Tyson Foods is evil. https://t.co/vvBYiQlPqi

Tyson Foods issued a vaccine mandate for its employees. It originally tried to deny people religious accommodations, and originally told them that pro-life beliefs are not real religious beliefs. They realized they were going to get sued over that and it was going to cause lots of political trouble, so they reversed course on that. But their way of giving people religious, or medical accommodations, was to constructively terminate them. Put them on unpaid leave for one year. So I filed suit in Dyre County, Tennessee. We served Tyson very quickly and gave them the courtesy of responding before we filed our request for an injunction. Went through the process of scheduling it through the court. The court took time out to make sure the schedule worked. We met our part of the schedule, and we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on Friday morning, and then Friday at the close of business, Tyson Foods sent notice that they have removed the case to Federal court, even though there's no grounds. It's a patently frivolous motion to Notice of Removal. Tyson knew that a federal court would take too long to rule on remanding it back to state court such that it will be past the timeline for employees to get vaccinated. So they did this knowing that I had had a call with their counsel. No surprise, a big Federalist Society, the lawyer that represents them, Greg Grisham,
Federalist Society recommended two female judges to Trump to sit on the 7th Circuit. They both supported the lockdown & cited Jacobson (forced vaccination case). Now, one of them joins in to let Wisconsin voters have votes counted AFTER election day. The other one awaits SCOTUS. https://t.co/cp5PoccSM6

What do Barr, Barrett, Wray and Milley have in common? Trump trusted The Federalist Society types and Bushies to screen his appointees.

Almost the entire conservative media infrastructure, especially in the legal world, sang from the same lyrics about how "smart" & "Scalia-like" #ACB would be. The few of us who dissented were routinely shouted down and attacked. Maybe time for fewer Federalist Society members? https://t.co/xAK7IVRDBS

Just remember folks: the Federalist Society's first big jurist favorite in a decade+ for the Supreme Court was #Roberts. Almost everyone on the right-leaning media, legal and political right celebrated Roberts, told you how great he would be, and slammed any of us who dissented.

Look at who funds Federalist Society? Then look at who funds @reason. Then look at who opposes any controls on #BigTech, supports open borders, and funds anti-Trump "conservatives". Same Koch family. https://t.co/So29tKTbIN

Federalist Society lawyers are filled w/ #NeverTrump types, aligned on many cultural issues w/ their liberal professional class brethren & deferential to established press & liberal cultural institutional influence. Staff = policy, and staffing has been Trump’s biggest weakness.
