Gov Hochul Illegally Renews State of Emergency -- AGAIN

Governor Hochul does not have the lawful authority to singlehandedly renew a State of Emergency. The NYS legislature took away the power to grant emergency orders or executive orders from the Governor's seat in March 2021.

Currently in NYS, a Governor cannot legally pass an Executive order or an Emergency order without the Legislative branch's approval. Yet Governor Hochul is doing this monthly without question.

On another note, the emergency order is specific to hospital overflow. The healthcare system is in crisis because Governor Hochul fired all healthcare workers who refused to comply with her illegal vax mandate.

She created the crisis by short staffing our hospital systems and healthcare networks, and is using it to continuously renew illegal regulations until they are permanently adopted.

Furthermore, the Covid numbers for hospitalization and deaths are low. This emergency order is not for health reasons.

The primary reason for this renewed emergency declaration is to enable Governor Hochul to maintain control -- but she is acting illegally and usurping power that is not lawfully delegated to her.

The emergency order continues to be illegally renewed, and Governor Hochul doubles down by using it to impose and renew the illegal regulations for masking, testing/vax, and isolation and quarantine -- which are being pushed through her AGENCIES' proposed and permanent REGULATIONS.

All of these regulations are still being renewed and pushed through the DOH and can be activated by Governor Hochul WHENEVER she wants -- simply because she has granted herself emergency powers.

We are in an imaginary state of emergency perpetuated by Governor Hochul.

All of this is illegal.

All of this is unconstitutional.

Court Decisions Against Administrative Rule Over-Reach

Some of the cases won:

Attorney James G. Mermigis - Jan 15, 2020 NYS Supreme Court, Onondaga County: Brickhouse Billiards et. al. VS. Gov Cuomo, NYS AG (End Lockdowns for Small Businesses)
Attorney Chad J. LaVeglia - Jan 24, 2022 NYS Supreme Court, Nassau County: Michael Demetriou, et al. VS. NYS DOH, Gov Hochul (Mask Mandate)
Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox - July 8, 2022 NYS Supreme Court, Cattaraugus County: George Borello, et al. VS. NYS DOH, Gov Hochul (Isolation and Quarantine)
Attorney Jimmy Wagner - July 11, 2022 NYS Supreme Court, New York County: Elizabeth Loiacono VS. NYCED, UFT (NYC Teacher's Religious Exemption and Backpay)

June 30, 2022 Supreme Court of the United States: West Virginia VS. EPA

Many other cases are in progress, including:

Attorney Sujata Gibson - Michael Kane VS. de Blasio
Attorney James G. Mermigis, and Jamie Scherr - Healthcare Employees Class Action Suit

The cases referenced above and MANY more state-wide, federally and nationally, are winning because every one of these actions is based on adhering to REGULATIONS made up by an AGENCY -- not based on a Law passed by your elected officials in the Legislative branch.

In NYS that would be the Dept. of Health's abusive overreach, and Governor Hochul circumventing our Legislative branch by enforcing NYCRR 10-2.60-2.62.

The enormous win in January by Chad LaVeglia is NOW backed by the SCOTUS decision in the Virginia v. EPA case.

Everything has been illegal.

Every single thing.

What made it possible was our compliance.

These NYS Judges, on every level would, commit political and career suicide if they rule against these cases. They in Essence would be violating their oath to uphold the constitution.

Every one of these cases will Win. They may be appealed by the STATE, but that is because appealing these cases is a last ditch effort by the State to delay and NOT HAVE precedent. Appeals are the only tactic left in Governor Hochul's arsenal.

Her only move left is Appeal and Delay.

The public needs to understand that the Appeals mean nothing because the regulations are illegal.

Live your life freely. Follow nothing unless it is law.

That means sending your kid to school or camp with out a mask or vax card.

Or you yourself not giving a vax card or wearing a mask.

They can't arrest You, fine you or even fire you anymore without facing the severe and real risk of being sued back, because there is legal precedent now.

Even private companies can be sued for violation of constitutional rights. They get away with it because People cannot (because they need a job), or will not stand up for themselves and NOT COMPLY -- It's all illegal.

Educating ourselves on the law and our rights, and then Uniting as a force of people who will vote together and stand together, will be the way out.

NY Post Article: A Belated Victory Against COVIDidiocy

In a belated victory against COVID insanity, a state Supreme Court judge has declared null and void New York’s Rule 2.13, endowing the state health commissioner with unbounded power to issue isolation and quarantine orders.

Enacted in February 2022 and renewed since, the regulations have been published in the state register for possible permanent adoption. Yet it would be madness to codify this power months after the real threat of COVID receded into nothing.

Lunatic, too, given New York’s atrocious record on protecting the most vulnerable (i.e. the elderly) from the virus.

Kudos to state Sen. George Borrello (R.-Chautauqua) and his fellow complainants on their successful lawsuit over the rule — and to Judge Ronald Ploetz for his ruling.

The rule, which Ploetz noted paid only “lip service” to the Constitution, was itself the fruit of a poison tree: the overbroad powers the Legislature granted then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo at the pandemic’s start.

Cuomo used those powers not only to shutter the state’s economy, but to serve special interests like the hospital lobby, including via the deadly mandate for care homes to admit COVID-positive patients. The state is still reeling from his dictatorial pseudoscience today.

But COVID rules were never about science. On the numbers, Cuomo’s draconian policies had no significant effect on our outcomes when compared to states with far more liberal rules. And Cuomo himself seemed to break them whenever the mood was on him.

Those rules were about power, exercised by fanatics and hypocrites. By blocking one of them, Judge Ploetz has done New York a great service.
