Much to the chagrin of our resident despot Tony “I am the science” Fauci, the Supreme Court has struck down Biden’s vaccine mandate which would have used OSHA to force companies employing more than 100 people to force vaccinations on employees.
The mandate was met with strong opposition from private employers with some, like The Daily Wire, filing lawsuits almost immediately after it was announced.
The mandate was previously blocked by a lower court in response to another lawsuit filed on behalf of several states which argued the mandate was gross "unconstitutional overreach." It would seem the SCOTUS has agreed.
In a 6-3 decision: “OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought. Should the petitions for writs of certiorari be denied, this order shall terminate automatically. In the event the petitions for writs of certiorari are granted, the order shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court."
- Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Gorsuch suggested the pandemic would best be handled by the states or Congress.
- Justices Amy Coney Barrett critiqued the broadness of the mandate.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh, given the economic and political stakes, posited that the governing statute did not provide clear authority for such a broad mandate.
While other countries continue to devolve into the worst examples of authoritarianism that the world has seen in over half of a century, the United States manages to beat the totalitarian monster back, if only slightly and for a short while.
The Biden Administration and Democrats, more broadly, are certainly already brainstorming the next way by which they will wrest liberty away from Americans. This is no time to rest on our laurels, ladies and gentlemen. Make no mistake: this fight isn’t over—not even close.
