The Last Cert Petition Standing: Kory v. Bonta and the Supreme Court’s Silent Spotlight Grows

The Last Cert Petition Standing: Kory v. Bonta and the Supreme Court’s Silent Spotlight Grows

Comments 1 comment

As of August 4, 2025, the Supreme Court has resolved every single cert petition filed during the 2024–2025 Term—except one. Our case. Kory v. Bonta is the last remaining cert petition pending. Every other petition has been denied, granted, vacated and remanded, or reversed without full briefing. That includes every petition from the June 18 conference, when Kory was distributed, and every petition from all earlier and later conferences. They’ve all been disposed of—except Kory. That doesn’t seem routine to…

Judge Shubb Denies the Preliminary Injunction in Kory v. Bonta, but the battle continues

Judge Shubb Denies the Preliminary Injunction in Kory v. Bonta, but the battle continues

Comments 1 comment

Yesterday, April 23, 2024, Judge Shubb denied our motion for a preliminary injunction in Kory v. Bonta. The case, as you will recall, was a follow-up to the Hoang and Hoeg cases challenging AB 2098, where in January 23, 2023, Judge Shubb granted a preliminary injunction baring enforcement of the law. The judge recently dismissed both of those cases after the 9th Circuit dismissed the two other AB 2098 cases on mootness grounds, because the legislature repealed AB 2098 (Section…

Yesterday we had the hearings in the Hoang and Hoeg cases, that being the attorney general’s motion to dismiss both cases on mootness grounds. You will recall that on February 29th, the Ninth Circuit decided that the other two AB 2098 cases were moot and order the district court to dismiss the two cases and also the vacate their decisions, and really just means Judge Slaughter’s ridiculous and pretty ignorant decision indicating that AB 2098 was constitutional. And that was…

On Thursday afternoon, February 29th, the Ninth Circuit basically ended the AB 2098 litigation. The actual decision held that the McDonald appeal of Central District Judge Slaughter’s denial of a preliminary injunction against the law was moot, because AB 2098 enacted as Bus. & Prof Code 2270 had been repealed as of January 1st. The decision covered the related Southern District case where the judge refused to decide the preliminary injunction motion because of the pending McDonald appeal. The Ninth…

So here is what’s going on, some good, but some not so good, but even the not so good presents some opportunities. To recap, on January 2nd, we filed Kory v. Bonta, which takes the battle against the Cali. medical boards to the heartland of their powers, those being the power that no man (or woman) shall challenge, the STANDARD OF CARE. The point of Kory is that there is no more of a legitimate Covid standard of care than…

It is Wednesday January 3, 2024. Since 2022, I have been obsessed with “Covid misinformation”. I find it deeply disturbing considering how wrong public health authorities have been since the beginning. There is evidence suggesting that the authorities have knowingly mislead the public about the professed ability of the vaccines to prevent infection and transmission, which was the basis of the mandate, and which until the Covid vaccines, was the whole point of a vaccine, and not only the point…

It was reported on Monday by the Los Angeles Times that legislators discretely incorporated the repeal of AB 2098, (Bus. & Prof. Code 2270), the temporarily enjoined Covid misinformation law, into the comprehensive health care boards bill, SB 815. Given the bias of the story, I won’t provide you the link to it. Instead, I will dive into the source: Here is the full SB 815 Bill Text – SB-815 Healing arts_. It is 28 pages. Like all bills, it…
