| Chief Justice Roberts criticizes White House for referring to Biden's vaccine mandate as a ‘workaround' |
| 2022-01-09 |
| [Republic Brief] On Friday, conservative justices questioned President Joe Biden’s vaccine requirement for businesses, as the Court heard arguments from Republican officials and businesses who want to block the policy. Justices John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch have said that states and Congress should lead the effort to combat the pandemic, rather than a federal agency. Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative justice, argued the workplace policy was too broad, affecting more than 80 million Americans. GOP-led states and business leaders brought a lawsuit against the mandate for companies with 100 or more employees as an example of federal overreach. It appears that the liberal justices sided with the Biden administration’s position that vaccinations and mandates were the best way to curb the pandemic. Roberts, however, asked U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar whether the Official Safety and Health Act of 1970 authorized the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to adopt the mandate. ’That was 50 years ago that you’re saying Congress acted. I don’t think it had COVID in mind. ’That was almost closer to the Spanish flu than it is to today’s problem,’ Roberts said, referring to the pandemic of 1918. Arguments were heard while the nation struggled with the latest wave of infections, spurred on by the highly infectious Omicron variant. |

| #7 Watch the hand you cant see. How this will work is vanguard corporations are submitting a CONFIRMATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA COVID-19 ETS document. These large national and Intl corps will require anyone doing business with them be in compliance as a condition of business. Consequently, Co's, whose legal dept's are awaiting the outcome, will be forced to establish protocols to fulfill compliance. State governing bodies, which are always equal to or more stringent than OSHA, will then require it. So you will not be forced to vaccinate, you will be forced to comply or quit your job and leave the state if you want to work. As an aside I think one reason for the illegal surge is to supplant the flight from blue states, to prevent losing electorals and red state electoral gains due to population shift. |

| #5 I don't see how the Biden administration can force vaccine mandates on the American people when at the same time, they are allowing un-vaccinated invaders to flood through our borders. This is not only illegal, it's insane. |

| #2 From the man who used the appeal system to get around the unconstitutional act of the executive and judiciary of Pennsylvania dictating the means of selecting electors rather than as explicitly stated in the document to be done by the legislature. Workaround, right. |
