DES MOINES (KWWL) - Iowa OSHA, the body that regulates workplace safety in our state, has said it will not enforce the federal vaccine mandate, regardless of what the Supreme Court decides.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Friday regarding the Emergency Temporary Standard for all employers with over 100 employees to either be vaccinated or do regular COVID-19 testing. President Biden announced the plan in September but it has been slow to take hold due to several legal challenges.

Hope other states’ OSHAs follow suit.

A lot of states have their own OSHAs.

They are allowed to by the feds. The allowance is conditional. One of the conditions is that the state OSHA have all the fed rules or more.

This talk by Iowa OSHA is bluster, and will have a very short life in federal court, should SCOTUS decide OSHA has the power that OSHA claims to have.

Article VI of the US constitution, US government is superior to the states. All it takes is for the feds to assert their superiority via the federal court system, and it's a done deal. No state has ever successfully resisted any federal rule that was endorsed by the federal courts.

Good for Iowa. While they’re at it they may as well stop helping the Feds with their illegitimate gun laws.

You kinda missed the whole thing with marijuana and illegal alien ‘sanctuaries’ over the last so many years, didn’t you?

This is what it has come to. We have an illegitimate, criminal government and two standards of justice.

The only recourse is pulling the state plan authorization. There is no court option. Arizona is currently under this threat over their refusal to adopt the first ETS in the summer.

My "court" thought was based on some action by the feds, for example puling of the state plan authorization, becing challenged in a court.

But great point, the first move is not by a court, but by OSHA. I think it is beyond disagreement that state plans exist by dint of federal approval.

β€œNo state has ever successfully resisted any federal rule that was endorsed by the federal courts.”

Legalized marijuana.
Sanctuary Cities for illegals.

Care to rethink that?

No. I'll stand pat. See "endorsed by the courts." I don't view it as receding from my point, but I'll add "Federal" to courts
