“You think you got the horses for that? Well, good luck and God bless, but I tell you this…the last place you want to see me is in court.” (attorney Arthur Edens, in the film, Michael Clayton, 2007)
Memo to lawyers: What are you waiting for? File big cases now.

I’ve been covering the decision in the Pennsylvania COVID case and the court filing in Ohio. They give us the templates for potential victories in other states and countries.
(‘Lawsuit’ article archive here)
In Pennsylvania (ruling), a federal judge just ruled that Governor Wolf’s COVID containment measures are unconstitutional. The judge went further. NO emergency cancels the Constitution. There is a line that cannot be crossed. The right to assemble, to have freedom of movement, to earn a living—they can’t be wiped off the board by lockdowns for ANY reason.
This is, indeed, a heroic ruling. It affirms the unmistakable rays of light emanating from the basis of the American Republic.
In Tom Renz’s gigantic Ohio filing against Governor Mike DeWine, both the Constitution and issues of fact/science are asserted. Facts mean something. A declaration of emergency must undergo scrutiny, to determine whether a clear and present danger justifies the declaration.
Otherwise, a government can destroy the Constitution, the rule of law, and human rights by falsely claiming danger when there is none. We would be back in the time of Royal Edict, with the king’s army as the “rationale.”
(Attorney press release posted here; Attorney plaintiff document filed with court posted here.)
In 2020, lunatic cultural proclivities, media propaganda, political jockeying, pretensions of science, scare tactics, rigging of “facts,” and profit motives are in the mix. They produce amnesia about basic principles.
The law, when correctly applied, refreshes memory and sweeps away a blizzard of claims and counter-claims. The law comes to the point.
Using the law, one can say to governors and their public health advisors, “You’ve been going on for months now about the COVID spread and the emergency and the containment measures, but we want to reduce this to basics: do you have the Constitutional right to strip away our freedoms, and is there a factual reason to believe a state of emergency is necessary—so we’re going to court.”
Or, putting it another way: “Sir, you’re holding a gun to my head while you’re explaining at length why I can’t move. But you see, nothing has happened in court yet. Meet my lawyer. Are you going to shoot us both? Is that where you really want to go?”
In Ohio, attorney Tom Renz, on behalf of his clients, and against the governor, is asking for a jury trial. He wants citizens to hear the complex arguments about COVID SCIENCE. He wants citizens to understand the con and the game that is being played, in great detail. This is impressive. Renz believes The People deserve to know and they are capable of understanding.
From my nearly 40 years working as a reporter, experience tells me attorney Renz is correct. When the truth is laid out step by step, The People come to their senses. They cut through their own malaise. They cut through media indoctrination. As if they once took a voyage to an island called Logic, they suddenly remember that voyage.
After all, the COVID lockdowns and the economic destruction are being visited on the population at large, so let a dozen of their members (OUR members) hear the case and adjudicate it.
I’m not naïve about courts and judges and lawyers and juries. But I do know that, among the denizens of that system, there are keen minds and persons of good will. Persons who know that the Law, as it was once enshrined by the Founders, is a beacon and a breakthrough.
It is a culmination, after centuries of struggle, which places freedom at the head of the table.
Freedom—not edicts, not lockdowns.
What is COVID science? Has the virus actually been defined? Have case and death numbers been drastically inflated? Is there a pandemic? Why is a diagnostic test that has so many holes, that has never been properly validated, being deployed? How many obfuscations has the CDC planted to hide official secrets?
Let’s go to court and turn on the lights and explore the rabbit hole.
I’m sorry if you are in the state of being single now. I stopped that back in 2013 when I got married. Although by this point I get visited by my mother occasionally and the preschool child physically attends school.
“And frankly my beef is with Wolf and Fauci, not some $8 store clerk who’s been told to police this.”
I agree, but I would put the business owner as somewhat responsible now. I wouldn’t be surprised if my gym winds up closing. It’s at about 10% busy of pre-covid gym goers.
The worst part, to me, is what appears to be dehumanization.
People are not speaking to one another. It’s sad.
A week is long enough for a legislature to get together, get informed, and pass a law if necessary.
It’s an apples/oranges comparison. Sweden has a different culture, even different immunities from us. We would need a very controlled experiment within our own population.
I will NOT vote for ANYONE who supports mask mandates in any way, shape or form. Period.
Ferguson went to go have an affair outside of his household. He didn’t even live by his own recommendation for quarantine.
“Realistically the virus isn’t going to be contained within a week. Make it a month or two and I’d be on board too. “
If that is the general perception, I would think the legislature would give him that much time, but I want to keep the “dear leaders” on a short leash. Again, each of these deadlines can be revisited as things change.

In our present reality, there are few to no reputable sources of information that can be adjudged so purely on their format or affiliations.
EVERY information-bearing site, print or video, is either a blog or a vlog. Including those with millions of dollars behind them, printing facilities or broadcasting platforms.
We all can vet a source after all these decades of watching the official information sources reveal their corruption and bias. Those who cannot need to acquire that discernment ASAP.
There are no official, unimpeachable sources or platforms.
Rappaport is an award-winning old-school journalist who has been cancelled by the prog Borg. Anyone who wishes can study his history, accomplishments and, being rational, read his work and its attributions and decide for themselves.
‘Blog’/’vlog’ is no longer a pejorative meaning rantings of an uneducated fool. It simply means a platform and can be either an organization, an association of individuals or a single person.
I’m old enough to remember when Jon Rappaport had the imprimatur of the establishment. That establishment has changed, and not for the better. Rappaport has not.
I still want to know I’m clicking on a blog regardless of who’s the author.
Click. Take a look. You’re a smart person. You’ll know and it won’t cost you a cent, just about 2 minutes.
So, once in a while you find a fraud or a nut job. So what? You aren’t marrying them.
Afraid to encourage them? A click every once in a while doesn’t translate to support or encouragement. Even on Amazon Kindle, you can vet out a book for free and, (bonus) clicks that don’t result in sales diminishes their click-thru stats and sends them lower in the internet ratings. (There’s an actual marketing term for this, but it’s late, I’m tired and I can’t recall at the moment.)
Two minutes for a blogger is not what I come to FR for.....there is a special group for bloggers if you have that interest.. I suggest that’s how you post.
BTW...I’m not intersted in wing nuts who are involved in mystic philosophies and esoteric mumbo jumbo..
