Our Amicus Brief for the SCOTUS OHSA Hearing
Our good friend Phil Kerpen suggested we put in an amicus brief to the court case heard today before the Supreme Court regarding the OSHA mandate. So we did!
We went back and forth but decided that Phil’s non-profit group would be the best name to throw this under and frankly Phil did most of the work here with Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University and Andrew Bostom of Brown University.
Many, many thanks for Jeffrey Childers, the extraordinary lawyer spearheading many of the lawsuits against mandates across the country.

You will learn more by reading this brief than the entire spectrum of judges on the Supreme Court knows in totality on this subject - which is the sad realization we came to today as the court heard oral arguments. More on that later.
The most fundamental argument is missing in this brief: Medical treatments for me are vetted by me, and I alone have final veto power over somebody else's idea of a good medical treatment when it comes to my health. Even if the SCOTUS justices had licenses to practice medicine, (which they don't and I do, thereby trumping their medical judgment), and even if Omicron were threatening (which it is most likely not), and even if the vaccines were effective and safe (and it is proven beyond doubt that they are neither), the principle of bodily autonomy is still paramount and is required by the US Constitution as well as by federal informed consent law.
Thank you for doing this. It's a very impressive brief.
