Liberty Counsel filed a class action lawsuit Oct. 15, 2021, against Joseph R. Biden, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security on behalf of members from all branches of the military, federal employees and federal civilian contractors. The lawsuit is regarding unlawful COVID vaccine mandates that result in dishonorable discharge or termination of employment if refused.
Since this has been filed as a class action lawsuit, people have been inquiring about joining or being named in the suit. That option is not yet available as certification of the class action is still pending.
Until then, Liberty Counsel motioned for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction on behalf of the plaintiffs "against the Defendants’ enforcement of the unconscionable, unconstitutional, and unlawful Federal COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate that all United States Armed Forces service members, civilian federal contractors accept or receive a COVID-19 vaccination in violation of their sincerely held religious beliefs."
Why are the TRO and preliminary injunction needed in this case?
Equitable in nature, both TROs and preliminary injunctions are court orders requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. They can be issued by the judge early in a lawsuit to stop the defendant from continuing his or her course of action to prevent possible injustice and irreparable harm to the plaintiff. It is an extraordinary remedy that courts utilize in special cases to alter or maintain the status quo, depending on the circumstances.
In this case, a TRO or preliminary injunction could put a temporary halt on vaccine mandates nationwide for the three categories of plaintiffs named in the lawsuit: military, federal employees and federal contractors.
Liberty Counsel has stated that injunctive relief is appropriate. The plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their Religious Freedom of Restoration Act and First Amendment claims against the Federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate, as well as the claim that the mandate violates the EUA provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
"An injunction against Biden and his administration would apply nationally to all three categories in the lawsuit—everyone in the military, federal workers and federal civilian contractors," says Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. "A win on Count One [upholding provisions under the Emergency Use Authorization law] will impact everyone nationwide to have the option to accept or refuse the shots."
If anyone wants on my ping list for this topic, let me know by Private Reply. I will include you. Thanks.
They are considered for employment purposes two separate employees.
During the week, not members of the military.
On their weekend and two weeks they are military.
Still gonna have to disagree. When someone is hired into an ART position, the different aspects of their employee are tied together. They are, essentially, one employee, not two. I work with these folks daily, I know this to be true.
Fentanyl
Yeah.
I talked to a friend today I had not talked to in a year or two. The phone call lasted 45 minutes.
This man has barely been sick a day in his life, took no pills, not even an aspirin. To see his grandkids in Dallas he recently agreed to get the shot. 3 days later he was on a Life Flight because he couldn’t breathe due to blood clots in his lungs.
The danger of this shot is REAL folks!
Ping.
I will not be surprised if they declare a surcharge on tricare, including retirees and medicare who have not been vaccine poisoned.
Time may prove me right.
Think about it. Be prepared as you can.
This is not borrowing trouble, just being realistic.
Just a fluke.
Right.
The vaccines are dangerous.
I dont have many neigjbors. Two households out of ten within a mile radius have had vaccine caused deaths. One man over 75 and one over 50.
The stories abound. The stuff is nasty.
That’s terrible. Yes, the dangers are real and it’s only just started. Long term adverse effects could be catostrophic.
oh my God. This is awful what’s happening. I’m sorry about your friend and certainly hope he recovers fully and quickly.
If my medical premiums go up because of this madness, I’ll drop my medical coverage, like a hot potato.
Oh man, that’s terrible. Prayers for your friend.
Oh man, that’s terrible. Prayers for your friend.
Thanks for the ping.
i have an issue pinning this case to religious objections.
this is objectionable to ALL US citizens and a violation of ALL their Constitutional rights

We have, or had rather, congress critters who are in the reserves or guard.
They are both military and not military depending on what role they are filling.
Any port in a storm but i tend to agree.
They are making a mockery out of religion over this “ sincerity” test charade.
Incorrect.
They most certainly are!
