Not really. The only thing before the court was whether OSHA could force businesses to mandate a vaccine.
OSHA can’t.
Private businesses are private actors. If they initiate their own vaccine mandates at the powerless urging of China’s puppet, it’s not an issue of Constitutional law.
States can pass their own laws to prohibit businesses from mandating (Montana has) but absent a State law (or a contract issue) to the contrary, private businesses still have the option of requiring their own mandates. I’m
Sure the most work companies are going to keep mandates in place.
We do need to be more informed as a group as to what is happening.
But private companies can be sued by employees and those private companies could then sue the Fed Gov for coercion?
Sounds reasonable. But my point is, a sitting President is encouraging private entities to ignore the ruling as though he is the final word. So what is the need for a ruling by the Supreme Court if a POTUS can overrule, which is what he is doing. Back to the same theme of this administration, there is not a rule of law except the law we impose.
I'd add "on an emergency temporary basis." That's the "grave danger" level of risk. OSHA regular rules don't require that level of risk.
The same "OSHA mandate" issue can come through the courts again - this time involving District Courts - is OSHA proceeds to implement the rule after the period for public comment.
I understand that the SCOTUS opinion is on a "stay" or "injunction" basis, and too that the opinion reads as though OSHA lacks this power, period. Won't be the first time the government rebooted an arguably incorrect/illegal/unauthorized order against the public in the face of what looks like court opposition. I doubt the court is really opposed. All it is concerned with is institutional legitimacy and maintenance of federal powers.
