Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised an interesting point that would support Biden’s mandate, noting that healthcare providers were not “complaining” about the mandate as much as the justices would have assumed. The outcome of this case does not seem as clear as the first.

unless someone gets to one of the justices or we have a Pelican moment ...

Scalia ...

The astonishing comments in the arguments came from Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer.

Their comments were astonishing because they revealed the justices didn’t seem to know or understand basic facts about the virus and vaccines.

Sotomayor said crazy things like there were 100 thousand kids in serious condition from COVID with “many on ventilators,” and that Omicron is as serious as Delta — two demonstrably false things.

Then Breyer decided to keep her company with fantasyland COVID comments. He said 750 million caught COVID yesterday when there are only 330 million Americans in the whole country. Maybe he was referring to the world, but YESTERDAY??

He also indicated he thought all the cases could be stopped by this OSHA mandate — something that, again, is simply not even logical or living in reality.

Fortunately, it sounds like the conservative majority on the Court may have some sense on the matter, even if the liberal wing doesn’t.

They didn’t trip over themselves as Breyer and Sotomayor did. They indicated skepticism as to the “emergency” nature of the OSHA rule and also questioned whether or not Congress had given OSHA such authority. Now, it’s always a good thing to add the proviso that justices’ questions don’t necessarily indicate how they are going to decide. Often, they ask things to rule out positions they’re not inclined toward.

But at least we know they are not as clueless as the liberal wing, and those are reasonable questions to ask.

Man, Sotomayor is unimpressive. A fountain of misinformation. Are the Supremes going to hold up evil mandates as the narrative is losing momentum?

Sounds like the idiot is getting ready to date rape America. If he sees no complaint, he forces us.

I have such low confidence in SCOTUS. Even if they find the right side to decide upon, there will be inklings and rattlings of unconstitutional nature. Of this I have little doubt. They simply are not doing their job.

[DesertRhino]

And why would Kavenaugh look to healthcare providers for an opinion as to whether or not DC has the power to mandate the shot?
This proves that the idiot is not adjudicating law. He feels like it is his job to set policy.

Worthless still. And to think how much we all went to bat for this fake.

Keep in mind that the legal dispute here doesn’t actually involve the workers who must get vaccinated under the OSHA mandate. The plaintiffs in the case before the Supreme Court include employers and state governments. Employers in the health care industry probably don’t really oppose the COVID vaccine mandate because they already impose their own vaccine requirements for other diseases as a matter of course.

The Supremes could give the decision to the states, allowing the blue states to go full out tyrant.

“Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised an interesting point that would support Biden’s mandate, noting that healthcare providers were not “complaining” about the mandate as much as the justices would have assumed.”

I wouldn’t make too much of that, Kavanaugh also made a not so supportive point that the CMS has not mandated flu shots, so why mandate covid shots?

[nagant]

I don’t even think congress has the constitutional authority to impose mandates on private companies.

Tyrants in black robes!
