I did not say that requiring the jab is legal. I do not believe that it is, and I think use of OSHA will be shot down by the courts.
I simply said the argument that sex discrimination laws have anything to do with whether the jab is legal is a bogus argument. This is a distinction that has become lost too often on Free Republic. It is entirely possible to make a crappy argument in support of a position that ultimately is correct, and just because someone points out that the particular argument is crappy doesn't mean that they disagree on the ultimate issue.
If we as conservatives are going to argue against a government action, then it is important that we use good arguments in support of our point rather than bad ones. That's why it is importance to point out bad arguments, even when they are being made by someone on our side.
You’re missing the obvious.
Their power (short of unconstitutional brute force) is “proof by intimidation”.
Acting like the serious, sane, sober, mature, responsible, EDUCATED adults, with all the associated slanders.
All you have to do is to get one or other people to start snickering, and the Karens lose all their scold power.
So saying “let me put this prick in you or you get fired” works; it’s different enough that it suspends the spell while people puzzle it out; then when they do, they can’t help but grin at the joke; and the panic-induced blindness goes away.
