Just when you thought there was no stopping the ‘mandatory vaccination’ train, enter the United States Supreme Court.
While the 3 Justices that Trump appointed to the high court have not always ruled as we would like, today they did turn in a decision respecting individual liberty and curtailing the powers of the federal government.
Whatever happened to ‘if you like it, do it, if you don’t like it … don’t do it?’ It seems like the Supreme Court still understands this notion … in this instance …
The Gateway Pundit reported:
‘The US Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Joe Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate for businesses with 100+ employees.
However, the conservative majority allowed the healthcare worker rule to remain – Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the lefties.
“Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
“Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category,” the court wrote.’
CNBC reported:
‘The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration from enforcing its sweeping vaccine-or-test requirements for large private companies, but allowed similar requirements to stand for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments.
The rulings came three days after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s emergency measure started to take effect.
That mandate required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees must get vaccinated or submit a negative Covid test weekly to enter the workplace. It also required unvaccinated workers to wear masks indoors at work.
Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, said during arguments that he thinks it’s hard to argue that the 1970 law governing OSHA “gives free reign to the agencies to enact such broad regulation.”
