These last three years We The People have experienced an unprecedented and unrelenting attack on our first amendment right to free speech. Like Chinese censorship, America has been thrown into an information war on all fronts and as a result “fact-checking” has become nothing short of a tiresome, misleading, and dishonest blight on actual reporting. Get ONLY the facts here as we continue to fact-check the “bought and paid for “Fact-Checkers”. Read how Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox is firing back against the state’s misinformation/disinformation campaign and join the fight to preserve our Liberty.🗽DEC 4By Bobbie Anne Cox, Esq. In the past two weeks since the NYS Supreme Court Appellate Division shockingly reversed our quarantine lawsuit victory over Governor Hochul and erroneously ruled that my plaintiffs didn’t have standing to bring the case, there has been a flurry of confusion and a tidal wave of questions. I wrote an article last week to try to answer some of the most common questions about the lawsuit, the status of the quarantine reg, our next steps, etc. You can read that article here.However, it’s clear to me that further explanation is needed still, and that in particular, I have to fact check the self-proclaimed “fact checkers.” It’s astonishing I have to take the time to do this, but I’m quite happy to do so, because it irks me to allow misinformation to float around out there. Funny, I thought the totalitarians hated “misinformation,” and that’s why they censor (or get the mainstream media and social media companies to censor) truth. But I guess that’s only the “misinformation” that goes against their agenda. Ok, so here it goes…Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox... Knowledge is power! is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscribe.I do a lot of public speaking, and I often times hear from people at these events that they try to tell others about this quarantine lawsuit battle, but people either don’t believe them that it’s true, or they accuse the person of exaggerating because “Kathy Hochul doesn’t actually want to put people into quarantine ‘camps.’” I think that this likely has a direct correlation with the Associated Press’ (“AP”) self-proclaimed “fact check” article that they put out a few days after my oral arguments against the Attorney General at the Appellate Division courthouse. If you hadn’t heard, about 400 people showed up that day to hear me argue the case in front of the 5-judge panel, and at the end, the crowd erupted into a tremendous standing ovation that followed me from inside the courtroom, through the courthouse, and out onto the courthouse steps! It was like something out of a movie. Truly, that never happens in real life. My arguments were live streamed and recorded not just on the court’s website, but by media outlets like Epoch Times, NTD News, and CHD TV. You can watch the arguments here, you can watch the standing ovation in the courthouse atrium captured by Shannon Joy of Shannon Joy Radio here, and you can read about my autobiographical account of the day here.So as a result of the big splash that my oral arguments made, there were news reports, like this one by Gateway Pundit ("Attorney Defending Constitutional Rights Receives Standing Ovation for Her Oral Arguments Against NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Tyrannical Quarantine Camp Lawsuit Appeal"), and there was a fire storm on social media about the case. People were talking all about Hochul and her thirst to overturn my lawsuit victory from 2022, so she could have the power to put New Yorkers into quarantine “camps” at will. This prodded the AP to write a “fact check” article about my case. The author of the article reached out to me, and to each of my legislator-plaintiffs, for information. We provided a joint statement to her, which she completely ignored, and then went on to write an article that assumes you are so ignorant, that you don’t realize their double play on words, nor do you see the wool they’re pulling over your eyes.Here is the link to their article, and here it is reproduced below:New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is not trying to create ‘quarantine camps’By Melissa GoldinPublished 7:45 PM EST, September 19, 2023CLAIM: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is trying to create “quarantine camps” in which people can be held against their will if they have COVID-19 or other diseases.AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Officials have repeatedly said that the state has no intention to build quarantine camps. Critics are misrepresenting a temporary rule adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic that outlines powers by state health officials to isolate or quarantine people for the purpose of controlling a highly transmissible disease. The rule said that people can be isolated or quarantined in interim housing, rather than just their own homes, but doesn’t mention camps. It was deemed unconstitutional by a judge, who said the state overreached, but also did not mention camps.THE FACTS: The state has appealed the judge’s decision, and oral arguments took place last week. In the days since, some on social media resurrected the false claim that the rule is part of a plan by Hochul to create “quarantine camps” in New York.“She wants quarantine camps for diseases that could be COVID, could not be COVID, things that aren’t even contagious,” a woman in a popular TikTok video said of Hochul. “Things like Lyme disease, ok? Things like toxic shock syndrome. You know, the thing you get if you put a tampon in wrong, ok? She wants you to go to the quarantine camp for that.”The video was viewed more than 350,000 times, though was no longer on the platform as of Tuesday. An Instagram post that shared the same clip had received more than 2,000 likes.But neither Hochul nor other New York officials have proposed creating “quarantine camps.”Cort Ruddy, a spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health, told The Associated Press that he cannot comment on pending litigation. But agency officials have previously told other media outlets they do not intend to create such camps.Instead, this claim distorts a temporary regulation that the state has moved to make permanent.The rule, Section 2.13, outlined isolation and quarantine procedures to control highly transmissible diseases. It was first adopted as part of New York’s Codes, Rules, and Regulations on March 9, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The rule said the state commissioner of health may issue isolation or quarantine orders, or may direct the local health authority to do so. Among its guidelines, it stated that in addition to an individual’s home, isolation or quarantine may take place in temporary housing, as deemed appropriate by public health authorities.But nothing in the rule mentions “camps” nor suggests the state has plans to erect them, Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University, confirmed.“New York State, the federal government, or for that matter anywhere in America that I’m aware of, has no immediate plan, or plan at all, to reissue any kind of isolation or quarantine,” he said. Gostin noted that such measures were rare — even during the height of the COVID pandemic, when New York’s rule was in effect — and recommendations for people to stay at home were far more common.Rather, “temporary housing” could refer to situations like someone who lives in a congregate setting with vulnerable individuals, and who therefore might be better off isolating in a room in a hotel, Gostin said.Section 2.13 was extended by successive 90-day periods after its adoption three years ago, and the state moved to make it permanent in December 2021.The state has argued that the rule merely clarifies powers to compel people to isolate or quarantine that it already had — a position Gostin concurs with. However in March 2022, three Republican state lawmakers filed a lawsuit arguing that it encroached on the legislature’s lawmaking powers and that requiring people to isolate or quarantine against their will violates their right to due process.The suit does not allege the creation of “quarantine camps.” State Sen. George Borrello, the lead plaintiff on the case, told the AP in a statement that its intent was to invalidate Section 2.13, “which was a clear breach of separation-of-powers.”“Given the language, it is clear that the Commissioner of Health or a local health department could quarantine individuals against their will at a location of the Commissioner or Health Department’s choosing - a gross abuse of due process and New Yorkers’ civil rights,” Borrello said.In July 2022, State Supreme Court Justice Ronald Ploetz voided the rule, saying that it violates state law and “ignores the balancing act between an individual’s rights and the need for public safety.”New York Attorney General Letitia James filed an appeal to Ploetz’s decision on behalf of the Hochul administration. The appeal is still underway.___This is part of AP’s effort to address widely shared misinformation, including work with outside companies and organizations to add factual context to misleading content that is circulating online.There are so many misstatements in that article, it would take me quite a while to explain them all to you. So I’ll just say, that I think this supposed “fact check” article is best summed up in a recent Epoch TV show, Facts Matter, where Roman Balmakov points out, in essence, don’t worry, the government is not trying to put you into quarantine camps, because their Rule 2.13 says “temporary housing” and not “camps” so…. And if you think that there is no difference between “camps” and “temporary housing” that you are forced to stay in until the government says you can leave, well, that’s on you!I’m laughing now, even as I write, because it’s so ridiculous they don’t think you see through their double talk. You can watch Roman’s report here. I strongly suggest you do. In addition to making me laugh out loud about the AP article’s absurdity, Roman also does a nice job explaining the history of my lawsuit, the reg, etc.In the end, I fact check this AP “fact check” article as - FALSE!My next point of clarification is:Rule 2.13 “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” does not exist at this moment. My lawsuit victory in 2022 successfully struck down that horrendous, totalitarian regulation, and the Judge forbade the Governor and her DOH from re-issuing the regulation. Because it was an emergency regulation, and we prevented it from becoming a permanent regulation, in order for Rule 2.13 to become valid again, the Governor and her DOH would have to go through the administrative process of re-issuing it. Thanks to the Appellate Division ruling two weeks ago, the Governor and her DOH could start that re-issuance process at any moment!Will they do that? Well, that depends on two things…Whether or not my appeal to the NYS Court of Appeals (the state’s highest court) is successful or not, andWhether or not you (the public, the voters, the people who this dystopian regulation will affect if re-issued) get loud enough about preventing its re-issuance.That first issue is up to me and my amazing team that I have surrounding me in this battle for the Constitution and for our very freedom.That second issue is entirely up to YOU. My plaintiffs in this quarantine legal battle (Senator George Borrello, Assemblyman Chris Tague, Congressman Mike Lawler, and Uniting NYS) have been encouraging New Yorkers to speak up about our lawsuit, the terrible appellate court decision, and to condemn re-issuance of the reg. Uniting NYS has a list of things on its website that you can do. Here is that list:Contact your State Senator and your State Assembly Member and tell them you’d like them to publicly speak out against this ruling and against this terrible quarantine regulation. You can send them Uniting NYS’ web page about the lawsuit, or share my website Media page with them so they can get all the details about the reg and our case, here.My lead plaintiff, Senator George Borrello, wrote a letter to Governor Hochul last week encouraging her to stand down and not re-issue this highly unconstitutional regulation. You can read Senator Borrello’s letter here. Share it with your State representatives, with your friends, your family, on your social media, etc.Contact Governor Hochul and express your disappointment over this regulation, and urge her not to re-issue the reg.Help raise awareness by writing an article, an op-ed, a blog, a social media post, etc… about this crucial issue. Here’s one such article that was recently written by a concerned New Yorker, Michael Kane, on his Substack.Help spread the word by re-posting my Tweets, following me on Substack and sharing my articles on your social media. Here are a few of my Tweets you can amplify:twitter.com/Attorney_Cox/status/172824440848168594twitter.com/Attorney_Cox/status/1727308059004031068twitter.com/Attorney_Cox/status/1726423837565132955Photo by www.Emannphoto.com ...

“The idea that the State Health Department will lawfully quarantine a New Yorker against their will sounds Soviet... The Judiciary has a role to play in checking the Executive and I'm deeply disappointed the Appellate Division missed the opportunity to draw the line at tyranny... Governor Hochul is falling right behind Cuomo in a lust for power of the state over individual rights. We'll continue to fight until we win back a future for New Yorkers that includes freedom.”-Mark Walczyk, New York State Senator ... See MoreSee Less

Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox answers the important questions New Yorkers are asking but Bobbie Anne is being censored. Please help us warn We The People of New York by sharing this far and wide. Follow her on Twitter and Sign up for her weekly Substack so you can stay informed on this crucial lawsuit. 🚨 Question: Was the subject of this lawsuit (10 NYCRR 2.13 “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures”) a law or a regulation?It was NOT a law. It was a regulation (or rule). The difference is that laws are created and passed by our legislature (our state senators and assembly members) - the representatives that we elect every 2 years here in New York state. Conversely, a regulation/rule is created by an agency (for example, the Department of Health), which is comprised of unelected bureaucrats who do not answer to We the People. Very important to understand this next part - regulations cannot conflict with laws, or with the constitution! Why not? Because regs are written by unelected government employees who are beholden to nobody except the head of their agency (ie the commissioner), or to the executive directly (ie the governor) who appointed them. You cannot vote out agency members who write these rules and regs. But, you can vote out your state legislators if you don’t like the laws they are passing - and that’s why legislatures (not agencies) make laws… because they are accountable to the voters!🚨 Question: Doesn’t the state need the power to force someone to quarantine if they are sick?In some situations, yes… BUT, we already have a quarantine law! Any involuntary quarantines are supposed to take place pursuant to our longstanding quarantine law which was passed in 1953, and is FULL of due process protections. Our 70 year old law is a careful balance between the rights of the citizen v. the desire of the government to keep people safe from disease. The governor and her DOH cannot just ignore that law and create their own rule that totally conflicts with the well-balanced law that our legislature made decades ago.🚨 Question: What is the status of this regulation now?We already sued the Governor and her DOH last year, and we WON. The court struck down the regulation as unconstitutional on multiple levels. You can read the judge’s decision from last year here. Since we got the reg thrown out as unconstitutional, and because it was an emergency reg at the time, it has long expired, so it does not exist now (because the trial court judge forbade the Governor and DOH from re-issuing it ever again). Now that the appellate court overturned that ruling, the Governor and DOH are free to re-issue that horrendous reg whenever they wish.🚨 Question: If re-instated, does the reg allow me to choose where I can quarantine?This unconstitutional regulation does NOT allow you to choose where you will quarantine. The DOH will tell you where, for how long, etc.🚨 Question: Do I get the right to an attorney?You do NOT get the right to an attorney until AFTER you are locked up or locked down. There is also no right to a hearing before you are locked up or locked down. Actually, there is no hearing at all. It’s just the DOH deciding you should be isolated or quarantined - no proof needed that you are sick (or even exposed to a disease)!🚨 Question: Is there any warning before I have to isolate or quarantine?There is NO notice requirement, and the reg says they can use the force of police to ensure you comply, so you could get a knock on your door and it could be the police with an edict from the DOH forcing you to isolate or quarantine wherever they deem appropriate, for however long they say.🚨 Question: But what if I can prove I’m not sick? Can they still force me to isolate or quarantine?They do NOT have to prove you are sick! They can force you to quarantine without any proof of anything.🚨 Question: But COVID-19 is over, so how can they still be pushing this regulation?This is NOT just about Covid-19. There’s a long list of diseases, which is easily changed, by unelected bureaucrats in the DOH.The diseases on that list are NOT all “highly contagious communicable diseases.” The list includes things like toxic shock syndrome, botulism, and Lyme disease!🚨 Question: If they quarantine me, how do I get out once I’m locked up?There is no way for you to regain your freedom once you’ve been locked up or locked down. What I mean by that is, when I was arguing this case before the trial court last spring, the judge asked the AG’s office, let’s say you take a family and you put them into a facility somewhere, once they’re in there, how do they get out? After a pregnant pause, the Attorney General said they guess you could hire a lawyer and sue them to let you out!🚨 Question: Can you appeal to a higher court?Yes, that is what I am working on now. There is one more court above this appellate court, it’s called the Court of Appeals, and it is the highest court in the state.🚨 Question: Why are you still living in New York with such an out-of-control, totalitarian governor? Move away!Fleeing the state is not the right answer. If everyone leaves and nobody stays to fight back against the unconstitutional government overreach, then this insanity will take hold in New York, and then it will spread! It may take some time, but eventually this will spread to other states, and then there will be no place left to run and hide. ... See MoreSee Less
