There was a time in our nation’s history when the Supreme Court handed down a decision, it was respected. Those days are far behind us as we witnessed how the homosexual community overturned the people’s vote of California to get same-sex marriage into law a few years ago.
Now it seems that Joe Biden will be looking for the same formula.
Is anyone surprised by that?
I didn’t think so.
The Supreme Court made its decision last Thursday that the White House’s vaccination requirement for major private companies was illegal under the Constitution.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ordered was an “emergency temporary standard,” which meant that all private businesses with 100 or more workers were expected to guarantee that their workforces were completely vaccinated against COVID-19, or else they would be subject to weekly testing. In the event that you refused to comply with the obligation, you would have been subject to penalties of $14,000 per infringement.
According to an unsigned ruling of the court, “while Congress has unquestionably granted OSHA the authority to control occupational hazards, it has not given the agency the authority to regulate public health in a more comprehensive manner.”
“Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, who were chosen solely on the basis of their employment with companies with moreover 100 workers, undoubtedly falls into the latter category,” the report said.
The president immediately started doing everything in his power to get around the ruling of the Supreme Court.

In a statement published by the White House on Thursday, Biden expressed disappointment that the broad mandate would not be maintained.
“I am unhappy that the Supreme Court has opted to strike down common-sense life-saving rules for workers of major corporations that were based on sound scientific and legal principles,” he said in a statement. Employers may demand vaccines or allow employees to decline immunizations under the terms of an emergency standard, as long as they were tested once a week and wore a mask at work, which was a very minor hardship.”
After that, the president advised states and companies to proceed as if the OSHA rule had not been overturned.
Now, it is up to the states and individual employers to make the choice if they want to implement the vaccine requirement.
It is their choice now whether their businesses will be safe for consumers, during this pandemic by requiring employees to take the simple and effective step of getting vaccinated, according to the Supreme Court’s decision.
Biden stated in a statement, “While the Court has ruled that my administration cannot use the authority granted to it by Congress to require this measure, this does not prevent me from using my voice as President to advocate for employers who are doing the right thing to protect Americans’ health and economy.”
What do you all think Biden will do now to enforce his mandate?
