New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they're now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY.
⠀
The $118,000 bill is one day, not the cap. Three one-room schools alone already owe that much for 59 children, at $2,000 each.
⠀
Health Commissioner Mary Bassett imposed it on December 15, 2022. She called the sum conservative because it assumed only one day out of compliance.
⠀
Dygert Road was billed $52,000 for 26 children. Pleasant View was billed $46,000 for 23.
⠀
Shady Lane was billed $20,000 for 10.
⠀
Footnote 9 of the Second Circuit opinion records the state's view. Each day an unvaccinated student attends is a fresh violation and a fresh $2,000 fine.
⠀
Another day for those 59 children is another $118,000. A 180-day year at that rate is about $21 million, and the families say they cannot pay the first bill.
⠀
Joseph Miller, Jonas Smucker, and Ezra Wengerd run the schools. The schools sit in Clymer and Heuvelton, plus the Canajoharie settlement, and take no public money.
⠀
They had a religious exemption for decades. On June 13, 2019, Democrats repealed it after measles spread through Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Rockland County.
⠀
Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill. Governor Kathy Hochul left it in force.
⠀
A parent may not excuse a child for faith.
⠀
Senator James Skoufis said the exemption was made up and fake. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz called it utter garbage.
⠀
Counsel Aaron Siri told the New York Post the families can pay only if the state takes their land. Some in the community have talked of leaving the state.
⠀
The case is Miller versus McDonald. The Second Circuit ruled against them on June 30 in 2026.
⠀
A Supreme Court petition was due around September 28.

Make sure EVERYONE sees this. If WE don't stand up for these incredible men and women - WHO WILL?!?!?!
⠀
Where is the “my body my choice crowd now”?

Oklahoma State Question 845 needs to be a no.

The 1965 Oklahoma Supreme Court scandal was a massive corruption case, that involved 3 justices taking bribes over 2 decades. It was one of the most shocking judicial scandals in the countries history, at the time. It drew so much national attention that Time Magazine covered the incident.

Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice N.S. Corn, was serving a federal prison sentence for tax evasion in 1964. During this time, Corn admitted to accepting bribes for decades and implicated justices Napoleon Bonaparte Johnson and Earl Welch. House Rep G.T. Blankenship would make this knowledge public in January of 1965, by reading the Corn confession aloud to the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

This scandal would result in the formation of the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) in 1967. The JNC would be formed through a vote of the people to amend the Constitution, to create the 15 member body. They would be tasked with restoring public trust and vetting applicants for the Oklahoma appellate courts (Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and the Court of Civil Appeals), before being appointed.

To become a member of the JNC currently:

- 6 members are appointed by the governor. No more than 3 appointees can come from the same party, for balance. Non-Lawyer requirement. (6 year term, can not serve consecutive terms.)

- 6 members are appointed by the Oklahoma Bar association. 1 lawyer from each of the 1967 congressional districts. (6 year term, can not serve consecutive terms.)

- 1 member chosen by the Speaker of the House. Non-Lawyer requirement. (2 year term, can not serve consecutive terms.)

- 1 member chosen by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Non-Lawyer requirement. (2 year term, can not serve consecutive terms.)

- The 14 members then appoint the 15th member. No requirement to be lawyer or non-lawyer. (2 year term, can not serve consecutive terms.)

SQ845 is seeking to remove the guardrails that have been put in place, for this committee. If approved by voters, changes will include:

- Remove the restrictions that limit how many commissioners can be appointed by the governor, from either party.

- Lift restrictions that keep certain commissioners from being licensed attorneys or having immediate family members who are attorneys.

- Update district boundaries for JNC appointments, so that they align with current congressional districts, rather than the 1967 boundaries.

- Extend term limits for commissioners on the JNC to serve up to 12 years consecutively.

The law should be as unbias as possible. The current system is fair and balanced. Allowing partisan control of a judicial appointment system will damage public trust and open the doors for the very corruption, the JNC was put in place to stop.

Oklahoma, we have to vote NO on SQ845!

Vote No on November 3rd.

The Cybertrucks are parked ~350ft from Falcon 9 and Dragon. That black pad behind them is the soft landing area for the emergency egress slides, which deploy from the side of the launch tower.

The astronauts would jump down these slides and be able to immediately ingress Cybertruck and go. No waiting for an engine to start. Instant acceleration.

For her bestie, K stepped in a wedding coordinator. Style. Class. She never ceases to impress.
Ridiculous amount of effort. So many spinning plates.
She LOVED every minute of it.
Should she make the switch? I’d love to hear from some professionals…?

We added 500 signatures in one day, a 25% jump from 2,000 to 2,500. Tragically many of these are relatives of people killed by the Covid shots. Please keep sharing!

I am yet again puzzled by what #judges have to do in #Oklahoma to face consequences beyond opprobrium for "indefensible" conduct, "commissions of legal error and abuses of discretion."

You may recall the prior precedent from this Supreme Court ... (1/3)🧵
