuskegee need to be brought to light to stop modern racists who continue the practices of Jim Crow.”

Lawsuit accusing tech giants of spying is allowed to proceed
A judge will allow the proceeding.
By Dan Frieth
Posted 9:34 am
These days, this is past the point of being big news, though it is very newsworthy: reports are saying that yet more lawsuits have been filed in the US, alleging that companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple are spying on their users.
Of course they do, cynics will say: that’s how they make money; they “have to” – just look at their business models (although Apple’s PR machine would beg to differ, even if the giant’s actions of late are beginning to speak louder than its words.)
The latest class action lawsuit that just got a go-ahead from a federal judge focuses on Big Tech’s growing ecosystem of “smart speakers” and “virtual assistants” like Apple’s Siri, with plaintiffs alleging that their devices end up listening on their private conversations when they are unaware of this, thanks to “accidental activation” – as well as that this is happening often enough, or “routinely” as they put it, to represent a real threat to their privacy.
Not only that, but the case that US District Judge Jeffrey White greenlit earlier in September basically accuses Apple of being no better than the gargantuan counterparts it is trying to compete with on a promise of privacy. (That would mean not collecting user data and selling it to advertisers, like Google, Amazon, Facebook and others infamously do.)
However, the plaintiffs in the Apple case say that this is precisely what is happening with their private conversations recorded by Siri when they don’t expect the service to be running.
In the legal battles with a focus on listening devices like “smart speakers,” etc, that are currently active in the US, Google and Amazon are not spared either. Reports, including by Reuters, say that a number of filings allege that their devices and apps are recording users’ conversations without their consent, and that Big Tech companies use this material to make money by giving it to advertisers, who can then more precisely target people based on knowledge of their behavior and interests.
To make matters worse, despite a steady stream of reports, lawsuits, and several scandals around these products, their use has seen considerable growth during the pandemic.
Arizona AG Sues Biden Administration Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

Arizona filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates that affect federal employees, most healthcare workers, and employees at numerous private businesses—likely the first lawsuit that was filed against the policies.
Federal Judge Blocks New York State Health Care Worker Vaccination Mandate
BY MATTHEW VADUM September 14, 2021
A federal judge on Tuesday granted an emergency injunction blocking the state of New York from enforcing a new CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.
Should people who have recovered from COVID-19 and are naturally immune be expected to get vaccinated?
Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at the University of California–Irvine, is adamant that they should not. He’s suing the school system’s president and Board of Regents over its coronavirus vaccination mandate.
“I’m going to be excluded or another natural immune person is going to be excluded from coming to campus, from going to school, or from working at the university because we have immunity that’s conferred by having had the virus [rather than] … immunity conferred by the vaccine,” he said.
In this interview, he explains how certain data being used to justify mandatory vaccination isn’t all that it seems. For example, the numbers on children and adolescents being hospitalized for COVID-19, for example, can be inflated by the way that they’re measured.
Beyond any function they serve in curbing spread of the virus, mandatory measures, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty argues, pose a serious and long-standing danger to people’s basic rights to privacy and freedom.
Federal Judge Blocks New York City’s School COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
BY ZACHARY STIEBER September 25, 2021
New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for teachers and other Department of Education staffers is on pause after a federal judge late Friday granted a request to temporarily block it.
Plaintiffs, a group of teachers, asked for a temporary injunction pending review by a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
U.S. Appeals Court Judge Joseph Bianco, a George W. Bush nominee, in a one-page order granted the request.
The panel will now decide whether to impose an injunction pending appeal or allow the mandate to take effect.
Rachel Maniscalco and three other New York City Department of Education workers sued over the mandate, which was supposed to start on Sept. 27.
They said the order, which requires all workers to show proof they’ve received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, is government overreach, violating the U.S. Constitution’s Due Process Clause. That clause states in part that no state can “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
The right to pursue a profession is a liberty interest and the mandate, which threatens to cost workers who don’t comply with their jobs, interferes with it, the suit said.
Children’s Health Defense Sues Rutgers University Over COVID Vaccine Mandate
The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Rutgers is working with Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson to study and develop their vaccines in on-going clinical trials, and will benefit financially if more people are required to take the shots.
Parents, Lawmakers Sue Over New York’s School Mask Mandate
BY PETR SVAB September 27, 2021
A group of New York parents and two local legislators are suing to overturn the state’s requirement for school children to wear masks.
United Airlines is facing two separate lawsuits over its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
One of the two lawsuits was filed in the U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, Texas. In that suit, the employee alleges that their religious exemption was not accommodated.
Last week, before the mandate went into effect, six employees asked a federal judge to block the vaccination requirement.
The employees, including two pilots and a flight attendant, are accusing the airline of a "pattern of discrimination against employees who requested religious or medical accommodations." They say the airline's approach of putting exempt employees on an indefinite leave of absence means "that they would be effectively terminated."

Nearly 200 Minnesota Healthcare Workers Sue Employers Over Vaccine Mandates
BY JACK PHILLIPS September 29, 2021
Almost 200 Minnesota healthcare workers sued their employers in a bid to block COVID-19 vaccine mandates at their facilities.
There are currently no FDA APPROVED tests for Covid. They only have an EUA and according to 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3, the law that regulates EUA products, individuals "have the option to refuse administration of the product." This applies to the injections too.
You have the right to refuse without any consequences!
If your company is threatening you or coercing you into taking the shot or the tests or you will be fired, I say let them fire you. Do not resign. Stand your ground. I believe all of these companies are bluffing. Yes, you might get fired, but you will have a very strong wrongful termination case if they do. And they know this. Especially if you submitted a Religious Exemption.
We really have no choice - they are forcing us to fight back. So get prepared financially, food, water, mentally, and spiritually. It will probably get worse before it gets better.

A Virginia-based parent group attempting to oust five Loudoun County School Board members was given a small win after a Loudoun County Circuit Court judge ruled Tuesday in favor of the organization’s recall petition against a board member who sought to dismiss it.
On Tuesday, a judge denied Loudoun County school board member Beth Barts’ motion to dismiss the case and also removed Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj from the case.
The group Fight For Schools and others have alleged that Barts was involved in a private Facebook group that violated the School Board’s Code of Conduct and other laws after members allegedly tried to attempt to reveal private information about parents and opponents.
Judge Jeanette Irby, meanwhile, ruled that Biberaj should be removed from the case due to a public perception issue, arguing the public may not trust the prosecutor to be impartial.
“I have the utmost respect for Ms. Biberaj … however, if she continued on this case there would never be acceptance on this case,” Irby said, according to local media outlets.
An attorney for Citizens of Leesburg, another plaintiff in the case, cited a Twitter post made by Biberaj in which she shared a letter to the editor published in Loudoun Now that supported the district’s diversity, equity, and inclusion work—which is closely aligned with the quasi-Marxist critical race theory that’s now at the center of many heated school board debates across the United States.
Biberaj was also listed as a member of the same private Facebook group in which Barts had belonged—Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun—where members were allegedly sought to reveal private information, or “doxx,” parents and opponents of critical race theory.
The Epoch Times has contacted the Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office and the school district for comment.
Ian Prior, who is involved in the charge to remove Barts from the school board, said he is pleased with the judge’s decision on Tuesday.
“We are ecstatic,” Prior told WJLA. “I can say for months, parents have been asking for a seat at the table. We haven’t been heard by the school board. They haven’t given us that opportunity. The leaders here haven’t stepped up to try to come to resolution about what’s going on in schools, but yesterday the court gave us that seat at the table.”
“I feel like the judge looked at the evidence and made a decision that was right,” Fight for Schools supporter Erin Dunbar, also a parent, said after the hearing, according to Loudoun Now. “I think she’s unbiased. She’s looking at the evidence in front of her and I think she’s actually going to give us a fair trial.”
Earlier this year, when she was censured over her social media activity, Barts said in a statement: “It’s not my job to be liked. It’s my job to ask hard questions, work to provide the best education for our kids, make sure our teachers are paid what they really deserve, and represent the people of Leesburg.”
Her statement came after School Board Vice Chairwoman Atoosa Reaser asserted in March that Barts repeatedly violated the school board’s code of conduct.
Meanwhile, a several-month-long Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office investigation found that social media posts in the private Facebook group did not constitute criminal action, according to local media. The office, as a result, did not pursue criminal charges against any of the members after they received complaints alleging “evidence of organized criminal activity intended to infringe upon 1st Amendment rights and [violations of] certain laws surrounding the crimes of stalking, harassment, and racketeering.”
Kaiser Complaint
This Lawsuit Challenges Kaiser’S Mandate That All 217,000 Employees Be Vaccinated By September 30, 2021 Or Be Placed On Unpaid Leave.
For those who think lawsuits are the answer:
J&J knew that asbestos was getting into the talcum powder it was selling across America. This was well established through evidence shown in court from internal J&J e-mails. It sold the powder anyways. Women that came down with cancer because of this filed a lawsuit against J&J. Years of litigation came about and J&J filed appeals against the court rulings and lost those appeals. Instead of paying the couple of billion dollars in restitution to the victims, it moved that unit into a subsidiary that declared bankruptcy. Therefore, no money for the victims.

Service members from all five branches of the military, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a class action lawsuit against the Department of Defense over its COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The 24 plaintiffs “face a deadline under the Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to receive a COVID-19 vaccine that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs, and have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation,” according to Liberty Counsel, the Christian legal firm that filed the lawsuit.
The lawsuit (pdf), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, lists President Joe Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as defendants.
Plaintiffs are asking the court to issue a temporary restraining order (pdf) to prevent the COVID-19 vaccine mandates from taking effect, and ultimately issue an injunction to prevent the Pentagon from enforcing the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Biden on Sept. 9 issued an executive order requiring almost all federal employees to get a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. Regular testing is not an option.

families in the school district of Saline, Michigan
Several U.S. states on Friday mounted multiple federal lawsuits against the Biden administration over its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal workers and contractors.
Texas sued individually in a federal court in Galveston. Another lawsuit, filed in a federal district court in Missouri involves Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Yet another lawsuit, filed in a federal district court in Georgia, involves Georgia, Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia.
The lawsuits come a day after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he sued the administration over the same vaccine mandate. As of late Friday, the total number of states suing the Biden administration over the mandate is 19.
President Joe Biden on Sept. 9 issued a far-reaching executive order that requires almost all federal employees to get a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment, including civilian federal employees and contractors. The order goes into effect on Dec. 8. Regular COVID-19 testing isn’t an option, but religious or medical exemptions from vaccination may be granted, according to the order. Contractors that don’t comply may lose out on government contracts.
All 19 states seek to block Biden’s requirement, arguing that the mandate violates federal procurement law and is an overreach of federal power. The states also argue that Biden’s vaccine mandate violates the 10th Amendment that separates the power between federal and state governments; uses federal spending to coerce the states, which is unconstitutional; and did not properly allow for 60 days of public comment.

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.
But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.
