what now?

 Vaccine mandate for large employers: Here’s what to know as SCOTUS decides its fate: How the justices rule will ultimately determine if the administration’s strategy for ending a pandemic that’s killed almost 1 million Americans must be rethought. Most Americans have already chosen to get vaccinated, but Biden has said these numbers aren’t high enough. The White House’s plan hinges on the idea that mass inoculation across all workplaces is the best way of beating COVID. “Too many people remain unvaccinated for us to get out of this pandemic for good,” Biden said in November when he announced the mandates.

Uh -Huh. Just as a point of information: The Supreme Court has been closed to the public for nearly two years because of the pandemic. Only court staff, lawyers in the cases, credentialed reporters, and justices’ law clerks are allowed to attend oral arguments, and all m must be masked and possess negative test results for Covid. (Washington Post).

 

We are to believe, from the questions asked by Conservative Justices, that a matter of personal liberties is at hand, and somehow, the Executive Branch is treading on individuals personal freedoms, by demanding proactive measures for halting the spread of COVID. The same Justices who somehow forgot to consider the personal freedoms and liberties by and for the Females of the Republic of Texas, by permitting the 6-week abortion ban to stay in effect, HAVE SUDDENLY decided that SOME PERSONAL FREEDOMS are not the same OTHER PERSONAL FREEDOMS. And if my liberties are important, why can’t people decide to sit in the Supreme Court Chambers and NOT get vaccinated?
