Sam: Supreme Court hearing two cases on supposedly what you know is is is is considered the vaccine mandates in the vernacular. One is well they really I mean let's be honest in the most narrow sense of the word of the mandate they're not mandates. there is one case in Biden versus Missouri where a federal rule requires any hospital or health care provider receiving medicare or Medicaid funds or patients to have all of their health care workers vaccinated. Now for all intents and purposes, that's a mandate and so far is that most the vast majority of those places take medicare and Medicaid. The second is NFIB versus the department of labor which in which OSHA says that any company with a hundred or more employees has to have their employees either vaccinated or tested regularly for covid. So in other words it's a testing mandate with an exemption if you're vaccinated. so it's not a vaccine mandate. Here is Elena kagan supreme court justice questioning do we know which one is it is it which council is it or she's discussing and she is responding. To the sort of the idea that government wouldn't have the ability to issue a mandate in the context of a pandemic with the controlled and submerged disdain that you would expect from the supreme court justice. Here play this.

"Did not consider alternative measures"? Like what, thoughts and prayers?

The pro-death party just keeps rolling out the hits.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare" are the opening lines of the Constitution.

Problem with what specific lower court(s). With what judges, appointed by whom? As if we all don't know the answer.

Protecting the unvaccinated from the unvaccinated???🤔

[ComradeCatpurrnicus]

I wonder if Republicans going to fight for their "right" to not follow a "clothing mandate", having to wear clothes at work, next? These children feel so entitled to feel victimized at whatever arbitrary and intentionally politicized issue they want. A mask mandate during a pandemic is not an unreasonable request or an infringement on your personal liberties.

I would ask if Kavanaugh will relinquish his right to regulate the court’s work place, because freedom.

See how's Shay's Rebellion scared the Founders into giving more powers to the Federal government!! Extremely interesting!!!

[Eyeinthesky]

This shows there is a problem with the lower courts?

[lancelotdsouza]

It does not matter what arguments are presented by the government, you have a conservative majority in the Supreme Court

[OAlem]

I think you should look at all the alternatives to the earth being a sphere.

Uh, oh….That New Yorker is stirred up in the lady.

[justman]

Go ahead and mandate it and its Kazakhstan next day

The problem is that risk is inherently heterogeneous. So that lawyer works in some cushy office and does not come into contact with so many people. That lawyer may be biologically more resistant to the virus. That lawyer can afford plasma treatment or other expensive treatment. So how can he get it that other people are at greater risk and need more drastic measures to be

[biloki]

I wonder what Republicans are going to do when they realize there are other vaccines they need to have as well??

[annefitz]

You go girl. Bravo. As a health care provider I don’t know why people want to risk their health or even die !!! But they sure want treatment when they get sick !!! It’s an extraordinary situation. Do you really want people who pack your food unvaccinated???

[deglinguee]

Lol bro did you lose... hilarious... i feel like the supreme court also ruled ur bougey dad now has to buy me a mercedes or something... ya man... is on the books... go look it up 4 eyes.

[uncomfortabletruth]

So who is paying for the weekly testing if they opt out of vaccinations?

[dyscotopia]

I support vaccines, masks, and testing mandates, but I would say to Justice Kagan that climate change is a bigger public health threat than covid. Why aren't we acting with similar urgency on that?

[fabienmerteuil]

There’s that argument again take that to the midterm campaigns, “we need to “protect” the vaccinated from the unvaccinated” and see what happens..🤣🤣
