Second Circuit Issues An Order Staying New York’s COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate For Healthcare Workers.
Approximately 30 minutes ago (current time 5:54 PM EST, September 24, 2021), the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued an order staying enforcement of New York’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for healthcare workers in a case brought by four of my clients, including We The Patriots USA, Inc. This order will prevent enforcement of the mandate until three judges from the Second Circuit can decide whether to impose a continued injunction pending appeal.
While a district court in the Northern District of New York issued a similar stay last week in a case brought by my good colleagues at the Thomas More Society, the Second Circuit’s order ensures that the Northern District’s decision will last longer and carries more authority. It also means that my clients will likely lead the fight to the United States Supreme Court on the most important religious freedom issue of our time – the right to reject a state medical mandate when it requires you to violate your religious beliefs. We owe a major debt of gratitude to We The Patriots USA for making this fight possible.
My clients and colleagues, Norm Pattis and Austin Voss, are thrilled with this result, and we are confident that we will prevail in this fight. Our oldest and most valued liberty – the First Amendment to freely exercise our religion – does not yield to medical nazism and democratic totalitarianism. New York sought to trample all over our clients’ liberty to follow their consciences, and the Second Circuit has said not so fast. We look forward to the Second Circuit and, if necessary, the United States Supreme Court telling New York and the rest of the medical nazis trying to dominate our lives: Not now. Not ever.
Now that it’s November 11, I and other doctors on Long Island have been told we cannot enter the hospital to care for our patients because our religious exemptions have been rescinded. How is this possible? Where is the constitutional protection? Are there now any appeals in motion to protect our rights?
thank you! I just donated since I am so thankful for all you are doing! I am a healthcare worker and have an approved exemption – only thanks to groups like this am I still employed at my hospital! thank you !
This is very great to hear. Thank you so much for fighting the good fight. We are all sending prayers your way.
Thank you for fighting for all the healthcare workers who have NO ONE on their side right now. We feel helpless and scared. Keep fighting for our rights to liberty and justice for all! 🇺🇸 Our rights are being violated. This is illegal and unconstitutional. We will not comply!
What happens to the hospitals, that went ahead and used fear tactics insisting their employees get the vax .. Garnett Health Care Center in Middletown NY
God bless you fine people. I so VERY much appreciate your work. So good to see ethical counselors using their skill sets and education and status as members of the Bar to conduct such necessary work to force this totalitarianism off of us all.
Our elected officials have gotten WAY WAY too big for their britches and need a STRONG reminder that we answer to THE LAW AS WRITTEN AND NOT THE CHINESE AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATIONS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND CORPORATE FUNCTIONARIES!
The plaintiffs need a BIG round of applause for supporting the ethos to bring the suit, and of course for funding the attorneys who DO NOT AND CANNOT WORK FOR FREE.
My Wife and Family are direct beneficiaries of this suit as my Wife’s job is immediately effected by this.
For everyone involved INCLUDING the JUDGES who are standing up for the LAW AS WRITTEN and for the very SPIRIT OF THE LAW and our FOUNDING DOCUMENTS, WHICH CLEARLY FORBID ANYTHING LIKE THIS FORCED MASK WEARING AND FORCED VACCINATION, I say “ALLELUIA ALLELUIA ALLELUIA!”
The GOOD news is WINNING!
In Liberty with you all!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
