Question presented
The questions presented are: When 42 U.S. Code § 1985(3) provides protection to, “any person or class of persons” against a conspiracy against his rights, does it include the Petitioner, a merchant mariner who declined a COVID-19 vaccine? Are this Court’s methods of determining who falls within the sweeping language of, “any person or class of persons” found in 42 U.S. Code § 1985(3) outdated and in need of revision? Does the National Labor Relations Act preclude a claim of assault under the state of California’s tort laws?
