Justice Neil Gorsuch Says What Needs To Be Said

 Some of you all may be wondering why I never sued my former employer over my firing over the Trump shot. The reason was that I saw that the courts were in on the blatant disregard of the law and if they were to find in my favor they would also be indicting themselves. This is because they too had imposed such burdens on their employees. Ye olde t"wo wolves and a sheep debate what's for dinner" situation.

 With that said let's look at what Gorsuch has said

:

"the Court took a serious misstep when it effectively allowed nonparties to this case to manip- ulate our docket to prolong an emergency decree designed for one crisis in order to address an entirely different one."

 The nice thing here is that Gorsuch discusses the abuse of emergency decrees.

Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emer- gency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes.13 They shuttered businesses and schools, public and private.14 They closed churches even as they al- lowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on.15 They threatened violators not just with civil penalties but with criminal sanctions too.1

 I noted the way the states acted to criminalize things like walking down the street and not wearing a face diaper. It was quite revealing to see so called "black leaders' like Ras Baraka and Eric Adams have black people arrested for "being outside" and supporting medical segregation.

Federal executive officials entered the act too. Not just with emergency immigration decrees. They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide.19 They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate for most working Americans.20

An absolute abuse of power as well as a usurpation of power that had no constitutional basis.

"Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.23"

I know all about that. I stopped posting to YouTube for this very reason.

"Courts bound to protect our liberties addressed a few—but hardly all—of the intrusions upon them. In some cases, like this one, courts even allowed themselves to be used to perpetuate emergency public-health decrees for collateral purposes, itself a form of emergency-lawmaking- by-litigation."

Like I said in the opening.
