January 13, 20223 yr 27 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: That's basically what they're implying... "In that statutory subsection, Congress authorized OSHA to issue "emergency” regulations upon determining that "employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful” and "that such emergency standard and are necessary to protect employees from such danger” According to the agency, this provision supplies it with "almost unlimited discretion” to mandate new nationwide rules in response to the pandemic so long as those rules are "reasonably related” to workplace safety. 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, 61405 (2021) (internal quotation marks omitted). The Court rightly applies the major questions doctrine and concludes that this lone statutory subsection does not clearly authorize OSHA’s mandate. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OPINION (if you disagree, I suggest you review the dissent) Such standards must be "reasonably necessary or appropriate to provide safe or healthful employment.” §652(8) (emphasis added). They must also be developed using a rigorous process that includes notice, comment, and an opportunity fora public hearing. §655(b). Emergency temporary standards are only allowed in "the narrowest of circumstances: the Secretary must show (1) "that employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards,” and (2) that the "emergency standard is necessary to protect employees from such danger.”" Applicants are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Secretary lacked authority to impose the mandate. Administrative agencies are creatures of statute.They accordingly possess only the authority that Congress has provided. The Secretary has ordered 84 million Americans to either obtain a COVID–19 vaccine or undergoweekly medical testing at their own expense. This is no "everyday exercise of federal power.” In re MCP No. 165, 20 F. 4th, at 272 (Sutton, C. J., dissenting). It is instead a significant encroachment into the lives—and health—of a vast number of employees. "We expect Congress to speak clearly when authorizing an agency to exercise powers of vast economic and political significance.” Alabama Assn. of Realtors v. Department of Health and Human Servs., 594 U. S. ___, ___ (2021) The question, then, is whether the Act [OSHA] plainly authorizes the Secretary’s mandate. It does not. The Act empowers the Secretary to set workplace safety standards, not broad public health measures. It is telling that OSHA, in its half century of existence, has never before adopted a broad public health regulation of this kind—addressing a threat that is untethered, in any causal sense, from the workplace. This "lack of historical precedent,” coupled with the breadth of authority that the Secretary now claims, is a "telling indication” that the mandate extends beyond the agency’s legitimate reach. The equities do not justify withholding interim relief. We are told by the States and the employers that OSHA’s mandate will force them to incur billions of dollars in unrecoverable compliance costs and will cause hundreds of thousands of employees to leave their jobs. Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly. Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category.

January 13, 20223 yr Our local Fox affiliate showed a story on the news, of doctors and nurses stating that there are more patients then available beds and that they are full of unvaccinated Covid Patients who are suffering with severe symptoms. This is the real problem. The unvaccinated are keeping Covid alive.

It's definitely Biden's fault idiots are refusing to take a life saving vaccine. This logic is sound and indisputable. All of the deaths from 2020 were from the unvaccinated. Your point has nothing to do with my point, or his really, so go bite someone else’s ankles.

That doesn't change the fact that the number of deaths attributed to Covid through around mid-March was a tiny trickle. Statistically insignificant. As a nation we weren't dealing with the pandemic in any real way until mid-March. My wife was in Puerto Rico the first week of March for a conference. The week before we ended up at the hospital. We were there only people in the emergency room and were in and out inside 90 minutes. As a public health crisis about 80% of 2020 was impacted by Covid.
