e are in the deep throes of a constitutional crisis in the following sense: we are trying to find our way back to it.

In a likely never before seen openly brazen way, we have not two, but all three branches of our government jockeying for control. It is unprecedented in the modern day. Historically it is the Executive and Legislative Branches that engage in fierce and costly competitions for the power to do something to the citizenry, albeit directly to us, or with our money.

But now in 2025, we see the once-thought highly respectful Judicial Branch entering the ring. A true power struggle of epic proportions. Who is right, and who is overstepping? A verifiable crisis indeed.

The cause is clear. So is the answer.

The cause? Well, we have a new administration in the White House, one that was resoundingly put there by an unquestionable majority of Americans. The 47th President won not just the Electoral College, but he won the popular vote by millions of votes. It was a modern-day landslide. However, We The People did not stop there.

This past November, we didn’t simply elect a new leader; we also gave him all the tools he would need to get the job done. Namely, we gave him a Republican House of Representatives and a Republican Senate. We Americans, tired of the lawlessness of the Biden years, (where the absurdities came at such a rapid rate that your head would spin, and then explode, from the shock of their backward policies), decided to clean house at a level not seen in recent memory.

We cast aside the radical, anti-American policies of Biden and his handlers, and we gave President Trump the White House for a second time. This time, however, that privilege was coupled with a mandate, and we cleared the path for him to execute it. An all-Republican-Congress will do his bidding, which is our bidding. Gone are the days of outlandish insanity (like appointing a Supreme Court Justice who has no idea how to define a woman because well, as she explained, she’s not a biologist). No more! Logic, law, and order are full steam ahead. Nothing can stop us now…

Or so we thought.

The following is from Bobbie Anne Cox’s Substack:

As you likely know, in addition to practicing law, I am also proudly a Fellow at the prestigious Brownstone Institute. For those readers who may be unfamiliar with Brownstone, it is a non-partisan think tank dedicated to “elevating learning, science, progress, and universal rights to the forefront of public life”, as noted on their elaborate and informative website.

Earlier this month, we had Brownstone’s 5th annual conference, at which I participated as one of the attorneys on the “Law and Legal Issues” panel. The panel was moderated by my colleague, Brownstone founder and President, Jeffrey Tucker, who asked me to discuss the harrowed story of my epic David v. Goliath battle against the worst governor in our nation, who runs one of the most radical states… New York.

It is difficult for people to question what they have known all their life to be something that is “good” or “honest” or “reliable.” Why would you doubt the things that everyone around you (including your trusted friends and beloved family members) are telling you are true, and pure, and good?  Of course the government is there to protect us. Of course the legal system is designed to uphold our righteous laws and defend liberty. Of course the newscaster on the TV is telling us the truth. Of course the drugs our doctors prescribe to us are there to help us get well. 

As hard as it is to question societal norms, it is even more difficult to do something about it. Indian author Arundhati Roy has said:

“The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.”

In questioning traditional, stalwart institutions, we find ourselves standing on the precipice of a rabbit hole so large and deep, it is better likened to a meteoric crater than simply a hole. There are so many craters all around us now – the government crater, the legal crater, the medical crater, the media crater, and so on. These craters are appearing one after the next, in parallel formation, and like dominos, if one begins to fall, the chain reaction of full scale collapse is undeniable.

Let us, for a moment here, peer over the ridge of one of these craters as we ask ourselves…

Is modern medicine a sham?

Let’s first look at the learned, societal norm…When most people hear the word “medicine,” their mind immediately forms a positive opinion and thinks, “This will help me feel better and get well.” Like Pavlov’s dog, we have been trained to correlate medicine with the thing that cures your sickness when you are ailing. You have a malady, you go to the doctor, they give you medicine, and it will fix the malady from which you are suffering and restore your health. Right? Ehhhh, well, ummmm, not exactly. Sadly, in today’s world, “health” has become synonymous with “medicine,” and medicine has become an industry – and not just any industry. It is a behemoth!

Did you know that the largest lobby we have in the United States is the pharmaceutical industry? It is the largest, by a long shot, as it solidly towers over all of the others. Let me share some numbers with you. Pharma spends approximately $380,000,000 (three hundred eighty million) every year lobbying Congress. To give you some perspective, the second largest lobby industry in our nation is the electronics manufacturing industry, and it spends about $250,000,000 a year lobbying Congress. The third largest is the insurance industry which spends about $150,000,000 a year lobbying Congress. All the other industries that lobby simply pale in comparison. These statistics alone reveal so much.

And so, health (which used to mean how well your body functions in relation to other natural interactions and happenings like sufficient sunlight, fresh water intake, clean air, sufficient sleep, what you eat, and how much you exercise) now means medicine. When you go to the doctor, do they ask you how much water you drink and the amount of sunlight you absorb every day, or do they ask you what pills you are popping? Whether because of the C-19 debacle, or perhaps through osmosis, the medical industry has recently garnered a reputation of being untrustworthy and ineffective – two adjectives that can surely take down the entire industry once they hit a critical breaking point in numbers of non-believers.

Let’s look at someone’s real-life example as a case study. Let’s look at mine. Quick caveat that I am of course not offering medical advice of any kind, but instead simply sharing my recent experiences.

You say to yourself, I must have tried the wrong key. Let me try another. But it wasn’t the wrong key. No. Instead, you realize that someone changed the lock on the door! You cannot get into your house! So you knock on the door, and to your shock, the door opens and you are standing face to face with a complete stranger. You demand they leave, of course, but astonishingly, they refuse. They say it’s their house and has been for weeks now, even though they never asked your permission, or signed a lease, or paid a penny to live there.

The nightmare continues, when you call the police to report a trespassing, only to have the police tell you that they are powerless to do anything, since the “trespassers” have been there for more than 30 days. Thanks to New York State law, those occupants of your house are not trespassers, nor are they breaking the law. Nope. Just the opposite. They are now your tenants, and they possess all of the amazing “rights” that the lawmakers in Albany have bestowed upon tenants, to the severe detriment of landlords.

So now you are a landlord, even though you never met the people who are living in your property, you never got to run a credit check on them to see if they can afford to pay the rent, you never got to do a criminal background check to see if they have an undesirable history which could open you up to liability, etc. As a landlord, in order to get these squatters out of your house, you must now hire an attorney and go through the very lengthy and quite costly expense to sue them. Evictions take months upon months, not days or weeks. As a landlord, you are obligated to maintain the property until the eviction is complete. So you must continue to pay the property taxes, the mortgage, the insurance, upkeep on the grounds, heat working, water flowing, etc. In other words, you must pay for these total strangers to live for free. Indefinitely!

This nightmare situation is known as squatting, and not only is it real, it’s becoming extremely common place. I was recently on NTD News to discuss this criminal phenomenon. You can watch that interview here.

New York state is one of the worst states in the nation to own a gun. Thank goodness for the Second
Amendment and for the Supremacy Clause in our federal Constitution, which (in its most basic description) puts federal law above state law (for the most part). If it wasn’t for those two staples in our federal Constitution, New York state would undoubtedly wipe gun ownership off the state map!
How do I know this? Just look at the overwhelming evidence. To start, did you know that the word
gun doesn’t even appear in our state Constitution? Not once. Nor does the word arms. The only remote (and highly tenuous) reference to the right to bear arms in our state Constitution is Article XII, which establishes an organized militia. The entire article is two, rather anorexic, sentences that
read:

Section 1. The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for
the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.

This is a far cry from codifying the Second Amendment into our state Constitution. Regardless, thanks to our federal Constitution, no matter how begrudgingly, the radical politicians who control our New York state Legislature must allow gun ownership. However, they have a long history of pushing the limits with government overreach in this arena by making it extremely difficult to own a
gun in this state.

Watch the NTD News interview below with attorney, Bobbie Anne Cox.  In the interview, she explains the details of the ruling and its importance.

By Bobbie Anne Flower Cox   March 3, 2025

What is your first reaction to the title of this article? Shock? Disbelief? Skepticism? I’m sure many of you are thinking, But it’s 2025…We are 5 years out from the insanity of Covid-mania. And we have a new Administration in the White House…How on earth are you talking about “quarantine camps” now? 

Well folks, the truth of the matter is that my quarantine camp lawsuit which I first started three long years ago has just reached its conclusion. The highest court in New York State, the Court of Appeals, issued its final ruling in the case…This panel of seven appointed judges is refusing to hear the case! That means the grossly erroneous intermediate appellate court’s ruling will stand, which in turn means that Governor Hochul and her dystopian New York State Department of Health are free to reissue their heinous quarantine camp regulation at will. Buckle up, New York!

This is a true travesty, not only for 19 million New Yorkers, but for all Americans. “How can that be?” you might ask. A little-known fact is that our federal government issued a quarantine camp regulation very similar to New York’s, and as far as I can tell, it was modeled on (and updated to its latest form after) New York’s! The only reporting I could find on this unbelievable fact is by Brownstone Institute founder and president, Jeffrey Tucker. His article, The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide, tells the tale. Of course, the feds didn’t call it a “Quarantine Camp” regulation. (Nor did New York’s DOH). They always wrap the biggest lies up in candy, don’t they? The feds called it “the shielding approach,” and you can read more details about it on their website here.

Now that New York’s regulation is being left open for re-enactment, there’s no chance of using our onerous and lengthy legal battle as persuading precedence in a fight against the federal reg. In very simple terms and generally speaking, state courts do not have a binding effect on federal courts. Nor do federal courts have a binding effect on state courts, except for the United States Supreme Court.

That being said, there is such a thing called persuasive precedence. It’s when a court that is not subject to mandatory precedence considers the decision of a non-binding court even though it doesn’t have to. It’s akin to professional courtesy, but it also typically follows logic. For example, if the highest state court in Pennsylvania ruled that forced masking during Covid is illegal, it would be persuasive precedence for a state court in another state to rule accordingly. Now, this does not always happen, but it does happen often enough that it is a common stance in law.

Applying to the case at hand, after I’ve just gone through three years of costly and time-consuming litigation on New York State’s quarantine camp regulation, if I had a decision from our State’s highest court that upheld my trial court win, then that decision could have been used as persuasive precedence in a case against a different state’s (or the federal government’s) quarantine camp regulation. Something that I was considering at one point. However, that’s not how the game unfolded.

I explain…

Let’s begin with the reg itself. For those of you unfamiliar with my epic, David v. Goliath battle against New York State’s quest for ultimate control, you need to first understand what their quarantine camp regulation empowered the State to do. This excerpt from an article I wrote for the American Thinker back in June 2022 (before I won the initial lawsuit), paints a clear picture of the stunning atrocity that was the NYS “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” regulation…
