It was Bruce Williams who sued Gillette Mayor Shay Lundvall demanding that he should be allowed to deliver invocations at meetings in the same proportion as there are atheists in Wyoming. Pew Research suggests some 3% of Wyoming residents say they are atheist, so Williams presumably was arguing to deliver invocations at 3% of the meetings, meaning about three every eight years if the meetings were monthly.

He had been permitted to deliver his speech at least once a year for the last nine years. But a report at Cowboy State Daily explained he demanded more.

District Judge Stuart S. Healy III originally dismissed the case, explaining the city and mayor have immunity from lawsuits under these circumstances. The state Supreme Court now has agreed, the report explained.

Williams also had complained he was required to cite the Pledge of Allegiance, to which he objected because it includes the words “under God.”

The decision from the high court said, “We acknowledge Mr. Williams’s efforts to convince us to allow his complaint to proceed. However, ‘(the) decision of whether to waive immunity for a governmental entity – belongs to the Wyoming Legislature, not this court.’”

The decision was written by Justice Lynne Boomgaarden. Under Wyoming’s Constitution, the state and its political subdivisions are immune from lawsuits unless the lawmakers authorize them.

Their latest update on that issue came in 1979 when they adopted the Wyoming Governmental Immunity Act which provides permission for lawsuits for specific situations.

That law also, the court ruling said, while allowing some contract lawsuits, is not a tool for launching civil rights fights. That would be, the ruling said, a federal law.

The CIA Is Being Sued for Refusing to Hand Over Covid Bribery Information https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-cia-is-being-sued-for-refusing-to-hand-over-covid-bribery-information/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/the-cia-is-being-sued-for-refusing-to-hand-over-covid-bribery-information/#comments Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:56:17 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199836 On Friday, The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against the CIA for refusing to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the conservative think tank. The request was for information relating to members of the team the CIA put together to investigate the origins of COVID, six of whom have been accused by a whistleblower of accepting bribes to change their position.

And this whistleblower isn’t some random, anonymous person on Twitter. Back in September, they testified before the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

According to the House Oversight Committee:

The whistleblower, who presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer, alleges that of the seven members assigned to the CIA team tasked with analyzing COVID-19 origins, six officers concluded that the virus likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China. The CIA, then however, allegedly offered financial incentives to six of the experts involved in the investigation to change their conclusion in favor of a zoonotic origin.

After the testimony, four Republican Senators, led by Rand Paul (R-KY), sent a letter to CIA director, William J. Burns, requesting information regarding the whistleblower’s allegations. The Heritage Foundation also filed a FOIA request for the information, and the CIA’s refusal to comply with it is why the think tank’s Oversight Project is currently suing them.

According to The Daily Caller:

Heritage is suing the CIA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and its lawsuit lays out five claims of relief against the CIA.

Heritage’s original FOIA request sought records from the creation of the discovery team and all records shared among team members associated with COVID-19’s origins. In addition, the conservative group demanded records of any financial bonuses and communications between discovery team members and officials from numerous agencies across the federal government.

The lawsuit asks the court to compel the CIA to produce all non-exempt records under Heritage’s prior FOIA request and to cover Heritage’s costs incurred.

This lawsuit comes at a time when more and more people, both inside and outside the government, are finally admitting that COVID most likely came from a lab in Wuhan. A theory that for years has been dismissed as conspiracy.

YES! Trump Sues CNN for $475 Million for Defamation https://americanconservativemovement.com/yes-trump-sues-cnn-for-475-million-for-defamation/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/yes-trump-sues-cnn-for-475-million-for-defamation/#respond Mon, 03 Oct 2022 21:15:11 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=182343 President Donald Trump is going to court again. This time, he’s going on the offensive.

Bloomberg is reporting that Trump is suing fake news hoaxers CNN for defamation to the tune of $475 million. He believes, as do I, that the network “has escalated a campaign of libel and slander against him recently because it fears he’ll run for re-election in 2024” According to Bloomberg:

CNN has attempted to taint Trump “with a series of ever-more scandalous, false, and defamatory labels of ‘racist,’ ‘Russian lackey,’ ‘insurrectionist,’ and ultimately ‘Hitler,’” the former president’s lawyers said in the suit filed Monday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Trump is seeking at least $475 million in damages, according to the filing.

“Beyond simply highlighting any negative information about the plaintiff and ignoring all positive information about him, CNN has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

We can all hope and pray that he’s successful. That would be wonderful. Unfortunately, our two-tier justice system is unlikely to reward their #1 target or damage one of the top propaganda machines, but the effort is still worth it.

Democrats Cheer on Pure Evil as Satanic Temple Sues in Federal Court to Overturn Abortion Bans Over “Religious Rights” https://americanconservativemovement.com/democrats-cheer-on-pure-evil-as-satanic-temple-sues-in-federal-court-to-overturn-abortion-bans-over-religious-rights/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/democrats-cheer-on-pure-evil-as-satanic-temple-sues-in-federal-court-to-overturn-abortion-bans-over-religious-rights/#respond Mon, 03 Oct 2022 21:10:14 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=182340

The Satanic Temple continues to be the best champion for radical leftists who want to overturn abortion bans that are popping up in red states across the nation. Democrats have tacitly accepted that this is really about “Satanic Abortion Ritual,” and therefore helped frame this issue in a way the Christian conservative right has always viewed it: Good vs Evil.

The context of this move cannot be dismissed. For the Satanic Temple to claim it’s a religious right to kill a preborn child is acknowledgement of what they and the left truly desire. This isn’t about a woman’s bodily autonomy. It’s about a religion’s need to sacrifice children. Some leftists may balk at that characterization, but the devil is in the details.

According to Axios [emphasis added]:

The Salem-based Satanic Temple is suing Indiana and Idaho in federal court over their abortion bans, arguing they violate the religious rights of people in those states. The Satanic Temple filed its complaint against Idaho on Friday, a week after filing a similar one in Indiana…

In latest lawsuits, the temple argued each state’s ban violates the rights of people who took contraceptives and still became pregnant, denying the right of an “involuntarily pregnant woman” to engage in the “Satanic Abortion Ritual.”

Well, that’s pretty straight forward. The Satanic Temple and other religious groups such as the Church of Satan need preborn babies to be aborted as part of their faith. This coincides perfectly with historical and Biblical references to child sacrifices to deities such as Baal.

Some may object to tying this with Democrats, but here’s the thing. You aren’t seeing anyone on the left saying they oppose the premise behind the lawsuits. They’re not saying, “Hey, we don’t agree with them but if that’s what it takes to give us our consequence-free sex back, right on!”

Instead, they’re staying silent or outright cheering it on as de facto support for killing a preborn baby as part of a “Satanic Abortion Ritual.”

Democrats who do not speak out against these lawsuits are giving tacit support to the notion that abortion is necessary for pagan baby sacrifices to continue unabated in the United States. They justify embracing evil because in their minds, the ends justify the means.
