AND THEN A HERO COMES ALONG...
DOM's blog has an order by Judge Scola, the meat of which says this:
IT IS THE COURT'S BELIEF THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF UNVACCINATED ADULTS ARE UNINFORMED AND IRRATIONAL OR LESS CHARITABLY- SELFISH AND UNPATRIOTIC...
JUST AS THE COURT AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PROTECT THOSE WHO ENTER THE COURTHOUSE, ALL OF US HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY.
KABOOM!
He said what needed to be said.
Here is the order, courtesy of DOM

Memo to Judge Scola: The Florida Supreme Court does NOT believe the Court and members of the legal profession have an obligation to protect all those who enter the courthouse, or it would mandate masks and give judges the power to require everyone who enters a courtroom to wear a mask. The Florida Supreme Court does believe that it has an obligation to protect the general public from seeing a male attorney in court in August without a full coat and tie, but otherwise, it does not recognize any other obligation to the general public.
Thank you for speaking up where others remain deathly silent (pun intended).

Slippery slope Rumpy. So all of the jurors must be vaxed to protect everyone that is a part of the courtroom process. Is Judge Moreno making the same demands of the witnesses that appear on behalf of the Plaintiff and the Defendant. Are all of the others players required to be vaxed. Attorneys. Bailiff. Court Reporter. Etc. Sorry. Can’t agree with this. I do believe that everyone should get vaxed but that doesn’t mean I agree with Moreno’s language.
Btw. Did you read the entire Order. While Moreno may have felt strongly enough to say what he wrote, he backed off and continued the case because he didn’t want to set up an appellate issue.
Correction. Scola. Not Moreno. Sorry for the error.
It's some ego to think that you can brand millions of people that you don't know as unpatriotic. Black robe fever.
Good for him. Wish they had balls in state court.
Expected by now to hear something from Horace on his adopted country’s latest scandal involving PM Boris Johnson. Rumpole, the question of the day is, has the 1922 Committee received at least 54 letters of no confidence? What say you Rumpole. Are Boris Johnson’s days numbered.
Scola I challenge ur order under Batson
Just what we needed more lectures and name calling from the elite who look down on the lower classes.
Hope this order felt good Bobby....looking forward to another birthday pic without masks...did u check vaccine cards at the door to ur 35 person cozy get together???????
Guess Bobby missed the memo that the vax doesn’t stop transmission (fun fact- it does let a vaxxed person carry four times virus load to infect others as opposed to unvaxxed) or infection. He’s in Sotomayor/Kagan territory.
Alarming to see a judge use such “unpatriotic” language.
DOM posted a false story about Gorsuch. He did it because it fits his narrative. Will he retract? Dont count on it!
Virtue-signaling surplusage.
Last I checked no one was compelled to attend a "cozy get together" under penalty of contempt with potential incarceration as a consequence. I don't know about you, but I don't get summoned or subpoenaed to hang out with my friends.

The party was a blast
Madam Vizcaino,
Thank you for being a brown noser and coming to Bobby's defense. How courageous!
But in case YOU missed it, because you apparently didnt read my post, my point was one of hippocracy. Bobby was waxing righteous about how "all of us have an obligation to consider the safety and well-being of our community." As you may know from watching msnbc, some might very well argue that hosting large maskless gatherings in the middle of a pandemic violates that obligation.
Now sure, bobby is entitled to come to a personal decision about where he draws the line between what is safe and what isnt. And for him, hosting the big bash was perfectly okay, no matter if the virus was spread, and perhaps brought home to someone's granny.
My problem is bobby thinks the exact place he draws the line is perfect, therefore anyone below his level of precaution is a selfish imbecile.
In my opinion, not that I'm a federal judge or anything, the lectures are no longer warranted for 2 reasons:
1. We dont know if omicron is more or less deadly than the flu
2. Vaccination with omicron doesn't prevent transmission
Because of these 2 things, Bobby is being just too arrogant to think his own personal view of where to draw the line is the only one that is reasonable or permissible. Perhaps the better view now is to simply respect each person's decision about whether to take the vaccine. Covid isnt going away, it is endemic!
Its not endemic yet and may not be for a while. Everything is relative. A big bash I may throw for my kids bar mitzvah may look bad, but if everyone is vaccinated the risk is not so great. You can't guarantee jurors invited to the courthouse are vaccinated and the risk posed is much greater.
Hippocracy
Soooo…. If you’re a Navy Seal and you have a fear of a vaccine, you’re unpatriotic?
Some times the judge goes to far but he's the first to admit it. he's a poet warrior in a classic sense.
Seals don't fear anything.
Well. Being a seal does not make you a patriot. But assuming that to be true anyway…the person would fall in the uninformed or irrational category. In fact, given the statistics, that seal would have a greater likelihood of death from his parachute not opening than an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
"Soooo…. If you’re a Navy Seal and you have a fear of a vaccine, you’re unpatriotic?" Yes. Many Navy Seals are complete assholes.
No, 4:29, not unpatriotic, just an imbecile.
Dear 1:54:00
the difference is being compelled under penalty of law vs. making your own personal choice to attend a gathering. I think that was pretty clear from my post. I always sign my name to my post even when I am critical of sitting judges. Mocking my courage on an anonymous post where you do not have the courage to sign your own name is well... not courageous.

4:29 - YES
It’s warrior poet you moron.

I've been vaccinated and had covid since. Why should I have any restrictions?
