--- Quote ---WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has stopped the Biden administration from enforcing a requirement that employees at large businesses be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing and wear a mask on the job.

At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S.

The court’s orders Thursday during a spike in coronavirus cases was a mixed bag for the administration’s efforts to boost the vaccination rate among Americans.

The court's conservative majority concluded the administration overstepped its authority by seeking to impose the vaccine-or-test rule on U.S. businesses with at least 100 employees. More than 80 million people would have been affected.

Kinda hard to believe that RINO Roberts voted with the conservatives. He doesn't have that reputation, but then again look who put him there -- none other than the Prince of RINOs, George W. Bush.

Businesses React to Ruling Against Biden Vaccine Mandate

Not much reaction from large corporations, per the article. Anecdotally, my own employer (I work strictly part-time and remotely) has a "wait and see" policy right now. I'm cautiously optimistic they won't go down the mandate trail as a condition of employment, but if they get stupid and do that along with the booster, that's when I tell 'em to pound sand.

Link only, because it's an AP article and is copyrighted.

SVPete:
The ruling blocks imposition of the mandate while it is wending its way through the courts. Hypothetically at least, it could be upheld when it finally gets appealed to the Supreme Court (it almost certainly will be appealed to the USSC). Because it was blocked rather than allowed to go into force during the litigation, it probably would not be upheld, though.
