Supreme disgrace
By Sally Zelikovsky

January 7, 2022 saw panic porn-riddled disinformation peddled by Supreme Court Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan during the OSHA and CMS vaccine mandate arguments.  You can read about here and here.  I unplugged from the livestream, disturbed by their commentary, believing it revealed deeper cracks in our republic’s foundation than those supposedly from January 6th.

Justice Kagan challenged claims that OSHA’s vaccine mandate exceeded its narrow emergency powers by arguing that nothing could be more necessary than protecting people in the workplace from Covid.  Self-righteous and didactic, her opening salvo was riddled with superlatives, hyperbole, and “we all know what’s best-isms,” a tactic that forces the opposition either to defend itself with facts to rebut hers or forego that defense and carry on with their arguments.  Her lecture starts on page 10 of the transcript:

The best was Sotomayor's statement that, if the states had the power to mandate vaccinations, she couldn't see why the federal government would not have that power.

That was embarrassing to hear that coming from the mouth of a Supreme Court Justice.  It is Con Law 101 that the federal government has only those powers delegated to it, and the states have all powers of sovereignty except those which were denied to them under the Constitution.
