- dantheman 5y agoYep and it's done at the state level.
- jimkleiber 5y agoI haven't read the court documents...is the argument that states can make these sorts of mandates but the federal government can't? I thought some states were claiming these mandates were illegal at all levels but I can't recall.
- nkurz 5y agoThe decision seems very well written and is worth at least a skim. The section that answers your question is (f), and starts at the bottom of page 16. As I read it, the decision says that the State's definitely have the police power to mandate vaccination, and suggests that the federal government lacks this authority under the Commerce Clause (but doesn't directly claim that no other authority exists). The basic claim is that OSHA, given it's current legal authority, lacks the right to regulate "noneconomic nonactivity".
- jimkleiber 5y agoI very much appreciate you writing it out like that. I will read it over. Again, thank you
- westcort 5y agoYeah! Bring back polio because this dusty document has a tiny asterisk here that says I can. Give me a break. No original thought here…just regurgitation of whatever is on Fox News.
- westcort 5y agoWhere were you the past hundred years? Where was the outcry at the capital? What’s next, “bring back polio” signs? Got news for you. You don’t get to drink and drive, you don’t get to yell fire in a theater, and you don’t get to run red lights. Nothing new here but a bunch of cowards afraid of needles and doing anything not mandated by Fox News.
