The Supreme Court’s mandate review may be the last chance to rein in agencies

Clarence Thomas has long understood the terrible constitutional perversion the Supreme Court imposed on America, and this is his time to roar.

As if we needed confidence in yet another American institution destroyed, we were treated with a true spectacle of deceit in last Friday’s Supreme Court’s oral arguments on OSHA’s vaccine mandates. With the hysterical hyperbole of a CNN anchor, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a self-proclaimed “wise Latina woman,” refuted that description by declaring, “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators.”

Despite her Yale pedigree, or perhaps because of it, as physicist Wolfgang Pauli famously quipped, she’s “not even wrong.” You must at least be in the ballpark to be wrong, especially when the facts are easily accessed on HHS and CDC websites. As of today, hospital capacity is at 79% with only 18% being used for COVID; there are 140 COVID hospitalizations of children; and cumulative child COVID cases since its inception total just 5520. Ventilator use, which proved deadly at the beginning of the pandemic, is used in only 3% of the cases.

Despite Sotomayor’s hysterics and Kagan’s constitutional obliviousness, with OSHA about to ram through the most costly and far-reaching mandates ever—a mind-numbing 154 pages—and Congress on record against it, all under the guise of an emergency, and all without public comment, if today is not Thomas’s promised day to reevaluate the Court’s delegation jurisprudence, then that day will never come.

Life on the Scotus would be so much easier if they followed Clarence Thomas’ reasoning regarding the exec/administrative state . . . and everything else he has to say about our Constitution.
