Supreme Court blocks workplace vaccine requirements, allows requirement for health-care workers
Source: Washington Post

The Supreme Court on Thursday stopped the Biden administration’s vaccination-or-testing requirement on the nation’s largest employers, expressing doubt that there is legal authority for such a broad mandate.

But the court allowed a different policy, which requires vaccinations for most health-care workers at the facilities that receive Medicaid and Medicare funds.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh were the only members of the court in the majority of both orders.

The White House said the order covered about 17 million health-care workers, while the requirement on large companies would have covered more than 80 million employees, about two-thirds of the American workforce

5. Ah yes, our beloved Supreme Court,

Our fantastic SC allowed Trump to ban Muslims into the country because its reasoning was that a principal duty of a president is to protect the people from harm.

I guess protecting them from real harm and not perceived harm are 2 different things.

Trump didn't ban ALL muslims, just muslims from terrorist countries who wish to kill us.

Ah yes, the famous """""""muslim ban""""""" that didn't affect, like, 90% of the world's muslims.

I see the DUmp's resident Clerk-Typist is still pretending to understand legal issues.

She should have someone read the decision and explain it to her, preferably using small words and pictures.

If I'm not mistaken, the countries banned were a list carried over that originated in the obama administration.

Hmmmmmmm. No mention from the primitives that the whole thing was un-Constitutional. Just the typical anger of a Dem prez not getting their way 100% of the time all the time. You know, like a dictator.

No doubt fat, stupid, attorney Kyle is upset, which is a full acknowledgement that it was the right decision since he has no understanding of the law.

Hmmm, would you mind repeating that in its original Russian?

16. Those voter suppression/discrimination laws that the GQP has passed, which are being challenged in the courts by Marc Elias, anyone want to bet that this SC rules that states have an absolute right to run their own elections?

You mean like the 10th Amendment says? Color me shocked that a leftist would completely disregard any portion of the Bill of Rights.

I actually agree with the DUmbass except the fascists are the people they support. They're just too blind, deaf and dumb to realise this fact.

[DLR Pyro]

does this mean that anyone who was fired for non vaccination compliance will get reinstated?

...with back pay?

My understanding is that the mandate cannot be enforced while it is wending its way through the courts. Suffice it to say that the ruling does not bode well for the mandate should the lower courts uphold it and the mandate gets appealed to the USSC (which it probably will be, regardless of the lower courts' rulings).

If the mandate was never in force this ruling would not affect employees whose employers, on their own accord, imposed mandatory vax on their employees. It might persuade such employers to consider greater flexibility.

[USA4ME]

Given the current job market, I would think that employers who tried to impose the vax on its employees might find themselves at a disadvantage to those employers who didn’t. I suppose the exception would be if you had an employee who wants their employer to be authoritarian, but I’m guessing that’s the exception to the rule.

Amazing how they think the federal government can administrate COVID into non-existence.

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.  The Left, especially the moonbats who don't want to think for themselves and the proggies who believe they know exactly what everyone should be thinking, worship at the altar of Almighty Government, and hold firm that with enough faith and donations (voluntary or forced), their deity will answer all their prayers.

That's because the Feds and the people that support them are too stupid to realize that covid, in one variant or another, is with us forever now and will not be eradicated completely. As with the flu, yearly booster shots for the latest covid variant are hear to stay.
