FWIW, I’d say there’s a decent chance, if Deep State has decided to cut its losses, that Deep State will use the courts to KO the vaxx mandate.
That way Deep State doesn’t lose face and keeps the illusion that court system still functions as it used to do.
I think the last thing that Deep State wants is this for this to go to SCOTUS.
Because if Deep State uses SCOTUS to rubber stamp the mandate, then the last fig leaf will fall. And it will become very clear that we are no longer a republic.

I doubt the opposition cares.They want obedience and couldn’t care less about consent.
Why would SCOTUS support the mandate? 5th Circuit en banc decision against Xiden will surely be appealed by the Zombii; there is a deep divide of opinions right now whether SCOTUS will let the 5th upholding 6th stand, or get 4 votes to take it on and use it to finally put Jacobson v Mass out of its misery.
The latter is a viable scenario if Roberts reserves the right to agree in part (OSHA portion of edict was fatally flawed) 5-4 and disagree in part (try to preserve the statist raison d'etre behind Jacobson).
