THREAD:
/2 Today, with co-counsel Jonathan F. Mitchell, we secured a resounding win before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Braidwood Management Inc. v. Becerra. A unanimous panel of the Fifth Circuit held that a key provision of the Affordable Care Act violates Article II’s Appointments Clause by empowering the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to dictate the preventive care that all private insurers must cover.
/3 In other words—unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats don't get to make unilateral decisions about Americans’ healthcare coverage, which has led to tremendous increases in the cost of insurance for all Americans.
/4 The Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare,” requires all private health insurers to cover preventive care without any cost-sharing arrangements such as copays or deductibles. It also requires private insurers to cover any preventive care that receives an “A” or “B” rating from the United States Preventive Services Task Force.
/5 We argued that this arrangement violates Article II of the Constitution because the members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force wield significant powers yet are not appointed as “officers of the United States” as required by Article II.
/6 The Fifth Circuit unanimously agreed and held that the members of the Task Force are “principal officers” who must be appointed by the President with the Senate’s advice and consent and that the Affordable Care Act violates Article II’s Appointments Clause by empowering the Task Force to impose preventive-care coverage mandates on private insurers.
/7 Effectively, all preventive-care coverage mandates imposed by the Task Force since March 23, 2010, are unenforceable in the Fifth Circuit, and private insurers in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi need not comply with them.
/8 The Fifth Circuit also revived our Appointments Clause challenges to the preventive-care coverage mandates imposed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and remanded for the district court to further consider those claims.
/1🚨BREAKING — We just renewed our request for a civil rights investigation into Disney from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission following new videos emerging about potential discrimination.
/2 New videos published by @OKeefeMedia reportedly show senior Disney Executives candidly discussing the company’s illegal race-based hiring practices…
/3 One executive was recorded (describing hiring for a position in business affairs) purportedly saying, “Certainly, there have been times where, you know, there’s no way we’re hiring a white male ... There are times when [that’s] spoken.”
We obtained new docs from the Brennan-Clapper DHS intel group revealing the Biden admin developed a classified plan to expand monitoring of political dissent.
#DeepStateDiaries PART 5:
/2 Today, we are releasing the fifth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
We just filed a SCOTUS brief on behalf of @HouseAdmin Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman @RepLoudermilk to support Stephen Bannon’s emergency stay application.
The brief argues that the partisan January 6 committee was illegal and invalid from inception:
/2 @RepLoudermilk and his subcommittee are investigating the numerous security failures leading up to and on January 6, 2021, and reviewing the creation, operation, and results of the partisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
/3 It is settled law that Congress must follow its own rules.
Consequently, AFL and @RepLoudermilk argue that the Select Committee’s blatant noncompliance with House rules and resolutions means that it was unlawfully constituted and that both its subpoena to Mr. Bannon and the subsequent criminal referral that led to his convictions are invalid.
We just filed a bar complaint against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for violating the New York Rules of Professional Conduct by engaging in illegal DEI practices such as:
🚨Recruiting, hiring, and retaining staff based on race and sex.
THREAD:
/2 We just filed a complaint with the Attorney Grievance Committee (the Committee) of the First Judicial Department in New York requesting the Committee investigate Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his colleagues in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office (the Office) for violating the New York Rules of Professional Conduct by engaging in illegal discriminatory practices.
/3 Rule 8.4(g)(1) of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct prohibits lawyers and firms (including government firms) from engaging in “unlawful discrimination,” which is classified as “misconduct.”
Biden’s DHS intel group uses the phrase "quietly making democracy work" to describe their mission of combatting the "domestic terror threat" of Trump supporters in order to “rebuild faith in the federal government.”
#DeepStateDiaries PART 4:
/2 Today, we are releasing the fourth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
/3 Today’s release shows how the Brennan-Clapper intel committee admits the existence of a Deep State that works “quietly” to “make democracy work” in the face of “domestic terrorism threats,” or in their eyes – “supporters of the former president.”
Biden is giving registration forms and social security numbers to illegals.
America First Legal is sending an urgent ACTION PLAN to officials in all 50 states on how to stop illegals & non-citizens from voting.
States must ensure only citizens vote.
/2 We sent a letter to the chief election official of all 50 States, with a copy to each Governor and Attorney General explaining how they can use two key existing federal laws to obtain information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about the citizenship or immigration status of any individual for “any purpose authorized by law.”
/3 Given the unprecedented amount of illegal immigration that the United States has experienced since January 20, 2021 under Joe Biden, with millions upon millions of illegal aliens coming into the interior of the United States–and widespread concerns about the presence of aliens on voter rolls, the time is now for responsible election officials to do everything that they can under existing law to protect the integrity of upcoming elections.
