Amish community of 25,000 Threaten NY Exodus over Vaccines and loss of religious exemption

What a moron Governor Andrew Cuomo was! Leave the Amish people alone! Is this another case of government paternalism?

Apparently, the current Governor of NY Kathy Hochul did not bother to reverse the poor decision by her predecessor!

Why mess with American Exceptionalism!

Unfortunately, the articles did not make clear which Supreme Court (NY, or US)!

"New York’s Amish community, 25,000 strong, is threatening to leave the state for good as its fight against school vaccine mandates heads to the Supreme Court.

The battle dates to 2019, when then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo ended religious exemptions to the state’s school immunization requirements after a measles outbreak. Three one-room Amish schoolhouses have since racked up $118,000 in fines for refusing to comply.

Last December, the [US] Supreme Court ordered an [Second Circuit Court of Appeals] to take another look. The court ruled against the Amish again in June, and their lawyers plan to petition the high court next month.

If they lose, attorneys say the community will pack up its buggies for Pennsylvania, home to about 95,000 Amish. “Our Almighty God wants us to fully put our faith and trust in Him,” one Amish father wrote in a handwritten letter explaining the refusal."

"... In 2019, following a measles outbreak in an Orthodox Jewish community, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo rescinded religious exemptions for school vaccine mandates—making it the second state to ever do so, behind California.

Post-COVID, two other states, Maine and Connecticut, removed religious exemptions while West Virginia never had them. ..."

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo accuser speaks out: He was 'arrogant,' he didn't care, in front of my husband, kids

Update of 8/10/2021: I bet that Cuomo had to resign to prevent more serious charges against this governor would be pursued! Greg Kelly demonstrated now for a second time within a week that Andrew Cuomo was cancelled for some reason and the less than convincing sexual misconduct allegations were a ploy. Watch Greg Kelly: It was the culture that took down Cuomo. Or watch Tucker Carlson's take If you don't think this is a conspiracy then you don’t know New York, perhaps Cuomo had outlived his usefulness to the Dimocratic Party.

Update of 8/8/2021: This lastest, very short testimonial is probably insufficient as well. Cuomo accuser speaks publicly for the first time 

I am afraid this testimony is not good enough to accuse governor Cuomo of sexual misconduct etc. If this accuser has not suffered more than several kisses on her cheek and some hand holding in public with lots of witnesses around then this is a joke! The other witness incident presented yesterday was also not very convincing! That leaves us with 9 other witnesses.
