Deja Vu Anyone??? https://davidraymondamos3. Monday, 17 April 2023 More than money at stake as Fox News goes to trial over presidential election coverage https://www.winston.com/en/ Dan Webb Discusses Defamation Lawsuit Against Fox News in The New York Times Dec 7, 2022 Winston & Strawn Co-Executive Chairman Dan Webb discussed his representation of Fox News in connection with Dominion Voting System’s ongoing defamation lawsuit against the network in The New York Times. Since the lawsuit was filed in March 2021, Fox News has stated that they are protected under the First Amendment and cannot be held liable for reporting news of Donald Trump’s voter fraud allegations. “This does not appear to be a case that’s going to settle — but anything can happen,” said Dan. “There are some very fundamental First Amendment issues here, and those haven’t changed.” He noted that while he intended to show that the fraud allegations were not entirely false, he would not pretend that the allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election were true. “The president’s allegations were not correct,” he said, adding that he planned “to show the jury that those security concerns were there and were real and added plausibility to the president’s allegations.” Dan Webb Partner Chicago +1 312-558-5856 dwebb@winston.com |

Texas AG Ken Paxton impeached: What to know about the controversy and what comes next
Paxton, dogged by scandal, is accused of bribery and more; he denies wrongdoing.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was impeached on May 27, becoming the state's first statewide official to be impeached since 1917.
The proceedings were sparked by claims from former employees in Paxton's office that he was misusing his power to aid a friend and donor. The impeachment also underlines the conflict between Paxton and a number of other Republicans, many of whom voted in the state House for his impeachment.
In a defiant statement last month, Paxton called the proceedings "unjust" and a partisan "sham," labeling the state House Speaker Dade Phelan a traitor.
Phelan, for his part, has defended the process. "What happened this week is nothing I take pride in. It is not anything I was proud of. But it was necessary," he said before the impeachment vote.
Who is Ken Paxton?
Paxton was suspended while serving his third term as Texas attorney general, the state's top law enforcement officer, after holding office in the Texas House and Senate for approximately 10 and two years, respectively. Before that, he worked as a corporate lawyer and in private practice.
During his career as attorney general, Paxton has brought several significant lawsuits against both the Obama and Biden administrations, including an effort to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which shields some immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. as kids.
As an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, Paxton led an unsuccessful lawsuit contesting the 2020 presidential election results in four states.
While Paxton easily won two of his three attorney general elections, his time in office has also been marred by scandal.
Impeachment proceedings against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are underway in the Texas House of Representatives, May 27, 2023, in Austin, Texas.

When did the impeachment begin and what is Paxton accused of?
The case for Paxton's impeachment traces back to 2020, when top aides accused him of abuse of office to benefit donor Nate Paul, himself and Paxton's alleged mistress. That led to an ongoing FBI probe and multimillion-dollar whistleblower lawsuit, with some of those Paxton staffers claiming they were fired for speaking out.
An attorney for Paul declined to comment to ABC News. Paul has previously denied any wrongdoing.
Earlier this year, Paxton agreed to a $3.3 million settlement with the former staffers and to apologize for calling them "rogue," but he said he was settling in order to move past the allegations and that he'd done nothing wrong. He also sought to have the state -- taxpayers -- cover the cost. After that, state House lawmakers began looking into him, they have said.
On May 24, the state House's investigative committee brought 20 articles of impeachment against Paxton alleging misconduct, including bribery, obstruction of justice and misappropriation of public resources.
By that Saturday, he was impeached and temporarily suspended from office, as required under state law, pending his trial in the state Senate.
He faces other legal troubles, too.
In 2015, he was charged with securities fraud related to investments in a tech company and has pleaded not guilty, though he has yet to stand trial. That case is referenced in the impeachment charges against Paxton.
Separately, last year, Paxton was also sued by the state bar over alleged professional misconduct for backing the lawsuit against the 2020 election results. "Texas Bar: I'll see you and the leftists that control you in court," he said then.
The state House investigating committee, which recommended the impeachment, held a public forum in May detailing the whistleblower claims. The evidence presented to legislators included three hours of testimony from investigators.
Afterward, the House voted to impeach Paxton in a bipartisan 121-23 majority vote.
What's next?
Paxton awaits trial in the state Senate, which must start by Aug. 28. The chamber will review a set of trial rules on Tuesday, to be proposed by a seven-member committee chosen by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick who, like Paxton, has historically aligned himself with Trump.
One rule the committee will determine is whether the attorney general will be allowed to present a defense, which is an allowance that was not made for the state House proceedings and that Paxton criticized.
"My office made every effort to present evidence, testimony, and irrefutable facts that would have disproven the countless false statements and outright lies," Paxton wrote on Twitter in May.
Where do legislators stand?
While a majority overwhelmingly supported Paxton's impeachment in the state House, the Republican-controlled upper chamber requires two-thirds support to convict him, which would permanently remove and bar him from holding future Texas office.
State senators have largely remained mum on the pending trial, likely because of a commitment to protect the integrity of the proceedings, where they will essentially function as jurors, as stressed by the lieutenant governor, who presides over the Senate. In a streamed event with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Patrick spoke directly to the press, saying he couldn't speak further on the case and asking for privacy as the trial proceeds.
"This is very serious. These are very serious people, and the Senate is going to do our job in a professional way," he said.
The potential jurors include one unusual member, should she not recuse: the attorney general's wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton. The Paxtons have long supported one another's political endeavors: She could be found with a guitar in hand singing at his events and he gave a $2 million loan toward her state Senate campaign in 2018. She has not yet commented on the impeachment and has not been accused of doing anything wrong.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican, has called the impeachment a "travesty" and defended the attorney general on Twitter. "Virtually all of the information in the articles was public BEFORE Election Day, and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin," Cruz wrote.
Most state House Republicans voted for the impeachment. One of them, Rep. Stan Kitzman, issued a statement calling the charges "a slap in the face to every Texan who believes in the rule of law and the integrity of our public offices."
In the legislative session that recently ended, the state House was able to pass multiple conservative priorities it set forth, like banning hormonal treatments for children under the age of 18. But it also failed to agree on other proposals, like more stringent immigration legislation -- an example of the disagreements between the party's more centrist and more hard-line wings.
The state GOP chair, Matt Rinaldi, alluded to that tension in a statement about Paxton: "The impeachment proceedings against the Attorney General are but the latest front in the Texas House's war against Republicans to stop the conservative direction of our state."
What could happen to Paxton?
Until Paxton's trial, while he remains suspended, John Scott has been appointed interim attorney general by Gov. Greg Abbott.
Should the state Senate not reach a two-thirds majority to remove Paxton, he will continue to serve in his role as before, albeit alongside legislators, many from his own party, who voted to impeach him.

***Please be advised that this email address is no longer in use***
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. Feedback from the people
we represent is always extremely valuable for members of parliament,
and especially valuable to me as Prime Minister.
However as you can imagine I receive a very large, sometimes
dauntingly large, amount of correspondence and it is important that we
do everything we can to respond to it as quickly and effectively as
possible.
So to help us best direct your enquiry and respond to it, please
complete this contact form. If you have written a detailed message in
your email, just cut and paste it into the contact form and complete
the details requested.
If you would like to invite me or Lucy to an event, please forward the
invitation to pminvites@pmc.gov.au.
If you are a Wentworth constituent, please make us aware of this and
my electorate office team in Edgecliff will be in touch.
Regards,
Malcolm Turnbull
Prime Minister

>>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former

>>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former

>>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>>
>>> I. Introduction
>>>
>>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>
>>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>
>>>
>>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>
>>>
>>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>> cross-appeal.
>>>
>>>
>>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>>
>>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>
>>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>>> c. F-7:
>>>
>>>
>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>>> Appeal.
>>> […]
>>>
>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>>> […]
>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>>
>>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
>>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>>> section.
>>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>>> that:
>>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>>> matière civile et pénale.
>>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>>> appeal book.
>>>
>>>
>>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>>
>>>
>>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>>
>>>
>>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>>> such judge had a conflict.
>>>
>>>
>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>>> was a member of such firm.
>>>
>>>
>>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>>
>>>
>>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>> apprehension of bias:
>>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>
>>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>>> (4th) 193).
>>>
>>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>
>>>
>>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>
>>>
>>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>
>>>
>>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>
>>>
>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because

>>>
>>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4

Republicans sue to stop Wisconsin vote certification
By: The Associated Press November 25, 2020
MADISON, Wis. — Republicans filed a lawsuit Tuesday asking the
Wisconsin Supreme Court to block certification of the presidential
election results even as a recount over President-elect Joe Biden’s
win over President Donald Trump is ongoing.
The lawsuit echoes many of the same arguments Trump is making in
trying, unsuccessfully, to have tens of thousands of ballots
discounted during the recount. It also seeks to give the power to name
presidential electors to the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Wisconsin state law allows the political parties to pick electors,
which was done in October. Once the election results are certified,
which is scheduled to be done Dec. 1, those pre-determined electors
will cast their ballots for the winner on Dec. 14.
“The litigation filed this afternoon seeks to disenfranchise every
Wisconsinite who voted in this year’s presidential election,” said
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul. “The Wisconsin Department of
Justice will ensure that Wisconsin’s presidential electors are
selected based on the will of the more than 3 million Wisconsin voters
who cast a ballot.”
The lawsuit also rehashes a claim that a federal court rejected in
September that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried to “illegally
circumvent Wisconsin absentee voting laws” through grants awarded by a
nonprofit center he funds.
At least 10 cases have been filed across the country seeking to halt
certification in parts or all of key battleground states, including
lawsuits brought by the Trump campaign in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
So far none have been successful.
The Wisconsin lawsuit was filed by attorney Erick Kaardal, a former
Minnesota Republican Party official who also represented rapper Kanye
West in his unsuccessful lawsuit attempting to get on the ballot in
Wisconsin. Kaardal represents a conservative group called the
Wisconsin Voters Alliance and a host of Republican voters.
Kaardal also filed an unsuccessful federal lawsuit in Wisconsin that
attempted to block $6.3 million from being awarded to five heavily
Democratic cities from the nonprofit Center for Technology and Civic
Life, which is primarily funded by Zuckerberg and his wife. A judge
tossed the lawsuit that argued the money amounted to bribery to
bolster Democratic turnout in Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee
and Racine.
Many of the same arguments alleging the money was illegally awarded
and therefore the election results should be nullified are being made
in the new lawsuit in state court.
Other claims mirror those by Trump’s campaign. Those claims allege
absentee ballots should not have been counted where election officials
filled in missing information on the certification envelope that
contains the ballot and that voters who identified as “indefinitely
confined” were lying to avoid the state’s photo ID law.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission advises clerks that they can fill
in missing information on the ballot envelopes, such as the address of
a witness. That’s been the practice for years, and it’s never been
challenged.
Biden won Wisconsin by 20,608 votes, but the lawsuit claims that more
than 156,000 ballots should be tossed out.

Federal Court Says New York Governor Cuomo is Wrong to Limit Worship Services
Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio
(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is wrong to limit worship services yet
condone mass protests, according to a federal judge. After telling
Thomas More Society attorneys in a June 18, 2020 hearing that he was
“troubled by” the government’s responses, Senior U.S. District Judge
Gary L. Sharpe issued a preliminary injunction on June 26, 2020,
prohibiting Governor Cuomo, his Attorney General Letitia James, and
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio from ordering or enforcing COVID-19
prompted restrictions on outdoor religious worship gatherings.
Christopher Ferrara
“This decision is an important step toward inhibiting the suddenly
emerging trend of exercising absolute monarchy on pretext of public
health. What this kind of regime really meant in practice is freedom
for me, but not for thee,” said Thomas More Society Special Counsel
Christopher Ferrara.
Thomas More Society Special Counsel Christopher Ferrara remarked, “We
are pleased that Judge Sharpe was able to see through the sham of
Governor Cuomo’s ‘Social Distancing Protocol’ which went right out the
window as soon as he and Mayor de Blasio saw a mass protest movement
they favored taking to the streets by the thousands. Suddenly, the
limit on ‘mass gatherings’ was no longer necessary to ‘save lives.’
Yet they were continuing to ban high school graduations and other
outdoor gatherings exceeding a mere 25 people. This decision is an
important step toward inhibiting the suddenly emerging trend of
exercising absolute monarchy on pretext of public health. What this
kind of regime really meant in practice is freedom for me, but not for
thee.”
Sharpe’s order noted that, “it is not the judiciary’s role to second
guess the likes of Governor Cuomo or Mayor de Blasio when it comes to
decisions they make in such troubling times, that is, until those
decisions result in the curtailment of fundamental rights without
compelling justification.”
In awarding the injunction, the court noted that “nonessential
businesses” that enjoy a 50% capacity limitation are not justifiably
different than houses of worship.
Sharpe remarked that offices, retails stores, salons, and restaurants
– all now permitted to open at 50% capacity indoors – all involve the
congregation of people for a length of time. He stated, “These secular
businesses/activities threaten defendants’ interest in slowing the
spread of COVID-19 to a similar or greater degree than those of
plaintiffs’, and demonstrate that the 25% indoor capacity limitation
on houses of worship is underinclusive and triggers strict scrutiny
review.”
The judge pointed out, “Another case of individualized exemption seems
even more obvious.” Governor Cuomo has now specifically authorized
outdoor, in-person graduation ceremonies of no more than 150 people.
This is an express exemption from the ten- or twenty-five-person
outdoor limits that apply to other situations. Yet, “There is nothing
materially different about a graduation ceremony and a religious
gathering such that defendants’ justifications for a difference in
treatment can be found compelling.”
Sharpe took New York City to task, stating that de Blasio’s
simultaneous pro-protest/anti-religious gathering messages “clearly
undermine the legitimacy” of his argument that selective enforcement
of the challenged laws with respect to mass race protests is a matter
of public safety.
“Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio could have just as easily
discouraged protests, short of condemning their message, in the name
of public health and exercised discretion to suspend enforcement for
public safety reasons instead of encouraging what they knew was a
flagrant disregard of the outdoor limits and social distancing rules,”
wrote Sharpe. “They could have also been silent. But by acting as they
did, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio sent a clear message that mass
protests are deserving of preferential treatment.”
As a result of the federal order, Governor Cuomo, Attorney General
James, and Mayor de Blasio are “enjoined and restrained from enforcing
any indoor gathering limitations” against the involved houses of
worship “greater than imposed for Phase 2 industries,” provided that
participants follow the prescribed social distancing. They are also
forbidden from “enforcing any limitation for outdoor gatherings
provided that participants in such gatherings follow social distancing
requirements as set forth in the applicable executive orders and
guidance.”
Cuomo, James, and de Blasio were sued by two Catholic priests from
upstate New York and a trio of Orthodox Jewish congregants from
Brooklyn for violations of their civil rights by prejudicial orders
and selective enforcement. The federal lawsuit, filed June 10, 2020,
in United States District Court for the Northern District of New York,
charged the governor, attorney general, and mayor with violating the
plaintiffs’ rights to free exercise of religion, freedom of speech,
assembly and expressive association, and due process, under the First
and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Governor Cuomo was
also accused of violating New York state law and the New York State
Constitution.
Ferrara explained the lawsuit: “In an unprecedented abuse of power,
Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio have exploited the COVID-19
pandemic to create, over the past three months, a veritable
dictatorship by means of a complex web of executive orders. The orders
have imposed and selectively enforced ‘social distancing’ under a
‘lockdown’ of virtually every aspect of life for New York state
residents on the pretext of ‘public health,’ but with numerous
exceptions. The permissible activities, not based on the science of
viral contagion, but rather determined according to personal value
judgments, have included mass demonstrations of thousands of people –
gatherings of which the governor and mayor have approved and the mayor
participated in. Cuomo and de Blasio, along with James, have enforced
the gubernatorial ‘lockdown’ by threat of criminal prosecution and
actual prosecution, including $1,000 fines for the recently created
offense of violating Cuomo’s ‘Social Distancing Protocol’.”
Ferrara added, “These mass protest gatherings, taking place during the
COVID-19 stay-at-home lockdown orders, have been not only allowed but
praised by both the governor of New York and mayor of New York City,
even though massive property damage and death have resulted. This,
when the government’s primary purpose is to protect the people it
governs.”

York Judge Gary L. Sharpe’s Memorandum-Decision and Order, issued June
26, 2020, in response to the Thomas More Society’s complaint, filed on

Minnesota churches join legal challenges to virus rules
By: The Associated Press August 14, 2020
Churches in Minnesota and California, backed by a conservative legal
group, filed lawsuits this week against the governors of their states
challenging restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus outbreak that
they contend are violations of religious liberty.
They’re the latest in a long series of legal challenges, many of them
in California, pitting clerics and houses of worship who believe they
should be exempt from certain restrictions on public gatherings
against governors who insist the measures are needed to rein in the
pandemic. Most of the suits have been rebuffed; some have succeeded.
In Minnesota, a lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court
challenging Gov. Tim Walz’s executive orders requiring 6-foot social
distancing and the wearing of face masks at worship services.
“Gov. Walz, a former teacher, gets an F in religious liberties,” said
Erick Kaardal, special counsel for the Thomas More Society. “Other
states, including Texas, Illinois and Ohio, have excluded churches
from COVID-19 mask mandates.”
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison reiterated his defense of
Walz’s order, saying it was legally and constitutionally sound.
Teddy Tschann, spokesperson for Walz, said the governor was within his
authority taking the action and added that all Walz’s actions have
been grounded in the desire to keep Minnesotans safe.
Walz had been embroiled in a battle with Roman Catholic and Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod congregations across Minnesota over restrictions
he placed on gatherings of more than 10 people. He relented and said
they could hold services at 25% of capacity if certain conditions were
met after they made it clear they planned to defy the order.
Earlier this month a pastor in Palmetto, Florida, filed a suit
challenging Manatee County’s mask mandate. The Rev. Joel Tillis of
Suncoast Baptist Church said the order shouldn’t extend to houses of
worship because it hinders prayer.
The Thomas More Society, which specializes in litigation on religious
issues, filed a lawsuit Wednesday in California Superior Court against
Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials. It seeks to prevent the
enforcement of “unconstitutional and onerous coronavirus pandemic
regulations” against Grace Community Church in the Los Angeles
neighborhood of Sun Valley.
The pastor, John MacArthur, has been holding services in recent weeks
attended by throngs of worshippers in de...
