WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court turned down emergency requests by New York healthcare workers for a religious exemption from state requirements to vaccinate against Covid-19. A federal appeals court in New York previously denied the workers’ requests.
The court denied the requests in brief written orders. As is typical for such emergency actions, the majority didn’t explain its thinking. Three conservative justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch—said they would have allowed the exemptions.
In October, the court denied a similar application from Maine healthcare workers seeking exemption from their state’s vaccination requirements, which lower courts had rejected. The same three conservatives dissented.
As in the Maine case, the New York applicants in separate lawsuits argued that they were entitled to a religious exception because state rules exempted a different category of covered workers: individuals who could suffer adverse health consequences, such as an allergic reaction, from the vaccine.
In the New York suits, nurses and other healthcare workers based their refusal to vaccinate on a religious objection to abortion. The workers believe “abortion-derived fetal cell lines” were used in testing, developing or producing the vaccine, one suit said. Neither lower courts nor the state have questioned the workers “sincerity or religiosity,” the brief said.

All three branches of government do not support the Constitution. The time has arrived for the people to abolish them.
Hopefully, you hold all Presidents, Senators, Representatives, & the permanent bureaucracies to your standard

The standard could be ‘just one single high level appointment chosen or left in their position who is on our side’ and Trump still is substandard.
I seriously just want to hear something from Trump that lets me know that he knows that he made a lot of terrible decisions as president personnel wise and I can believe that it wouldn’t happen again.
That will take a long time before it ends back at the Supreme Court.
Yep😣
[It matters little the level of your religious belief]
That’s what I’m afraid of, too.
I expect to be out of a job by Spring.
So time to polish up the work history. Just got trained on something new last night. Not big training, mind you.
Oh well.
Things changed, radically (no pun intended), in 2008, especially.
Absolutely.
That should always be taken into account when looking at a woman candidate.
They are the greatest disappointment of Trump’s first term.
