The "constitutional principles" people like her claim to hold were engineered by conservative think tanks and right-wing interests. (Koch Bros types) Here's an idea: Ban vaccine mandates for all corporations and large companies over some number of employees or annual income, all of which probably get some kind of subsidies or know how to game the system to get tax breaks. Let small businesses, or "mom and pop" stores discriminate and hire whoever they want. Noem can set the definition of "large company" to whatever she feels is reasonable.

If she'll make that completely legal distinction and stand up for employee rights, I'm willing to call her constitutionally principled.

If not, it's because she's getting corporate campaign contributions. Or more likely the GOP getting them is why such a law will never be proposed in the first place.
