One View Of Why the Biden COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate is Unconstitutional

Excerpt:
"The legality of the vaccine mandate will be assessed under what is called the major rules doctrine (also known as the major questions doctrine). Under this doctrine, the courts look to (1) whether the agency action is a major rule; and (2) whether Congress has clearly authorized the agency action.

As Justice Scalia stated in 2014, “We expect congress to speak clearly if it wishes to assign to an agency decisions of vast ‘economic and political significance.’”

From here we turn to the first question of the major rules doctrine: there is zero doubt that it is a major rule. It would affect the healthcare decisions – and implicate the personal autonomy – of “some 80 million private sector workers.” It is an action never before taken by OSHA, the Department of Labor, and any other federal agency. It would affect the entire US economy.

In support of my position, we have seen lesser invasive agency rules be determined to be major rules. For example, “rate-regulations” of telephone companies has been held to be a major rule. MCI Telecommunications Corp. v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co., 512 U.S. 218 (1994).

From there we get to the second question: whether Congress has clearly authorized the Department of Labor/OSHA to mandate vaccines. The answer is no.

If Congress clearly authorized (not just authorized, but clearly authorized) Labor/OSHA to mandate vaccines, then we would have seen such authority in the OSH Act of 1970. Look for yourself – the language isn’t there. Instead, there are general grants of authority to “set mandatory occupational safety and health standards.”

Looking to the history of OSHA, this authority has been understood to regulate employer actions to provide a safe workplace (Benzene limits) or employee actions at work (operation of heavy equipment). The OSH Act has never been understood historically to include mandatory vaccinations. This is significant because the Supreme Court recently looked to agency history to determine the CDC lacked the authority to issue its latest eviction mandate."

    It would also seem to me at least that if Congress had "clearly authorized" these vaccines, they would have already mandated OTHER vaccines, even though these injections are clearly NOT vaccines. While there may be an occasional requirement in some industries for certain vaccines, I can think of none so sweeping. In fact, when I worked for the school system, I had to take a TB TEST, not a vaccine or other treatment. Presumably if my test had come back TB positive, I'd have been required to treat and not gotten the job. (I am not even sure there is a vaccine for TB - oh yes, there is one but it's not widely used in the US and where it is used it's used in infants and small children.)

    All of which to say: there will be some people who make it their life's work to FIND a way to twist any vaccine requirement into a mandate for THIS faux "vaccine."

    Really great post FFA. This has gone far enough. It is time for us to scream, ''We're not going to take this any more." Other times in our history, back to George Washington vaccination mandates have been issued. But our ancestors had the choice. They were cautioned they didn't have the right to expose others to Smallpox or Measles. I recall seeing Quarantine signs on residences doors. People were responsible not careless. And, we all survived.

    "Occupational" is that which is directly associated with the "work" being performed within a facility. OSHA cannot tell me to wear a seat belt on my fork lift or even to "guard" me from my machinery.
    I never employed, intentionally, the number of people to fall under their "administration". And on three occasions have challenged "inspectors" with trespass if they did not remove themselves from my property immediately.

    The enslavers come in the form of rescue.

    and now for a company to demand that we inject stuff into our bodies
    we are not slaves
    they do not own us
    and it is clearly an il-legal work requirement
    it has no bearing on how we perform our job
