SCOTUS Cases and COVID - Jacobson v. Mass.

This Doc has a Law Degree from Yale. I have a law degree too. He gets the argument exactly right, and I, another attorney, will put some meat on these Jacobson bones in later videos. Things to remember:
1. Jacobson was decided BEFORE World War 2, and BEFORE most of the Bill of Rights were incorporated so as to apply to both federal AND State government.
2. Many Opinions, including one written by Justice Sotomayor in 2013, have clearly stated that a citizen is free from bodily invasion (abortion), even when it's a needle - https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/11-1425.html
("The principle that a warrantless search of the person is reasonable only if it falls within a recognized exception, applies here, where the search involved a compelled physical intrusion beneath McNeely's skin and into his veins to obtain a blood sample....").
3. Corporate media fact checkers misconstrue Jacobson, blindly stating that it "upholds the state's right to force vaccinate you" which is false. Mr. Jacobson was suing over a $10 (one time) fine he was ordered to pay for not getting the polio vaccine. The decision did not grant blanket powers to force medical treatments on citizens by the States.
4. There was absolutely no disagreement among legal scholars (up until COVID) that the U.S. acts unconstitutionally if it mandates or coerces any individual to take an unwanted vaccine.
