Liberty Counsel appeared in federal court on March 10, 2022 representing “Navy SEAL 1 v. Austin”. They were defending Judge Steven Merryday’s February 2 ruling the Navy violated the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and allowed plaintiffs to temporarily avoid Covid vaccination as required by the Brandon Administration and the Department of Defense (DOD) while the unconstitutional shot mandate is under appeal.
Testimony from a Navy Commander of a surface warship and three flight surgeons was presented. The Commander testified, “Generals and admirals should be here saying what I am saying today to uphold religious freedom. Our religious freedoms are being attacked.”
Outrageous goings on by the Commander’s Command (no doubt as directed by the DOD), such as:
- the filing of an affidavit that they “lost confidence” in the Commander because he was unvaccinated
- The ship under his command could not be deployed due to his vaccination status.
During the time of DOD’s legal gyrations, the “Commander was far out to sea testing the ship and training the crew. While many Commanders fail to complete these operations timely, the Commander completed the mission early and the ship deemed “safe and ready.”
