America’s Founding Fathers, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, and Benjamin Franklin — together with several other influential men, structured our Constitutional Republic hoping it would stand the test of time.
The premise of the new government was that general rights came from God and that the states should have control over their populations with only specifically assigned powers (enumerated) left to the federal government.
The three co-equal branches were intended to prevent anyone one of them from gaining excessive power; “checks and balances”. These are applied primarily in constitutional governments
Unfortunately starting with Woodrow Wilson, a leader of the Progressive Movement, who was the 28th President of the United States (1913-1921), the U.S. Congress had slowly shifted power from their states to the ever-increasing federal government.
Former President Barack Obama after getting stopped by or because the expectation was the federal courts would block his progressive agenda, decided to try to govern using his pen, signing Executive Orders.
Obama’s actions included the un-Constitutional DACA order, which is a pseudo amnesty plan for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, and which the Supreme Court Of The United States has struggled to deal with.
Obama’s VP and now President Biden, has also been busy signing Executive Orders, and finally is running into resistance by the courts.
A federal judge for the district court in Washington, DC, issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday barring the Biden administration from firing both unvaccinated civilians and active-duty military members.
“None of the civilian employee plaintiffs will be subject to discipline while his or her request for a religious exception is pending,” District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled, according to a Minute Order obtained by Fox News.
Kollar-Kotelly also ruled “active duty military plaintiffs, whose religious exception requests have been denied, will not be disciplined or separated during the pendency of their appeals.”
The administration was sued by 22 plaintiffs in a civil action suit filed Sunday, according to Fox News. The suit alleges the mandate is unconstitutional and that the court must protect the status quo “of our federal government operations and to put an end to this involuntary play,” according to Fox News.
“The Biden administration has shown an unprecedented, cavalier attitude toward the rule of law and an utter ineptitude at basic constitutional contours,” Michael Yoder, who represents the plaintiffs, said in a statement to Fox News.
“This combination is dangerous to American liberty,” Yoder reportedly continued. “Thankfully, our Constitution protects and secures the right to remain free from religious persecution and coercion. With this order, we are one step closer to putting the Biden administration back in its place by limiting government to its enumerated powers. It’s time citizens and courts said no to tyranny.”

“The Constitution does not need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread.”
The Biden administration must file a supplemental notice by noon on Friday stating if they will agree to comply with the court’s ruling that no plaintiff will be fired or disciplined before the court rules in the case.
On Thursday Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) administration announced that had also filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for its vaccine mandates, suing both Biden and NASA.
With Biden’s reputation proceeding him, I am sure basement Joe is furious with the judge’s decision, and we can expect him to direct the DOJ to appeal it ASAP.
