There IS justice in America:
On Thursday afternoon, the Supreme Court weighed in on Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees. The Court ruled with a 6-3 margin to strike down the OSHA mandate for businesses with more than 100 employees, but it did allow the mandate for federally funded healthcare agencies with a 5-4 vote.
The conclusion on the per curium brief in favor of striking down the mandate concluded that OSHA’s powers are limited to regulating the workplace, yet COVID-19 affects more than just the workplace, which means that the pandemic falls outside of OSHA’s purview.
Addendum (from Kate): The Biden White House might want to take the Twitter away from Klain for a while.
Those damn Yankee red-necks. Thank-you!
Half justice. Mandate stands for health care workers.
There aren’t enough Philippinos in the world to have this enforced in the healthcare community…
Correct spelling is Filipinos
Thanks for the correction.
Yup looks like they cut the baby in half
Be cause the gov pays for it. I’m not crazy about it, but I can se why the court did what it did.
But if this Court
were to abide them only in more tranquil conditions, declarations of emergencies would never end and the liberties
our Constitution’s separation of powers seeks to preserve
would amount to little.
Dementia Joe will call the justices Robert E. Lee or something, as he continues to believe he’s in the Civil War.
If there was any justice at all: rope, tree, liar. Some assembly required.
No batteries?
Lampposts are on mains.
There is already a shortage of doctors and medical entities accepting Medicare and Medicaid, especially the latter. It’s about to get worse.
Not only that, the short-staffing at medical facilities will continue.
I suspect you are going to start seeing more medical practices opting out of medicare/medicaid as a result of this decision, especially since those 2 programs often don’t cover the full cost of procedures
The dissent contends that OSHA’s mandate is comparable to a fire or sanitation regulation imposed by the agency.
How can the dissenting Justices be so stupid? I mean … seriously mental midgets (err, small people)! Fire and sanitation regulations are all “external” … even hand washing mandates (amigos! Please lavar los manos after wiping) are EXTERNAL to the human body. Building safety modifications have nothing whatsoever to do with modification of human DNA.
If the dissenting justices cannot discern the difference … they have no business serving on the High Court.
Mamet principle in action.
The funny thing about SCOTUS justices is if they’re described as being the conservative side they’re pegged as going to vote a certain way every time, which they don’t. Someone who is on the liberal side of the spectrum? You know exactly how they’re going to vote unless it’s once in a blue moon and yet this is not considered to be an issue.
Democrats place conformance with party politics far above adherence to the constitution and performance of their actual assignments. Note the uproar from Democrats, across the board, because two of their own won’t support Biden’s Build Back Bankrupt bill. Sinema and Manchin apparently object to the bill because of its projected impact on the US economy, and stratospheric economic overreach. Democrats are irate with them because they are giving these things consideration, and fulfilling their responsibilities to the electorate. Ethics and morality seem to matter not at all. When was the last time we saw a Catholic Democrat vote to limit abortion?
Republicans, contrarily, fall out of line with party objectives when they want to show someone their ass. Romney and McCain are/were the archetypal actors in that bad movie. Both ran for president and lost, and resented Donald Trump, because he succeeded where they failed. That’s a very childish motivation for some awful vote casting.
I think it can be argued that Washington DC erodes the thoughtful, careful consideration we expect Supreme Court judges to give their decisions. John Roberts certainly seems to vote in a manner that ensures he will be invited to all the best cocktail parties.
Sotomayor demonstrated that she gives no time preparing for the cases the court is called upon to consider; and Breyer did the same with his “750 million” comment. No preparation is apparently necessary, given that they are going to vote exactly as the political party demands.
Sotomayor already demonstrated an unfathomable level of moronity in the hearing on this issue, when she stated that 100,000 children were afflicted by Covid, and many of them on ventilators. That level of ignorance shocked me, even coming from an Obama “diversity” appointee.
Constitutionally, this was a 1″ putt.
To add to what I previously posted, the OSHA mandate is a huge win.
It seems that 5 judges in the superior court do not seem to understand the American Constitution yet. This is a win for now for businesses, but not for freedom. I am not an American, but am a cheerleader, as governments all over the world are over-stepping their mandates.
Xiden + a whole army of Dem imbeciles will scream now that they need to increase SCOTUS. Or else ‘Democracy’ is at risk 🙂
Since the Dems are on track to getting the floor wiped with them in the 2022 mid-terms, they should be careful what they wish for; the GOP would probably be quite happy to pack the SCOTUS with more conservative justices.
One of the Iron Laws: “Me today, you tomorrow.”
“Since the Dems are on track to getting the floor wiped with them in the 2022 mid-terms=”
Ugh not sure about that. Trump wiped the floor with Xiden and it did not matter in the end. They even managed to cheat their way into 50/50 senate.
Historically, the midterms are bad for the party which holds the presidency.
This makes it harder for them to cheat. Conventional wisdom and the more independent polling numbers are not working in the favor of the cheating Dems. I expect a false flag “domestic terrorism” attack to try and save their asses.
COVID is the most intelligent organism in the universe. It knows the difference between a Medicare or Medicaid funded facility and one that is not. Because, you know, science.
When you let the government write the checks, you let the government write the rules.
This is what comes of letting government into the insurance business, and we’re going to get it, good and hard.
COVID also only strikes between 10pm and 5am! I hope the time zones don’t confuse
the as yet to be isolated virus!
Ace talks about it. Good read.
Split Decision: Supreme Court Upholds Injunction Against Biden’s OSHA Vaccine Mandate;
Fake “Conservative” Justices Uphold Mandate for Health Care Workers Mandate

Ummm…not to rain on anyone’s parade but I wouldn’t characterize this as a huge win but it’s a win nonetheless.
There’s corporate America and as I understand it the CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicade Services) mandate still stands.
Not exactly something that’ll get you out on the streets to celebrate.
Babylon Bee – don’t be surprised this becomes reality.

Imho Kananaugh made a rookie mistake. His decision clearly ignores the issue of acquired natural immunity and continual re-infection.
Any justices relying on the authority of government evidence is on a fool’s errand. That authority is no longer trustworthy, it is politicized.
They all need reminding what happened in FISC with judges giving such evidentiary trust to fabricated intelligence. Is Fauci different?
They need to take their own counsel. The dissent was deluded, beyond the delta bias given omicron is the operant variant to test.
Then like the 2005 Chaoulli case in Canada striking the ban on private health care, it at exposes the usurpers posing as representatives.
