.@Heritage and @freedomcaucus hosted a worthwhile discussion on the topic of Covid-19 accountability last week. Here are some highlights from the portion that addressed the issue of medical censorship. 🧵
"[Censorship resulted in] this illusion of a consensus that never existed on so many topics. We robbed the American people of a true debate, a true discussion… The truth comes from people honestly engaging with the data." @DrJBhattacharya
"There is nothing more harmful, more chilling than these laws like [#AB2098] because patients are going to suffer from this. Patients already have suffered from self-cancellation by doctors who are afraid to say the truth to their patients… " -Dr. Scott Atlas
"AB2098 effectively puts the CDC in the room with you as a patient and a doctor, so that the doctor is now thinking about what the CDC will say… The main purpose of it is to chill public discussion by dissenting doctors on matters of public health importance." @DrJBhattacharya
"The last thing I would want is to censor those who have a different view than me because I want to be able to rebut what they're saying. So I want them to be heard and then I want because it gives me an opportunity to actually counter the arguments." @MartinKulldorff
Scott Atlas and @RepRosendale also touched on the important issue of the abuse of emergency powers under the guise of protecting public health.

Yesterday, a trans activist attacked a man protesting against boys in girls’ sports at the California track and field championships. He was in his car with his wife and 4-year-old child at the time. He fought the attacker off with pepper spray before police intervened.
1/3
The attacker had been interviewed by local media earlier. The person appears to be a female who identifies as male. She rambled about oppression, Palestine, etc. “If you’re a Nazi, or complicit, I mean, f*ck off,” she said.
2/3
The victim is a conservative activist, and the attacker identifies him by name as she approaches. It’s a sad commentary on the state of free speech culture that comments on this post indicate people believe his political views justify the attack.

Matt Taibbi is suing Congresswomen Kamlager-Dove for libel.

Members of Congress are shielded from liability for defamation for statements made during legislative activities, but Kamlager-Dove apparently didn’t realize this doesn’t extend to her social media communications, unless they were within the scope of her official duties as a member of Congress.Image
FYI, I was going to follow up my initial post with more detail about the law, but I realized what I wrote might be misleading without a qualification, so I edited the post.
I initially thought this looked like a strong case for Taibbi, but there’s a 6th Circuit case that held tweets from congresspeople falsely accusing the Covington Catholic student of hateful conduct were protected. I don’t find the reasoning persuasive, but another court might.

🧵 UPDATE on the lawsuit against the executive affecting trans people in the military.

Judge Reyes called a hearing this afternoon, because the plaintiffs filed their amended complaint today, five days after it was due. The attorneys were adding new plaintiffs and said they had issues communicating with them.

Judge Reyes decided the solution is to give plaintiffs a do-over so that they file a new motion for a preliminary injunction next week. (She used the analogy of shaking an Etch-a-Sketch to start over.) 1/x
After addressing the issues around the briefing schedule, Judge Reyes questioned attorneys for both sides on what arguments they intended to make around the definition of “sex.”

At the hearing last Wednesday, Reyes raised this topic and lectured the defense attorneys on her belief that there are more than two sexes. She then ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefing on the topic. Plaintiffs filed their brief last Friday, and defendants (Trump et al) were supposed to file their response this coming Friday.

It seems unusual to me that the judge expected defendants to respond orally in court to these arguments, when they haven’t had a chance to draft their brief, especially given the fact that she was announcing they would start anew with with a new preliminary injunction motion. 2/x
Judge Reyes noted that the government definition revolved around the type of reproductive cells a person makes, which she believed to be incorrect: “My understanding is that according to scientists, determining what sex someone is, is not dependent on their reproductive cell.” She said that she believed that reproductive cells were just one factor, and that anatomy and chromosomes are also taken into account when determining a person’s sex.

She said that she would not make any determinations on the topic of the definition of sex without hearing expert testimony. 3/x

Kamala Harris was admitted to law school under a program for students “who have experienced major life hurdles, such as educational disadvantage, economic hardship, or disability.”

Kamala Harris’s mother came from the highest caste in India, but by moving to the U.S. and Canada, obtaining a prestigious degree, marrying a future Stanford professor, having a successful career as a cancer researcher, and sending her daughter to private schools, her daughter became unusually disadvantaged?

Strange how that works.Image
Image
In 1992, three years after Kamala graduated from Hastings Law School (a public university), there was a controversy after the dean of the law school realized the extent of student group involvement in admissions to the program for disadvantaged students (called LEOP).

Students who claimed to be eligible for the LEOP because of some special hardship they suffered would have their claims of being disadvantaged verified via a phone call by members of the student organization associated with the applicant’s race. The phone interviews were used by some students to screen out conservative candidates—to avoid future “Clarence Thomases,” as one student explained.

This would have been the process in place when Kamala Harris applied to law school in 1986. According to her resume, she also served as President of the “Black Law Student’s [sic] Association,” so she likely participated in the process of selecting admittees to the LEOP program while she was a law student as well.

While the program was advertised as a class-based affirmative action program—which Kamala Harris wouldn’t have qualified for—in practice it was based on race and politics, during her time.Image

In 2004, Kamala's mother recounted to an LA Times reporter how she was taken aback when an educator didn't realize Kamala came from a privileged background.

People have expressed an interest in hearing more dirt on Kamala Harris’s past, so I am collecting my posts that contain information that has been underreported or not reported elsewhere into one thread. 🧵
In this thread, you will find detailed information about Kamala Harris’s misuse of Biden’s FEC candidate ID number in order to take possession of his campaign funds. A complaint has been filed with the FEC but will not be resolved before the election.
Here is a summary from a longtime independent California politician Kamala Harris’s violation of campaign finance laws when she was running for District Attorney. (Harmeet Dhillon’s interview with Tucker Carlson has more information on that issue.)
