South Carolina AG, others appeal OSHA vaccine mandate to U.S. Supreme Court
News 13 ^ | December 18, 2021 | Dennis Bright

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WBTW) — South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and his counterparts from 26 other states filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court Saturday morning in an effort to block the Biden administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate.

The filing, announced by Wilson’s office Saturday morning, comes after a panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a split 2-1 decision, lifted a stay against the mandate Friday evening. Lifting that stay would allow the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to require people who work at companies with 100 or more employees to get vaccinated.

“The fight against the Biden mandate continues, even to filing for a stay in the early hours of this morning,” Wilson said. “The rule of law will prevail and the President’s grasp for power halted.”

A long list of companies and other organizations joined in the appeal, which was filed just before 1 a.m. Saturday, Wilson’s office said in a news release.

“This case does not present the question whether vaccines or vaccine mandates are wise or desirable,” the filing says. “Instead, it presents the narrow questions whether OSHA had authority to issue the Mandate, and whether it lawfully exercised whatever authority it had. After all, ‘our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully,’ even during a pandemic and ‘even in pursuit of desirable ends.’”

ZERO confidence that SCOTUS will do the right thing.

Stolen elections have consequences.

Hopefully one state or one targeted worker files a new pleading that since omicron is scientifically confirmed to be far more contagious, every worker physically reporting to a workplace should be tested, every day, regardless of vaccination status.

A few words:

-you're right. And Madame President Hillary was the nail in the coffin after Scalia's death ushered in SCOTUS Justice Merrick Garland. Oh wait...

-Would you prefer that RBG and Kennedy still be on the bench?

-Trump was advised by people on these matters, and sadly Trump's Achilles was his personnel choices. Yes, the buck stops there, but who vetted these mildly rightist (based on Martin-Quinn scores) justices?

-I'm not saying this SCOTUS case is a lock. But the quantum of folks starting to sound like the People's Front of Judea is mind-boggling.

There were warning signs: adopted kids, near lifelong DC area resident.

Many people forget about the testing option.

These states are idiots.

EXERCISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN 10TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

This is not a law, mandates are not laws. Just tell the fake Biden administration that you will nullify any vaccine or mask mandate orders.

We always knew this was going to SCOTUS.

Consider these warning signs for Earl Warren:

“Hoping to become a trial lawyer, Warren enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley after graduating from high school. He majored in political science”

“After graduation, he took a position with the Associated Oil Company in San Francisco. Warren disliked working at the company”

“Warren rejected political contributions”

“In the mid-1940s, Warren sought to implement a state universal health care”

“During the 1950 campaign, Warren refused to formally endorse Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee for the Senate”

“Warren ran in three Republican presidential primaries, but won just a handful of delegates outside of his home state. In the California primary, he defeated a challenge from Thomas H. Werdel, whose conservative backers alleged that Warren had ‘abandoned Republicanism and embraced the objectives of the New Deal.’”

3 judge panel lifts stay. Oh no, it’s all over.

The USSC will not grant the stay. Oh no...it’s all over.

The full 6th circuit will throw out the mandate. Yes! But they’re going to appeal to the USSC and the USSC is no good...we’re boned!

The USSC will not hear that case on appeal and the mandate will be gone. Wow, who would have thought...

Everyone needs to take the tension down a notch. Have a nice Christmas and let what will happen happen.

Missouri said before these lawsuits that the state has no state OSHA and that MO won’t be cooperating with fedgov on this.

If SCOTUS passes on it, red states will just legally secede further, so I think this gets a 9-0 rejection

I have no question based on all of their decisions thus far that SCOTUS will not grant the stay.
If you’re talking about the mandate (they are two different things), you’re smoking crack if you think you’re getting a 9-0 decision throwing it out. We’d be lucky to get 5-4.

But not hearing it after the 6th tosses the mandate? Well, that’s exactly the kind of gutless move that John Roberts lives to make and that is exactly what is likely to happen.

False, the two Obama judges were the ones who wote this legally incompetent decision.

Illegal exexutive action, attempted to be made paletable by a head fake on testing is still illegal.
