Those are states laws. Generally when someone says Unconstitutional without a state qualification they mean Federal Government.

- cies 5y agoThat's what I meant, the basic ones like.. right to privacy, freedom of assembly, bodily autonomy.
- klyrs 5y agoThat's a rather pointless quibble. State laws that violate the constitution are challenged as unconstitutional, and overturned on that basis. There were antivaxers when the Smallpox virus was rampant. Smallpox is gone, because of vaccine mandates. Public schools require a whole panel of vaccines, both of their employees and students. Until now, that hasn't been seen to violate the constitution. But now, there's a supermajority in the Supreme Court, so really, who knows what the constitution says?
