Supreme Court Wants Workers Dead

Posted on by Thor

On January 13, 2022 the Supreme Court blocked president Joe Biden  from enforcing a sweeping vaccine-or-test requirements for large private companies. The mandate required that workers at businesses with 100 or more employees get vaccinated or submit a negative Covid test weekly to enter the workplace. It also required unvaccinated workers to wear masks indoors at work

The rulings came three days after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) emergency measure for businesses started to take effect.

Liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, writing that the majority has usurped the power of Congress, the president and OSHA without legal basis. “In the face of a still-raging pandemic, this Court tells the agency charged with protecting worker safety that it may not do so in all the workplaces needed,” they said in their dissent. “As disease and death continue to mount, this Court tells the agency that it cannot respond in the most effective way possible. Without legal basis, the Court usurps a decision that rightfully belongs to others. It undercuts the capacity of the responsible federal officials, acting well within the scope of their authority, to protect American workers from grave danger,” they wrote.

President Joe Biden, in a statement, said the Supreme Court chose to block requirements that are life-saving for workers. Biden called on states and businesses to step up and voluntarily institute vaccination requirements to protect workers, customers and the broader community.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has decided it is time to get the hell out of dodge. He is retiring.

Brett Kavanaugh Tests Positive for COVID-19

Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh tested positive for COVID-19 just days before the justices were set to return to the courtroom to begin a new term, the court announced October 1, 2021. This is a breakthrough case since all Supreme Court justices have been vaccinated since January 2021. He is not experiencing any symptoms.

He was informed on September 30, 2021 ahead of a ceremonial swearing-in for Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett set for on October 1, 2021. Court officials said Kavanaugh, 56, would not attend Barrett’s investiture ceremony. Kavanaugh will participate in next week’s oral arguments remotely from home.

The Supreme Court announced in September 2021 that it would conduct oral arguments in person starting October 4, 2021 after more than a year in which COVID-19 forced them to debate their docket virtually. The return to the courtroom will be limited to the justices, attorneys and journalists as the court’s building remains closed to the public.

Amy Coney Barrett tested positive for COVID-19 last year before she was confirmed, The Washington Post reported at the time.

Kavanaugh underwent a contentious confirmation process in which a a handful of women accused him of sexual misconduct despite his fervent denials. Comedian Steve Hofstetter apparently alluded to the Kavanaugh accusers, saying the justice “has no problem with something entering someone’s body without their permission.”
