Justice Samuel Alito, joined by conservatives Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, dissented. "Neither CMS nor the Court articulates a limiting principle for why, after an un-explained and unjustified delay, an agency can regulate first and listen later, and then put more than 10 million healthcare workers to the choice of their jobs or an irreversible medical treatment," Alito wrote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH Tell me, how can you mandate something that at this point clearly shows it isn't working, and where you can still catch and spread it while being fully vaccinated? Not even talking about all the known side affects either. If anyone is OK with this B.S. they are as dense and blind as they come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH Well doesn't it come down to your own interpretation of the law/constitution whether or not you agree with the SC? I'm sure there are rulings we all disagree with. In the end what they say goes.

SMH You never replied back about Mayo firing 700 workers and it being no big deal. Our governor is spending $40 million to bring in 350 workers for 2 months. This is on top of letting covid positive and asymptomatic nurses stay on the job. Quote ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – Minnesota will spend $40 million in federal pandemic relief funds to hire more health care workers to help hospitals challenged by staffing as the Omicron variant spreads rapidly, Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday. Walz said the state is looking to bring up to 350 more workers, mostly nurses, to work 60-hour weeks for the next two months. The state is working on a contract with a national staffing firm to bring in the new employees, who will be placed at different hospitals across the state based on need.

teamgreen02 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Quote The Solicitor General does not dispute that OSHA is limited to regulating “work-related dangers.” Response Brief for OSHA in No. 21A244 etc., p. 45 (OSHA Response). She instead argues that the risk of contracting COVID–19 qualifies as such a danger. We cannot agree. Although COVID– 19 is a risk that occurs in many workplaces, it is not an occupational hazard in most. COVID–19 can and does spread at home, in schools, during sporting events, and everywhere else that people gather. That kind of universal risk is no Cite as: 595 U. S. ____ (2022) 7 Per Curiam different from the day-to-day dangers that all face from crime, air pollution, or any number of communicable diseases. Permitting OSHA to regulate the hazards of daily life—simply because most Americans have jobs and face those same risks while on the clock—would significantly expand OSHA’s regulatory authority without clear congressional authorization. Quote The dissent contends that OSHA’s mandate is comparable to a fire or sanitation regulation imposed by the agency. See post, at 7–9. But a vaccine mandate is strikingly unlike the workplace regulations that OSHA has typically imposed. A vaccination, after all, “cannot be undone at the end of the workday.” In re MCP No. 165, 20 F. 4th, at 274 (Sutton, C. J., dissenting). Contrary to the dissent’s contention, imposing a vaccine mandate on 84 million Americans in response to a worldwide pandemic is simply not “part of what the agency was built for.” Post, at 10.

teamgreen02 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 A couple other notable paragrahps. Quote In looking for legislative support for the vaccine mandate, the dissent turns to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117–2, 135 Stat. 4. See post, at 8. That legislation, 8 NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS v. OSHA Per Curiam signed into law on March 11, 2021, of course said nothing about OSHA’s vaccine mandate, which was not announced until six months later. In fact, the most noteworthy action concerning the vaccine mandate by either House of Congress has been a majority vote of the Senate disapproving the regulation on December 8, 2021. S. J. Res. 29, 117th Cong., 1st Sess. (2021). Quote It is not our role to weigh such tradeoffs. In our system of government, that is the responsibility of those chosen by the people through democratic processes. 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. 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.

Robert Barns said the justification for this is hospitals regularly mandate vaccines for workers and this mandate has a well defined medical and religious exception. So those that don’t want it will be able to object. I agree with you these mandates should be struck down across the board regardless of exceptions.

Simply put, when the Biden appointee was caught stating that using businesses to enforce their will is a great “walk around [the Constitution]” should have ensured all of this idiocy should be tossed. Also, leave it to the libtwats to make millions religious and even make up thousands of new religions in the process.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 14, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Can anyone think of any other thing gov or your employer can force you to put in your body that doesn't stop you from getting or spreading what the vaccine is for that could cause you adverse side effects or even death? I don't care how remote the chance. Think about it this way. Why didn't the govt just mandate it you were over 60 or had certain co-morbidities you had to take the vaccine? You know basically the only people dying from this virus. The COVID vaccines are not like other "forced vaccinations" like to go to school. In those cases those vaccines are sterilizing meaning you actually can't get the virus period and have decades of testing data.
