Judge criminally charges 3 U.S. Marshals after one refused to reveal vaccination status in his courtroom

 Via Cousin John

On Monday, June 14th, a federal judge in South Dakota criminally charged three U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) officials with contempt of court and obstructing justice in connection with a marshal who refusal to reveal her COVID-19 vaccination status to his court.

The Associated Press (AP) reported that in March, U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann attempted to require all courthouse employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

In response, U.S. Marshal Daniel Mosteller, who leads the agency in South Dakota, told Kornmann that would not be attainable since USMS was not requiring its marshals to be vaccinated.

  2. This is just trying to set a precedent to require the 'average joe' reveal his 'Vaccination' status upon demand, HIPPA be damned. If TPTB can force fed officials to reveal their status, it establishes jurisdiction. Then, it's all downhill toward you and me ...

  3. Define HIPAA Your Honor: Hipaa or Hippa? The correct acronym is HIPAA which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA is the most far reaching legislative act passed since ERISA. It directly affects healthcare providers all across the nation.

  4. HIPPA laws are pretty specific. Nobody but nobody can require you to release medical information of records. Especially any gov.co entity.

  5. Seeing that the U S marshals guard him he might have just stepped in it .

  6. Wow. That is a serious power trip by the "Judge". This is why judges shouldn't be allowed to instantaneously turn people into criminals with "contempt-of-court" charges. They can just demand whatever the hell they want, without having to provide any proof of proper authority or even show what law has been violated. And without a review by any other judge before actionable legal action is taken against the accused.

    These power hungry egomaniacs have always strived to find "legal" means to harass people and now they have Covid-madness as an excuse to create and abuse a whole new group of second-class citizens.

    This BS is really scary, but if the quotes are accurate may be a boon to the Marshals' defense teams:

    "At the hearing, Kornmann stated that he reviewed the facts and argument presented thus far and has determined that the marshals not disclosing their vaccination status was wrong. He also called the argument made by the general public that individuals have the right to choose not to get the vaccine as “nonsense.”

    He went on to call the arguments made by USMS “frivolous” and “bogus,” including the assertion that the officials could not be held in contempt because the order did not refer to them. Kornmann said:

    “That is bogus. They engaged in a conspiracy.”

    Kornmann added that the supervisors’ job was to obey and execute orders of the U.S. District Court and said their actions caused defendants to miss hearings without any warning given to their attorneys or the court. He said: “This was such an outrageous thing to do.”

    Later, Kornmann categorized the marshals’ actions as either kidnapping or holding the defendants hostage. He said:

    “Nothing like this has happened in the United States.”

    During the hearing, he offered the USMS officials an opportunity to resolve the case. Kornmann suggested they each make an apology, an admission of wrongdoing, and pay a $5,000 fine. However, none of the supervisors chose that option."

  7. In a functioning republic the judge would be up on charges, tried, impeached, removed from office, charged with abuse of power, violation of civil rights, found guilty, imprisoned, and sued by the abused until the end of time.

    Don't hold your breath.

    Y'all have a nice day.

  8. HIPAA laws apply ONLY to those who have access to health information as part of their employment....those in healthcare fields, those who do billing etc. Asking or requiring someone to disclose their vaccination status is NOT covered by HIPAA laws for those NOT employed in such jobs.

    This is just another episode of a black robed pirate acting like the assclown most of them are. Will be interesting to see how this turns out...a Fed judge going toe to toe with a Fed Agency. I suspect eventually the judge loses on this issue.
