Alito is really playing fast and loose with words. OSHA’s mandate applies to all employees. It just so happens that a significant portion of the population has already complied. It’s like saying speed limits only regulate those people who drive at excessive rates of speed.

Before covid, nobody used or had heard of zoom. Now everyone uses zoom and covid’s everywhere…

Hey supremes, can we all get this, where everyone entering our workplace has to test negative, or is removed at gunpoint?

There’s nothing wrong with the Supreme Court that four or five first-class post-Covid funerals wouldn’t fix.

I don’t see how they make clear what is so objectionable about this vaccine, when vaccines have been a commonplace in this culture for decades. As someone pointed out, the fix is in, i guess, the only question being how they will justify their decision.

I forget, where did Thomas and Alito get their medical degrees? And did Kavanaugh ever pass high school biology?

That’s not how they keep score. It’s who gets the most complaints about typos or style manual errors.

A miss is as good as a mile. In this case it was RBG and too many days before Biden could assume power.

I am deeply sorry…for all of us. This is when ideology not only is senseless, but also harmful to innocents.

Jaysus, these people are not pro-life. The so-called conservatives are, every person for themselves - kind of a Road Warriors movie mentality.

Can the government require seatbelts or is that too “controlling”? What about that people working on high scaffolds have tethers? That construction workers wear hard hats? That’s clearly only to protect the worker, not others.

And what about bans on commercial pilots ingesting tons of hallucigens?
