High Noon at High Court for Vax Mandate

[mystery-ak]

According to CDC data, in the week ending Jan. 1, children under the age of 4 had 4.3 COVID-19 associated hospitalizations per 100,000. Children ages 5 to 17 had only 1.1 hospitalizations per 100,000. Both are well under the rate of 14.7 in adults over 65.

•Hospitals are nearing capacity (Sotomayor)

. . . because of a shortage of workers brought on by 'vaccine' [sic] mandates.

Left-Wing SCOTUS Justices Spew COVID Misinformation To Defend Biden’s Unconstitutional Vaxx Mandate
By: Jordan Boyd
January 07, 2022

SCOTUS liberals lied that ‘hospitals are almost all full capacity’ and that more than 100,000 kids are hospitalized on ventilators with COVID.

This is the best news for stripping the credibility of this SCOTUS turd for a long time.  How can this bitch be a honest unbiased juror, when she so apt at bald face lying.

JUST IN: Two lawyers that argued against Biden's vaccine mandate in front of the Supreme Court have tested positive for COVID.

The irony.— Aaron Parnas (@AaronParnas) January 7, 2022

They’re both triple vaxxed, proving that any mandate would be laughably ineffective and purely draconian. https://t.co/i1Wh2VYZ5Q— Jordan Schachtel @ dossier.substack.com (@JordanSchachtel) January 7, 2022

The thing that gets me is that while it is definitely unconstitutional, the heart of the issue is whether the Courts want to let the bureaucracy get away with the Cartman defense (respect muh Broaaahhhd Authoritah!), or actually deny them from becoming the Fourth branch of govt.

If the Courts let this crap happen, then there will be little to adjudicate, because all the FedGov has to do is say 'Broad Authority! If anything SCOTUS needs to slap this down out of mere self-preservation.

Fact Check: Justice Sotomayor Claims Omicron ‘Just as Deadly for the Unvaccinated’ as Delta

While the omicron variant of coronavirus is highly infectious, Sotomayor was wrong: deaths and hospitalizations have been less frequent than for delta.

She's a f'king idiot!

She's not an idiot @mystery-ak   .... she's sticking with the administration's narrtive.  This, after all, is her job.

When Supreme Court justices start sounding like CNN hosts, you know the country is screwed.

I agree, but I don't see things ending positively; the scales of the justices are weighted liberal.

Any bets on Roberts and his extortable ass involved?

I doubted Gorsuch the most of the new trifecta ... but he's turning out to be the bright light.

Insane that it took over an hour for one person in the court to note that a single unelected federal agency doesn’t have the authority to stick needles in the arms of every person on earth.

Justice Gorsuch is bringing the oral back to which are the “appropriate parties” for such regulations and whether Congress gave the agency this authority under the “major questions” doctrine.

More to the point, does Congress even have that authority to give?

Recall that Congress needed a Constitutional Amendment to ban consumption of alcoholic beverages, and another to reinstate them, which would indicate that for Congress to have the authority to regulate what humans consume or do not consume is a power not originally granted by the Constitution.

She isn't unbiased.
She has been diabetic since childhood, is doubtless overweight (at least) by BMI, and those are two of the major comorbidities which place a person at risk of death with COVID. Others may apply.

Like much of the population who are living in terror and hanging on every word of COVID agitprop, she is in fear for her life from the bug. Full on raving panic mode--something the press would induce in us all, had that ship not sailed.

In her case, the caution towards the disease may well be justified, but the idea that the injections will stop people from catching or spreading the disease is not supported by the evidence, despite her belief to the contrary.

I'm sticking with my 6-3 prediction.  The only law in question here is the OSHA law, and there is nothing in it to justify mandatory jabbing.

Still wish though that someone would have put up an Amendment III argument.

[Ghost Bear]

My prediction is that the Court will rule 5-4 for upholding the mandate. The reasoning given will be that the health emergency trumps whatever the law actually says. And America's march to becoming a third-world banana republic will accelerate.

Which one are you thinking will defect to the Dark Side?  Kavanaugh, Roberts, or Barrett?

Roberts won't have to defect, he is already on the Dark Side. One of the three Trump appointees will join the leftists to make the majority. They may draw lots to pick who has to do it, for all I know.

EDIT: @Hoodat looks like you were right, they just issued a 6-3 ruling allowing the stay against the mandate to stand. Maybe we're not as advanced to banana republic-hood as I thought we were.

Roberts for sure, probably all 3.

Splitting the baby.  MFers.

[Hoodat]

I will be stunned to lose Barrett.  But I could fathom losing Kavanaugh.  Roberts is 50-50 at best.

All three asked questions specific to the 1970 law, which cannot be defended.  Roberts is always looking at what Congress did (which in this case has been silence for half a century).  Barrett is weighing the justification for temporary action from a law that does not justify permanent action.  And Kavanaugh is a party partisan who could easily sell out the American people if his Party thought they could derive more power from it.

The court was divided in both cases. The court ruled 6-3 with the six conservative justices in the majority and three liberal justices dissenting in blocking the broader workplace ruling. The vote was 5-4 to allow the healthcare worker rule, with two conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joining the liberals in the majority.

I can't wait to read the legal reasoning for allowing the healthcare mandate to stand.  IF I can without twisting my mind into a pretzel!
