In my own state, things are heating up:
Unreal.Top Republicans in both the state Senate and Assembly went to court Wednesday seeking to block a new policy that requires all people — including lawmakers — to show either proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative coronavirus test to enter the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton.
The legislators filed a lawsuit in State Superior Court against the State Capitol Joint Management Commission, the little-known state commission that approved the policy in October as New Jersey continues to deal with the pandemic that has killed more than 28,300 residents.
...
Assemblyman Erik Peterson, R-Hunterdon, said he has “no legal obligation” to follow the policy.
“I don’t think the policy applies to me,” Peterson said. “The Constitution doesn’t give anyone the right to give conditions as to being able to vote in the chambers as an equal measure. Nobody can legally prevent me from going in and voting in the chambers. I think people need to get back to a good civics class and learn how the Constitution works.”
a party whose main organizing principle on Covid is opposing just about any social action to slow the pandemic.

Im so far past simply hating them. I wish each one would jump to their deaths from the highest cliff. Id stand there clapping for them and slip a dollar in their pocket so they feel like they're back home in DC.

Party of law and order.In a surreal scene, a number of Republican state lawmakers repeatedly declined to follow a new COVID-19 vaccine policy at the New Jersey Statehouse on Thursday in a 15-minute standoff with State Police troopers who tried to stop from entering the state Assembly chambers.
After learning the troopers wouldn’t physically block them, the legislators simply ignored the protocol and walked in the chambers.
Just like the 1/6 "tourists"!After a few minutes, another Republican, Assemblyman Brian Bergen, R-Morris, told the lawmakers that the troopers said they would not “physically restrain us.”
“We can just walk past them,” Bergen said.
A GOP member that's vaccinated and complying? I hope she enjoys her time left as a elected official.Many Republicans did comply with the police, if not happily.
“I know you’re just doing your jobs. But this is horseshit,” state Sen. Holly Schepisi said as she showed troopers her vaccine card while walking into the Senate chambers.
It's way worse. We are fighting a cold civil war everywhere now. It's a simple goddamn rule with accommodations but they are foaming at the mouth about liberty? People are fucking dying. It also doesn't escape me that they are cowards on top. They are all mostly vaccinated if not secretly.
Where we go one, we go all. He is identifying himself as a member of Q-Anon.
This simmering anger is everywhere. I'm also noticing a lot more unabashed disobedience. People parking in no-parking or firelanes, double parking and blocking streets, running all manner of stop signs and red lights, smoking/vaping wherever they want.malchior wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 9:29 amIt's way worse.

I'm at my wit's end over this stuff. I had a 'parking lot' rage incident yesterday at a local Quick Check because some idiot thinks my Tesla threatens his way of life or something. I don't have a clue to be honest what the real beef was. Naturally this guy jumped into a pickup with a Let's Go Brandon, Trump is President, and WW1WGA stickers on their car -- after I was forced to fucking beat my chest at him. I wasn't going to mention it but this story set me off. That guy is DIRECTLY BEING ENCOURAGED by people like these assholes and it is going to lead to violence. It nearly did yesterday. I'm so tired of this stuff.
As Patrick Henry said, "Give me liberty and give me death." Or as NH sees it, "Live free and die."malchior wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 9:29 am they are foaming at the mouth about liberty? People are fucking dying.

Two major Utah healthcare providers have paused all requirements that employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Wednesday's announcement comes a day after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that stopped President Biden's national vaccine mandate for all health care workers.
Intermountain Healthcare and MountainStar/HCA have temporarily stopped the requirement pending the outcome of the federal lawsuit and a clearer direction.
In case anyone was wondering.MANCHIN, in stmt: "I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses. That’s why I have cosponsored and will strongly support a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses."
I saw that yesterday.

There are states pushing back on federal contractor requirements, yes:Skinypupy wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 12:19 pm Seems like this would be a different situation, as we are direct federal government contractors. AFAIK, the requirement for contractors to be vaccinated will still remain in place, for now anyways. I could be misunderstanding though.
So yes, different requirements but all under attack.Kentucky’s attorney general won a preliminary court order Tuesday to block President Joe Biden’s coronavirus vaccination mandate for federal government contractors and subcontractors.
The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove stops the mandate from taking effect in Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio.
“This is a significant ruling because it gives immediate relief from the federal government’s vaccine requirement to Kentuckians who either contract with the federal government or work for a federal contractor,” Kentucky’s Republican attorney general, Daniel Cameron, said in a statement.

Indeed. As frustrating as Manchin is as a democrat, it would be infinitely worse with him as a Republican.Kraken wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 5:20 pmIf he becomes a republican, Moscow Mitch becomes majority leader.

We had 4 years of an entire administration literally saying and showing people it was ok to not follow the rules if you don’t like them. I would only be surprised if fans of that administration DIDN’T start showing similar behavior at the street level.LawBeefaroni wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:02 amI'm also noticing a lot more unabashed disobedience.

These things have always been happening but now it's almost a badge of honor or something. "No one tells me what to do and I'll prove it!" No consequences, no shame.
