Plaintiffs sued Hochul and the NYS Department of Health arguing the quarantine rules violated their rights and overstepped the separation of powers.
The plaintiffs initially won the lawsuit, however, NY Attorney General Letitia James filed an appeal to overturn the verdict.
The state’s Supreme Court Appellate Division on Tuesday ruled in favor of Hochul.
Noted attorney Harmeet Dhillon reacted to the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division’s ruling.
“Time for SCOTUS to step up and overturn Jacobson v Massachusetts, an outdated decision that enables the violation of our fundamental human and civil rights nationally as happened in COVID and will surely happen again the next time malevolent actors want to manipulate a credulous and enervated populace. We must NEVER let this happen again and this authoritarian decree needs to be reversed at the polls in every state and territory in the nation,” Harmeet Dhillon said.
This is actually what courts ruled throughout America in over a dozen cases I litigated in early to mid COVID. We won three religious liberties cases at SCOTUS through @Liberty_Ctr & we helped @realDailyWire defeat a corporate vaccine mandate, but courts approved fascism daily… https://t.co/USF5nElep0

WROC reported:
A decision in a lawsuit over New York’s COVID-19 quarantine regulations has been overturned.
After oral arguments ended last September, the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division ruled that the state’s Commissioner of Health is allowed to issue quarantine orders to control the disease.
According to the document, the plaintiffs “lacked standing” in their complaint that the quarantine regulations overstepped the separation of powers.
This decision comes after a lawsuit was filed against Governor Kathy Hochul and the NYS Department of Health. The plaintiffs, including Senator George Borello, argued that the regulation impedes individual liberty and oversteps the separation of powers.
The plaintiffs won the lawsuit against the Hochul administration, but NYS Attorney General Letitia James appealed to overturn the verdict on behalf of Hochul and the Department of Health.
