The organization Make Americans Free Again shifted its legal strategy from claiming constitutional rights violations to challenging the existence of a legal emergency. Working with attorney Tom Renz, the group focuses on filing lawsuits that accuse government officials of fraud regarding pandemic data. This approach aims to force discovery in court and make officials pay for their actions to prevent future overreach.

Ohio is identified as a model state for both draconian mandates and successful legal pushback. Dr. Popper claims that after attorney Tom Renz filed a lawsuit on August 31, 2020, Governor Mike DeWine abandoned plans for state-funded quarantine camps. She highlights how filing lawsuits has forced officials in various states, including New York and Ohio, to rescind emergency orders just days before scheduled court appearances.

Make Americans Free Again is building a national law firm by vetting and integrating attorneys across the country to share discovery and resources. Dr. Popper compares this strategy to the litigation against the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma, where persistent lawsuits eventually found a judge who allowed discovery to proceed. The goal is to find a single judge who will grant a document dump from agencies like the CDC or individuals like Dr. Fauci.
