| Here’s a much-needed constitutional victory, with more work to be done! On January 25, U.S. Judge William Shubb of Sacramento issued a strongly-worded preliminary injunction against AB 2098, a Democrat law permitting the state’s medical board to yank the licenses of physicians who “disseminate” information regarding COVID-19 that departs from the “contemporary scientific consensus.” So, for the time being, California doctors and surgeons who study science won’t be punished for telling the truth. A needed win! Judge Shubb is an 84-year-old Republican who seems to still remember and respect the First Amendment. He was nominated in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush, and before that clerked for a Republican federal judge of President Dwight Eisenhower. There are still enough constitutional judges on the federal courts — either at the district level or in the appellate courts and, depending on the issue, at the U.S. Supreme Court. Therefore, now is the time to file lawsuits against other unconstitutional laws passed by the Democrat-controlled California Legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. TAKE ACTION: 1. Learn more about why bad Democrat laws passed and signed last year can and should be overturned. 2. Think about people you know who will be victimized by these bad laws (see the slides below) and help them contact attorneys who can help (see last slide). |
Free speech, like other constitutional rights, only makes sense if one is free to use it unwisely. Otherwise, there’s no freedom to speak; there’s only a freedom to speak what some arbiter declares to be the truth.
Stephen Carter, former clerk for Democrat U.S. Supreme Court Judge Thurgood Marshall
