Eagle Forum Petitions the Supreme Court

Eagle Forum has joined two important “friend of the court” briefs.

 

In National Federation of Independent Business v. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, we argue that the Federal Government cannot compel businesses to require employees to ingest a drug. “The ability to make one’s own medical decisions represents one of the basic, natural, and fundamental choices that Americans can make, choosing how best to protect their health, free from federal government oversight or interference. Demanding that every American bend his knee to decisions being imposed by federal bureaucrats, OSHA’s paternalistic Vaccine Mandate intrudes into an area of our lives in which no government has authority.”

 

 

Many conservative organizations have been defamed as “hate groups” that should be destroyed. The legal bar to prove defamation is too high and requires proving actual malice. In Coral Ridge Ministries Media v. Southern Poverty Law Center, we ask the Court to revisit its rulings on defamation. As Justice Clarence Thomas said, “The States are perfectly capable of striking an acceptable balance between encouraging robust public discourse and providing a meaningful remedy for reputational harm.”
