By a 6-3 vote, with liberal justices in dissent, the supreme court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a vaccine-or-testing mandate for large employers.
The supreme court concluded that permitting Osha to regulate here “would significantly expand Osha’s regulatory authority” without clear congressional authorization. The Republican-appointed majority of the supreme court is intent on gutting the authority of regulatory agencies to interpret federal laws.
Their target is the so-called “Chevron deference”, a 38-year-old precedent holding that courts should respect agency interpretations of laws enacted by Congress, even if Congress has not directly spoken to the precise issue at hand. Judicial deference is appropriate if the agency interpretation is reasonable… By ruling otherwise, the supreme court’s conservative majority today signals it’s willing to strike down hundreds of regulations protecting the health and safety of Americans.

I find it quite interesting (and disgusting) HOW, in the USUAL Republican manner of PARTISIANSHIP these SUPREMES identifying as Conservatives, seem oblivious to the health and welfare of the average American, AND how these same SUPREMES, have no concern that their rulings are mired in the muck of HYPOCRISY!
So it seems that the SUPREMES want less control and power by Federal Government Agencies because those agency bureaucrats WERE NOT ELECTED by the people…YET each and every member of the SUPREMES has NOT been elected by the people. I find it disturbing that somehow the quality of lives, the earning of livelihoods is just a “TOO BAD, DUDE, like it or leave it, COVID, like SHIT, HAPPENS, GET OVER YOURSELF!” Somehow CONSERVATISM never cares for the public welfare at large, but ALWAYS and EVER concerns itself with a Woman’s Reproductive Health and seems to DESIRE to control HER!
