Justice Sotomayor Upbraids SCOTUS Majority for
‘Playing a Deadly Game’ With COVID Restrictions

Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog, 11/26/2020 8:41:08 PM

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a stinging rebuke of her conservative colleagues, calling out what she perceived as hypocrisy and false equivalencies in Wednesday’s ruling against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions. In a 5-4 decision, the court’s conservative block of justices granted a temporary injunction requested by a Catholic Diocese and two Orthodox Jewish synagogues. By so doing, the court narrowly held that Cuomo’s regulations limiting attendance at religious services likely violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It was the court’s first major decision since the staunchly conservative Justice Amy Coney Barret joined

An Associate Just-Us of the SCOTUS and not once did she mention the Constitution. Just that the Court should give unlimited power over We the People all based on conjecture and wishful thinking. She is everything we have come to expect from cowards to scared to run for office but power mad making laws from their Black Robed tower. Not once did she mention the Constitution. Not once!

Consider if ol' Ginsburg had NOT kicked the bucket last summer. She would of course have voted the other way. It would have been 5-4 to Restrict going to Church. One of our PRIMARY, GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS would have been..... abolished. THANKS AGAIN to President Trump and Mitch McConnel for acting promptly and filling the Supreme Court seat with a Constitutionalist. Also, the court affirming people's RELIGIOUS RIGHT to attend church does NOT Mandate going to church. People have the Freedom to choose..... to attend, or stay home, as they wish.

Did she comment on COVID risks of the BLM demonstrations? If not, can she explain why overlooking those supposed risks while rebuking those of church attendance is anything other than a self-unaware bigotry that she ought to have examined by now? If she will not do the work to identify and challenge her own bigotry she ought not be a judge.

FTA: Notably, the Catholic Sotomayor was joined in her dissent by Justice Elena Kagan, who is Jewish and rarely joins with her colleague’s more acerbic dissents. Correction: who is Jewish, and not a total idiot. I have more respect for a Latina that cleans motel rooms, or grinds her own corn for her 4X4 Taqueria than for this overpaid, under-qualified, opinionated Jenny.

Let’s play “Are You Smarter Than a Wise Latina Supreme Court Justice?”. It’s not even hard to win. First, the job of a Supreme Court Justice is to consider the constitutionality of proposed laws and not their medical efficacy. The spirit of the Constitution is to allow American citizens to decide how to conduct their own lives. Laws that prohibit certain activities are intended to prevent anyone from recklessly or intentionally causing harm to others. The asymptomatic going to religious services in a world where humans can contract deadly viruses by going about their daily lives has not traditionally been seen as such an activity. Citizens are aware of COVID and its dangers and have the right to decide to peaceably assemble to practice their religion. Her ridiculous comparison between Jews and Christians attending services in the U.S. and the Trump administration temporarily banning visas for travel to the U.S. from Muslim countries that have openly threatened the safety of Americans smacks of activism, obtuseness or malevolence. We in the U. S. have been badgered into submission for over fifty five years and have allowed generations of immigrants to come to this country and immediately assert their preferences on the native population. This has got to stop.

"infects a people million weekly". What does that mean? one million test positive (yes). one million have symptoms (no). one million are incapacitated (no) Remember, 99% of those million will recuperate. How many actually die? The way the MSM reports the news (1000 new cases or 1000 positive tests) does not mean 1000 new infections or 1000 newly incapacitated new patients. This does not even mention the age range for new sick patients (mostly over 75 years), Lawyers tend to read the headlines and not look at the details. The propagandists know this and grossly inflame the headlines. The lawyers and propagandists deserve each other but the rest of us deserve some common sense.

Madam Justice, Your task is not to act as a medical professional, but only as you were appoint to do..That very narrow topic is the contents of the US Constitution. You are to evaluate items brought to your attention and determine if they meet the set restrictions on government action against the people the contract covers, citizens of the US. Your source document is the US Constitution as amended. You are not to read 'between' the lines, nor interpret the meaning of what, in your opinion, it should have said (Looking at you Roberts) but WHAT was presented. Simple example. The 1st Amendment limits the government. In case you forgot it is: Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. So, Since these fine people are exercising their religious requirements, and for that matter peaceably assemble. The government isn't allowed to limit that. (I would note that permits are unconstitutional, but that's another matter). Do you see any exceptions? I don't. And I didn't even take out a student loan to go to law school ( a Training Institution). There is no Federal limitation period. So IF it's not *specified* in the Constitution, who has the say so on that? Well golly gee, someone added that (you might have not read that far once you decided abortion was a right).. It's the 10th Amendment, the last of the original limitations on government. It says: Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Ok, so did you understand the word 'delegated'? Ok so it falls to the individual State or the People. So the State can say No! You can't assemble! , Well wait a sec there is that second phrase.. Nor *prohibited* by it to the States. What is "it", well our contract. And any decent lawyer should understand basic contract law. This is the 'clean up' of a very well defined document, it says " Hey, if the world changes or we missed something it's is a right of the State or the People,(key phrase) UNLESS, we already told you 'No.' Ok, So 'Justice' Sotomayor, I jumped out of my comfort zone of fixing things for people to try to help you do your job, I'm sorry if my words don't match yours, but I know and have read the document my forefathers (ok, I'm an immigrant that had NO rights here until my grandparents jumped through the legal hoops to BE citizens..) So be it the founders/representative of the REAL power (the States and People) signed this contract and I understand the simple words. It doesn't say 'Oh, you must look at Black's sithxth edition to learn what a term of art is, these words are in black and white before Black was a twinkle in his father's eye. You are lying. Flat out. It may not be a bother to you, but your ilk ten to reuse bad judgement as 'fact' This needs to stop. Signed, A party to our contract, and proud Citizen. Addendum: My apologies and thanks to Mrs Goldburg and crew , I promised to drop more in the collection box next time it comes round. (consider that 'cup of coffee' thing..I kinda like that) Bless you all and I am happy we had the money to cook the dinner we always wanted.

She's upset over inadvertent COVID transmissions, a disease with a survival rate of 99.6% But completely unfazed over abortion, a deliberate act of killing, and with a survival rate of 0%. Just as a reminder, with the exception of only a few who survive a botched abortion, the batting average is as follows: Abortionists 61,000,000, unborn children 0.

Quite frankly, I question the expert judgment of many health officials. They have driven this train wreck and the country has suffered by listening to their expertise. Clearly, the only truth she seeks comes from the opinion of medial experts who agree with her philosophy of government control while she ignores the basic fundamental right of every American to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness regardless of what else is going on in the country. Those rights are given to us by God and are not to be trifled with by SCOTUS. Their job is to affirm those rights, not to impede them in any way. Once again, the left is driven by feelings and believe they are entitled to rule over the rest of us and ignore the Constitution.

Justices on the Supreme Court are supposed to Judge a case on the law. Not their personal opinions, and they are never to chastise the other Justices, If they have a complaint on a case they should write their complaint bearing on the law. Neither Kagan or Sotomeyer belong on the highest court in the land.

Let’s hear from all four dissenters - that’s fine, it’s all written on record. Point being in all this, people have a right to choose whether they want to go to church, synagogue, etc., and pray. They have a right to weigh the evidence according to where they live, where they worship and their own physical conditions, just like the choices they make when going to grocery stores. There’s something sinister afoot when denying people’s religious rights.

There is NO question in my mind that Sotomayor is on the Court because she is a Hispanic female, and probably gay. She is a quota, and did/does NOT have any kind of sterling qualifications. She has also, not more than a brief handful of times, ever voted after considering a case constitutionally but ALWAYS votes along Democratic party lines. The Republicans, in their unerring deferment to a President's choice, allowed her in. When are we going to wise up.....this is no longer, it is so obvious you could trip on it, an ethical, play by the rules society anymore............there is no question that there was widespread fraud in the Presidential election and now we are trueing to lock the barn door after the horse has been stolen.

SCOTUS has ruled and that’s all there is to it. They reaffirmed the Constitution says what it says and that petty dictators cannot pick and choose to whom and when it applies. Typical of the left to try to try to subvert the Constitution by using “experts” to deprive some people but not others of their rights. There is no end to this type of logic and it stopped with this ruling. This is far more significant than most people realize. For example “experts” could say that gun owners are more likely to be mentally disturbed than non-gun owners therefore they have to have annual mental health examinations to keep their gun permits and if they refuse they loose their rights. With a little imagination you can see how this could be used against any group of people to deprive them of their rights.

The dissenters were Sotomayor, Kegan, Breyer, and ROBERTS. Not much comment on that yet. Our big government Republicans are starting to show their hands. Rather than hiding behind the Democrats, they are publicly siding with them. With regard to that, we may well be reaching a tipping point in our country. We will either follow the rule of law or the rule of tyrants.

Judgements based from the beginning on false data and premises? The simple fact, Madam Justice, is that there is no expert consensus. People should have enough brains and sense to act responsibly as they see the threat. The whole idea was never to STOP the illness, but to "flatten the curve". Thank you for your panic on my behalf.

Detestable and vile beast. First appointed to a federal bench by the equally worthless George H. W. Bush. It figures. But, when the nomination to SCOTUS sent by Ovomit was being considered, what of the "stalwarts" of the Republicrat cabal?? Well, consider the "yea" votes, from low down skunks sporting an (R) sweater: Lamar Alexander (spit, spit) Kit Bond Susan Collins ( spit, spit, spit) Lindsey Graham (spit, spit) Judd Gregg Richard Lugar Mel Martinez Olympia Snowe (retch) George Voinovich Never again should the creeps in the RNC and that gang of creeps and treasonous illegitimate seek systemic support. Hang them next to the Dumbocraps. A murrain upon them all.

Sotomayor's job is not to decide cases based on her feelings about disease or exaggerations of disease. Her job is to decide cases based on the constitution. I hate leftists more and more as time goes by.

The two cunning linguists are now speaking to each other and themselves, after the appointment of Barrett to the Court. When Sotomayor was nominated for the 3rd circuit, she brought her beard to the Judiciary hearing. She didn't even bother to do that, when she was nominated for the Supreme Court. I had hoped for some rationality from Sonia, and I was proven wrong. Now as she awaits the consequences of her morbid obesity - bad for everyone, but especially lethal for a Type I diabetes sufferer - I will hope she has an epiphany, on her road to perdition. Elena Kagen is unworthy of an insult.

She makes these statements in her dissent, not in an out-of-court statement. She apparently doesn't understand the Constitution because she compares the strict scrutiny given in free exercise of religion cases to lack of heightened scrutiny given to the so-called Muslim ban. People trying to enter the United States do not have Constitutional protections. They are not entitled to claim discrimination at all.

UTLA teachers have been warned not to post vacation pictures on social media as the union continues to seek a safe return to in-person instruction amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report Monday. The teachers were urged to keep spring break pictures off social media because it could hurt the union's argument that it's currently unsafe to return to the classroom, according to a screenshot that appeared to be from a roughly 5,700 member Facebook group titled, "UTLA FB GROUP- Members Only."

Student loan forgiveness may become

Here’s what that means for borrowers

Posted by NorthernDog 3/8/2021 1:48:12 PM Post Reply
A significant provision making any student loan forgiveness tax-free has been included in the $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package that’s working its way through Congress and will likely soon be signed into law. Currently, any student loan debt canceled by the government can be considered taxable and levied at the borrower’s normal income tax rate. For example, if someone earns $50,000 a year, and was at a 22% tax rate, and received $30,000 in student loan forgiveness, they might be slapped with a $6,600 bill from the IRS. Soon, borrowers may be off the hook from these payments. What

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill postponed the start of Derek Chauvin's trial in the killing of George Floyd on Monday, after an appeals court ordered him to reconsider his original decision to dismiss a third-degree murder charge against the former Minneapolis police officer. The decision came as a pool of potential jurors waited to start the selection process. The delay comes as Chauvin's defense attorney, Eric Nelson, said he is finalizing an appeal asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to review the question of whether Cahill should consider reinstating the murder charge.

SANAA - Yemen’s Houthi forces fired drones and missiles at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry on Sunday, including a Saudi Aramco facility at Ras Tanura vital to petroleum exports, in what Riyadh called a failed assault on global energy security. The Saudi energy ministry said there were no casualties or loss of property from the attacks. The defence ministry said it intercepted an armed drone coming from the sea prior to hitting its target at an oil storage yard at Ras Tanura, site of a refinery and the world’s biggest offshore oil loading facility.

LA County is considering returning a beachfront property to the descendants of its original owners who were the first Black landowners in Manhattan Beach, California. As KABC-TV reported, Willia and Charles Bruce's property was taken away when the city council used eminent domain in 1924.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
