(Tea Party PAC) – Despite the Biden regime’s implementation of their radically destructive progressive agenda, it seems that all hope is not yet lost.
The judicial system has proven to be a light in the darkness in some instances and for that we are thankful. While there are many radical activist judges who will do anything for the left’s agenda serving across the US, there are many others who still believe in justice and are standing in the gap for all Americans, whether they realize it or not.
The latest victory for the American people comes from a federal appeals court which just recently denied the Biden regime’s attempt at reinstating an unconstitutional and illegal vaccine mandate for elite members of the US Navy.
While this particular case does not directly impact most Americans, the principle of it does and that’s the cause of freedom and personal liberty.
In January, a US district court granted a preliminary injunction which allowed Navy officers the ability to refuse the experimental COVID shots which the Biden regime had made mandatory. Naturally, the regime moved to appeal the decision.
On Monday, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the appeal with the court asserting that the Biden regime’s mandatory vaccine scheme would cause “irreparable harm” to service members’ First Amendment rights by forcing the jab on them without any reasonable medical or religious exemption options.
“The loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury,” the court wrote citing Opulent Life Church v. City of Holly Springs Miss.
“At base, Plaintiffs are staring down even more than ‘a choice between their job(s) and their jab(s),’” the court wrote. “By pitting their consciences against their livelihoods, the vaccine requirements would crush Plaintiffs’ free exercise of religion.” (Screenshot here).
In their lawsuit last November, the plaintiffs argued that their freedom of religion was being violated by the fact that the vaccines were developed using aborted fetal cell lines and also took issue with the “mRNA vaccines’ altering [of] the divine creation of their body by unnaturally inducing production of spike proteins.”
Despite having a “six-phase, 50-step process in place to adjudicate accommodation requests,” the appeals court judges wrote, “The Navy has not accommodated any religious request to abstain from any vaccination in seven years, and to date, it has denied all religiously based claims for exemption from COVID-19.” (Screenshot here).
“But evidence suggests that the Navy has effectively stacked the deck against even those exemptions supported by Plaintiffs’ immediate commanding officers and military chaplains,” the judges added.
First Liberty Institute counsel Mike Berry, who represented the Navy service members, applauded the appeals court’s decision and its protection of the US Constitution.
“Forcing a service member to choose between their faith and serving their country is abhorrent to the Constitution and America’s values,” Berry said. “Punishing SEALs for simply asking for a religious accommodation is purely vindictive and punitive. We’re pleased that the court has acted to protect our brave warriors before more damage is done to our national security.”
“Events around the world remind us daily that there are those who seek to harm America. Our military should be welcoming service members, not forcing them out because of their religious beliefs.”
Just last month, the Navy discharged 240 service members over their refusal to get the experimental and dangerous COVID-19 shots. That never should have happened.
Thank God there are still judges in the US willing to take a stand for the constitution and our freedoms and liberties.
