A federal judge has ruled in favor of a New York City policy that allows schools to ban unvaccinated kids from attending classes when another child has come down with a vaccine preventable illness, the New York Times reports(paywalled).

Nicole Phillips, the mother of two[...], explained when she sued back in 2012. "We'd rather rely on our natural immune system and our faith in God. This is about my children's rights."
Judge William F. Kuntz II of the Federal District Court in Brooklyn disagreed with that argument, determining that the Supreme Court has "strongly suggested that religious objectors are not constitutionally exempt from vaccinations" and concluding that the city's strict vaccine guidelines are in place to safeguard its residents' well being.

the judge cited a 1905 Supreme Court ruling upholding a fine for a Massachusetts man who refused to get vaccinated during a smallpox outbreak

Quite frankly, I don't know WHAT the CIA has and you probably don't either. They've got a huge black budget, and quite possibly off-the-books income as well.
The last time I wrote to a congresscritter was when the Snowden shit dropped. I emailed Claire McCaskill, who I'd actually campaigned for in multiple elections. I asked her what she planned to do to stop the NSA from unconstitutionally spying on me. She (or rather, her lackeys) basically said that she fully supported the NSA spying every single American citizen, and that she had no intention of changing this position.
I'm never voting for a Republican or a Democrat again, and I don't really even see the point of writing to them. They're not going to listen unless you pay them to, even when you're asking them to uphold an oath they already swore. I'm probably not writing to any more congresscritters, and should they happen to browse the comments of SoylentNews they can discount my mad ravings as psychobabble all they want.
