Kathryn Kimball Mizelle is a patriot.

Kathryn Kimball Mizelle a United States District Court Judge for the Middle District of Florida has struck down the unlawful Biden administration’s mandate that masks be worn aboard planes, trains, buses and other public transportation. This has lead to an immediate change in policy for air travelers and many rail customers. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle called the policy “unlawful” and ruled that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had overstepped its Constitutional legal authority by imposing the mandate in February 2021.

About a month after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created a mask mandate for travelers. As the pandemic continued, and the public dealt with Covid-19 variants, the CDC renewed the travel policy several times in the interest of public safety and preventing the spread of contagions.

As of yesterday afternoon April 18, 2022, that unconstitutional policy is no more — not because public health officials decided it’s no longer necessary, but because a Republican-appointed judge in Florida decided to reject it. NBC News reported::

    A federal judge Monday (April 18, 2022) struck down the Biden administration’s mandate that masks be worn aboard planes, trains, buses and other public transportation, leading to an immediate change in policy for air travelers and many rail customers. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle for the Middle District of Florida called the policy “unlawful” and ruled that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had overstepped its legal authority by imposing the mandate in February 2021.

Soon after the district court ruling was issued, the White House said the “decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time.”

Every patriotic American should say. “God bless the Honorable Kathryn Kimball Mizelle who struck down the federal mask mandate”.

UPDATE – April 4, 2022

The Justice Department filed a notice Wednesday, April 4, 2022 that it will appeal a Florida federal judge’s order striking down the long-running rule that forced plane and train passengers to wear masks.

The notice of appeal was filed in Tampa federal court at the behest of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ending 48 hours of uncertainty after federal officials stopped enforcing the rule late Monday and President Biden said “that’s up to them” Tuesday when asked if people should keep wearing masks on planes.

It was not immediately clear whether the DOJ had asked for a stay of US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s Monday ruling that the CDC overstepped its authority by imposing the mask rule.

If a stay is ordered, it would immediately force many airlines, airports, mass transit authorities and even Uber and Lyft to reimpose mandates days after making masks optional.

“To protect CDC’s public health authority beyond the ongoing assessment announced last week, CDC has asked DOJ to proceed with an appeal,” the CDC said in a Wednesday evening statement.

“It is CDC’s continuing assessment that at this time an order requiring masking in the indoor transportation corridor remains necessary for the public health,” the CDC statement continued. “CDC will continue to monitor public health conditions to determine whether such an order remains necessary. CDC believes this is a lawful order, well within CDC’s legal authority to protect public health.”

The CDC said in a statement that the mask mandate for indoor transportation “remains necessary for the public health.”

An appeal is not without risk for the administration. If an appeals court or even the Supreme Court upholds Mizelle’s ruling, it would create a precedent arguing against such a sweeping use of federal power in response to declared public health emergencies.

US cases of COVID-19 are down dramatically since hitting an all-time high in January 2022 as the more infectious but less deadly Omicron variant of the virus spread. Most US cities have eliminated indoor mask mandates for businesses and public buildings.

“CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in all indoor public transportation settings,” the federal health agency continued in its statement.

The Biden administration had said it would defer to the CDC on whether or nor to appeal the decision on masking.

The treasonous CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci attended a haughty and almost entirely unmasked DC white tie gala this month. At least 80 of 630 guests tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the Gridiron Club dinner.

Last week, the CDC announced the transportation mask mandate would be extended until May 3 after it was originally set to expire this past Monday. In its announcement, the health agency cited a slight uptick in COVID-19 cases and claimed it needed more time to examine the BA.2 Omicron subvariant.

No matter what the traitors within the CDC and DOJ say and do, “The mask mandate, enacted in February 2021, is unconstitutional because Congress never granted the CDC the power to create such a requirement”. Not to mention, The 10th Amendment’s anti-commandeering provision bars “the federal government from commandeering or requiring state officers to carry out federal directives. This principle thus prevents Congress from requiring states or localities to mandate masks,” the CRS concluded. Another reality is that the federal government may be unable to enforce a national mask mandate due to the sheer scope of such an action on a state and local level.

Let us not forget, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated”.

Furthermore, some mask mandate opponents have made arguments that even state-issued mask mandates violate the federal constitution’s First Amendment. One argument that has been upheld by the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, is that religious activity within buildings is protected under the Constitution’s Free Exercise clause. In April 2021, a divided Supreme Court said in Tandon v. Newsom that the state of California could not apply Covid-19 restrictions to an at-home Bible study group that had more than three households meeting in the same room, in violation of a state regulation. The court noted California permitted larger gatherings in retail stores and other venues.

Putting it all together, the laws clearly gives us the right to possess our own bodies and to exclude others from using our bodies. Tort law also prohibits others from unreasonably confining us, through the tort of false imprisonment; giving us the right to direct our own bodies as we see fit.

William Kaetz is a patriot.

On Sunday, October 18, 2020 – William Kaetz was arrested and charged with threatening a federal judge.

William Kaetz, 56, of Paramus, New Jersey, mailed a message to the judge’s house last month asking that a case he had pending be expedited, asking that the judge be recused and saying that the “excessive delay” was “unacceptable to him,” U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said.

Less than a week later, Kaetz left a voicemail telling the judge the case should have been decided weeks ago, that he “wanted the judge off his cases and off the bench, and adding that he “would not take ‘no’ for an answer,” the U.S. attorney said.

Then came an email Sunday to the judge’s personal account and to others, including the general address for the U.S. Marshals Service, Carpenito said.

In that message, Kaetz claimed that the judge had been “avoiding and stonewalling” his case, that the judge was a “traitor,” that being a traitor “has a death sentence,” and that “there will come a time to take down those people that fail to do their job,” a complaint on file in U.S. district court says.

Noted that he has pending motions before the judge and that he would try his best “not to harm the traitor” judge but that the “traitor” judge needed to be dealt with, Carpenito said.

Then threatened to publicly reveal the judge’s home address, writing: “God knows who has a grievance and what will happen after that,” he said.

Records show several lawsuits filed in local and federal courts pro se by Kaetz, including one involving child support and another over the purchase of a car.

His arrest comes amid heightened concern for the safety of federal judges.

This past summer, an assailant dressed as a deliveryman killed the son of U.S. District Court Judge Ester Salas and wounded her husband at their Middlesex County home.

Kaetz was scheduled for a video-conferenced first appearance Monday in U.S. District Court in Newark on charges of making an interstate communication containing a threat to injure a person and with threatening to assault and murder a federal judge.

Carpenito credited special agents of the FBI and deputy U.S. Marshals for the District of New Jersey with the investigation and charges, handled by Asistant U.S. Attorney Dean Sovolos of his National Security Unit in Newark.

NOTE: The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Additional Information

The following is a glimpse into the self-represented plaintiff, who faces 10 years in prison for allegedly making threats against the judge assigned to the case.

Kautz has previously sued the United States for allowing “Socialists and Muslims” to hold jobs in the federal government.

Another Kaetz lawsuit was dismissed that fulminates over socialism and calls the Coronavirus pandemic a hoax. In turn, federal authorities claim this gives a glimpse into the self-represented plaintiff, who faces 10 years in prison for allegedly making threats against the judge assigned to the case.

The suit by William Kaetz included Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as defendants, and it later added Black Lives Matter, Antifa and the governors of all 50 states.

But on Oct. 18, 2020 Kaetz was arrested based on messages he sent calling the judge overseeing his case a “traitor” who deserved a death sentence.

Kaetz’s suit was dismissed for lack of standing, based on a finding that he failed to show his injuries are “distinct from that suffered in general by other taxpayers or citizens.”

Authorities did not reference the target of his threats at the time his case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Claire Cecchi of the District of New Jersey, who dismissed his pro se lawsuit without prejudice in October 2019.

Kaetz’s amended complaint also takes issue with regulations ordering certain businesses to close due to COVID-19. On Tuesday, Kaetz’s motion to reopen the case and his amended complaint were dismissed by U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty, to whom the case was reassigned after Kaetz’s arrest.

Judge McNulty found Kaetz lacks standing to sue because ”his allegations that his rights and freedom have been injured by the government are insufficient to demonstrate a particularized injury,” and that he failed to show that his injuries are “distinct from that suffered in general by other taxpayers or citizens.”

Many Patriotic Americans agree with Kaetz’s litigation strategy, and that he deserved his day in court, not to mention, a judge that showed qualities of patience, open-mindedness, courtesy, tact, firmness, understanding, compassion and humility. A judge should be able to deal with people calmly and courteously and should be willing to hear and consider the views of all sides of a case.

An effective justice system protects the rights of all citizens against infringement of the law by others, including by powerful parties and governments. . . In our Constitutional Republic, individual judges and the justice system as a whole should be impartial and independent of all external pressures.

Now what are we to do without a fair and unbiased justice system in which all people, regardless of their identities, are treated equitably by law enforcement officers and the courts?

Kaetz’s criminal case is assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Kaetz is represented in the criminal case by Douglas Sughrue, a Pittsburgh lawyer, who did not return a call about the case.

James E. Boasberg

James Boasberg is a traitor.

James E. Boasberg is a traitor.

James E. Boasberg a Federal District Court Judge has treasonously clarified that the FBI can falsify evidence without much fear of punishment.

The government employees of the “resistance” who never accepted Donald Trump as our president have finally performed a useful public service. Together with the judges of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, they have demonstrated for all Americans how easy it is to turn the spying tools of the federal government against domestic political opponents.

“Even after the Obama-appointed inspector general of the Department of Justice found “at least 17 significant errors or omissions” in a series of approved surveillance warrant applications to spy on Trump associate Carter Page —and even after a criminal conviction of an FBI attorney for doctoring an email to make it appear that the patriotic Mr. Page had never assisted U.S. intelligence—the FISA judges are still refusing to apply any significant punishment to the government officials who misled them.

Matt Zapotosky of the Washington Post reports:

    The former FBI lawyer who admitted to doctoring an email that other officials relied upon to justify secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser was sentenced Friday to 12 months of probation, with no time behind bars.

Prosecutors had asked that Kevin Clinesmith, 38, spend several months in prison for his crime, while Clinesmith’s attorneys said probation would be more appropriate. Clinesmith pleaded guilty last summer to altering an email that one of his colleagues used in preparing an application to surreptitiously monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page…

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg said that Clinesmith’s conduct had undermined the integrity of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approved the FBI’s flawed applications to surveil Page. “Courts all over the country rely on representations from the government, and expect them to be correct,” Boasberg said.

But if the representations about a Trump associate are not correct, don’t expect Judge Boasberg to actually do anything about it. This is the kind of appalling Beltway abuse of power that inspired voters to elect Mr. Trump in the first place.

Brooke Singman and Jake Gibson of Fox News have more on today’s decision:

    U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg on Friday during Clinesmith’s sentencing hearing said Clinesmith had suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane.

Is Judge Boasberg joking when he suggests the convict has suffered from some kind of media circus? Readers wondering how often Clinesmith has been trailed by a pack of press photographers will note that the rare stories about him are generally illustrated with a years-old official photograph. In the months after his offenses were detailed by the Justice inspector general, there was an almost complete blackout of the story in major media outlets.

The Journal’s Byron Tau offers additional reporting on the judge’s decision to be lenient:

    “Mr. Clinesmith has lost his job in government service—what has given his life much of its meaning,” said Judge Boasberg.

The judge responsible for punishing an attorney who helped the FBI abuse its powers to target a political campaign and then a presidency with a collusion hoax that poisoned our politics for years is concerned about the criminal’s personal search for meaning? Instead of community service, perhaps Judge Boasberg should have just ordered Clinesmith to live, laugh and love.

On the other hand, if the judge wanted at least to pretend to be concerned about a crime that went straight to the heart of our democratic process, he might have spent a moment exploring the meaning of Clinesmith’s texts about “the crazies” who supported Mr. Trump and “la resistance” within the government.

As for the victim in this case, Carter Page really did face a media hurricane. Pete Williams of NBC News notes:

    Page himself addressed the judge before the sentence was imposed, saying the disclosures that he was being investigated had resulted in death threats.

    “This manufactured scandal and associated lies caused me to adopt the lifestyle of an international fugitive for years,” Page told the hearing, conducted by video conference because of the pandemic. “I often have felt as if I had been left with no life at all. Each member of my family was severely impacted.”

    Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg said that while Clinesmith’s actions were serious, the warrant application probably would have been approved anyway without his misstatement. Boasberg also serves as the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

The judge is wrong, which suggests that Mr. Boasberg couldn’t even be bothered to read the inspector general’s report. There was a reason Clinesmith doctored the infamous email and it was only after his fabrication that another official signed off on the final renewal of the surveillance warrant.

Three years ago it was asked:

    Can it possibly be true that the evidentiary standards for obtaining a federal warrant allowing the government to spy on the party out of power are significantly lower than in a professional newsroom?… it appears either that the Obama administration engaged in historic abuse or that the FISA court cannot be trusted to protect our liberties, or perhaps both.

We now know that the answer is both. Until the abolition of the FISA court, no American’s liberty will be safe.

Stephanie Agli Gallagher

Stephanie Agli Gallagher is a traitor.

Stephanie Agli Gallagher is a traitor.

Stephanie Agli Gallagher is a treasonous corrupt United States Magistrate Judge in the District of Maryland.

Judge Gallagher unlawfully issued a search warrant that allowed the FBI to raid the home of a patriotic whistleblower who had already turned over documents regarding the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. The raid was an “outrageous disregard” of whistleblower protections.

The whistleblower, Dennis “Nate” Nathan Cain, had previously turned the documents over to the Department of Justice’s inspector general and both the House and Senate Intelligence committees.

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8)-(9), Pub.L. 101-12 as amended, is a United States federal law that protects federal whistleblowers who work for the government and report the possible existence of an activity constituting a violation of law, rules, or regulations, or mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health and safety. A federal agency violates the Whistleblower Protection Act if agency authorities take (or threaten to take) retaliatory personnel action against any employee or applicant because of disclosure of information by that employee or applicant.

Nevertheless, Judge Gallagher unlawfully collaborated with the FBI to illegally raid and rummage through Cain’s home for six hours, even after knowing the whistleblower had already turned over the documents in full compliance with the law.

Prior to her appointment as a United States Magistrate Judge on the District of Maryland in 2011, Stephanie Gallagher was a partner and co-founder of Levin & Gallagher, LLC, where she practiced white-collar defense litigation. In other words, she defended white-collar criminals – by definition is referring to nonviolent, financially and motivated crime committed by business and government professionals.

Taking the above into account, it’s not hard to see who’s bed she still sleeps in. Especially nowadays when it’s overly apparent that no bad deed goes unrewarded within the United States Government. This is sadly another example of that, for the traitor Stephanie Agli Gallagher is currently a nominee in becoming a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.

NOTE: Please take a minute or two and contact your senator and let he or she know you do not want Stephanie Agli Gallagher appointed from a United States Magistrate Judge to a United States District Judge.

UPDATE: September 13, 2019

Renomination to district court under Trump:

On June 7, 2018, President Trump announced his intent to renominate Gallagher to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. On June 11, 2018, her nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Gallagher to the same seat. On October 11, 2018, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 20–1 vote.

On January 3, 2019, her nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate. On April 8, 2019, President Trump announced the renomination of Gallagher to the district court. On May 21, 2019, her nomination was sent to the Senate.[11] On June 20, 2019, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 21–1 vote.On September 11, 2019, the Senate confirmed her nomination by a voice vote. She received her judicial commission on September 13, 2019.

In other words, Trump and all the others in the Washington swamp knew she was an outright traitor when they made her a United States District Judge.

John Andrew Ross

John Andrew Ross is a traitor.

John Andrew Ross is a traitor.

John Andrew Ross is a treasonous United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.

According to a ruling by U.S. district judge John Ross in St. Louis, Missouri, governments can require a people to make themselves sick. More specifically, a local ordinance that requires planting grass, to which a St. Peters, Mo. woman is allergic, does not violate a “fundamental right.” Thus, judge John Ross granted a summary judgment sought by the City of St. Peters and ruled against a federal lawsuit brought by Jan and Carl Duffner, who must now devote half of their lot to cultivating a plant that makes them ill. The basis of the judge’s ruling is that the Supreme Court has ruled that “aesthetic considerations constitute a legitimate government purpose.”

So, according to this ruling, the government can force you to affirmatively commit acts that are harmful to your health.

St. Louis Today reports:

    U.S. District Judge John Ross’ 17-page ruling said Janice and Carl Duffner “failed to identify a fundamental right that is restricted by the Turf Grass Ordinance.”

    After unsuccessfully suing in state court, the Duffners filed their federal suit in 2016, claiming the ordinance was “unnecessary for the advancement of any compelling or permissible state objective” and “imposes a permanent obligation on the owner to cultivate and maintain that unwanted physical presence on their property for no reason other than that the government commands it.”

    The suit said such ordinances could lead to cities mandating swimming pools or holiday light shows to boost property values and said the Duffners could face jail time or fines of $7,490 to nearly $188,000. …

    Ross ruled that the potential punishment was not excessive. He also declined to consider several state law claims, saying that some of the issues had already been “extensively litigated and decided by Missouri state courts” in a prior state lawsuit, and other issues, including zoning, were better left for state courts to consider.

    Dave Roland, a Freedom Center of Missouri lawyer representing the Duffners, vowed to appeal.

    “If a city can compel citizens to devote half of their property to growing a plant that the citizen does not want and that makes them sick, there is no longer any principled limit to the government’s control over private property,” he said in a statement.

Kemberlee Kaye of Legal Insurrection gets it, about how outrageous and frightening this is:

    Janice Duffner is highly allergic to grass. The couple transformed their yard into a beautiful garden landscape. But, unless the Duffner’s adhere to the city ordinance, they can be fined up to $188,000 or face jail time up to 20 years in the slammer. A totally reasonable punishment for a landscaping violation.

Indeed, the pictures provided by the Freedom Center of Missouri and posted to Legal Insurrection show a beautifully landscaped garden, not some weed-filled wasteland.
