If the injunction is overturned, it will be heard by the Eighth Circuit, which has only one active or senior status judge appointed by a Democrat out of 14 on the bench.
That puts our chances at 50/50.
WASHINGTON (CN) — Justice Stephen Breyer on Monday afternoon refused to grant relief to workers at a Boston-based hospital in the latest challenge to Covid-19 vaccine mandates to come across the high court’s shadow docket.Without referring the case to his colleagues on the court, Breyer denied the request for an emergency injunction with no explanation for his ruling or call for a response from the hospital.Mass General Brigham started enforcing its Covid-19 vaccine mandate on Nov. 5 and has since terminated employees that refused to comply. Both a district court and the First Circuit have denied requests for a preliminary injunction in the case. The hospital workers sought an injunction from the Supreme Court while their appeal is pending at the Boston-based First Circuit.The hospital workers allege Mass General is violating their Title VII rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act by enforcing the vaccine mandate without accommodation — something their Supreme Court petition claims has been offered to other employees. The workers claim the mandate violates their religious beliefs or places them in “significant physical or mental danger.”“After putting applicants under constant pressure to forsake their religious beliefs and physical wellbeing, respondent has enforced its deadline for applicants to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs or place themselves in physical danger by taking a vaccine, and relief cannot wait,” the application states. “By choosing not to violate their sincerely held beliefs or place themselves in physical danger, and losing their jobs as a result, applicants face the continuing inability to feed their children, the continuing loss of any practical ability to work in their professions, constant potential homelessness, and continuing significant emotional and psychological harm.”More: https://www.courthousenews.com/supreme-court-refuses-to-block-vaccine-mandate-for-massachusetts-hospital-workers/
I'd put our chances higher than that @Hoodat --- if I read the statement correctly, 13 of 14 judges were appointed by Republicans.
