More of their twisting of the Constitution BS. They cite a case from 1932 as if that's supposed to be some landmark. Well, I give them too much credit, they didn't cite anything they mention it. So I looked it up, it's New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann. The key question of the case was whether or not the manufacture of ice was a public utility. Yep, that sounds exactly relevant to vaccine mandates, right? That's right, because the Supreme Court decided to tell Oklahoma that ice manufacture was not a public utility in 1932, so shall glorious leader Biden be allowed to tell states to enforce vaccines.
Otherwise, same old drivel of apply interstate commerce clause to everything they possibly can like they have been doing for far too long. Add in a bit of the old nonsense about how you not wearing a mask is infringing on my right to assemble because I'm going to be killed by your face if I assemble. All the typical stuff they try to claim is "freedom."
Truman tried to use an Executive Order to seize private property, for the Korean War effort. Part of the "Provide for the Common Defense" or "Promote the General Welfare" purposes of government as outlined in the Preamble to the Constitution. Court struck Truman down, hard: President cannot make law, only Congress (checks & balances).
This is another president, Biden, trying to do the same thing: take control of private property (our bodies). Promoting the General Welfare again comes into play. However, so does Securing the Blessings of Liberty. Ultimately, the Constitution favors Liberty before all others as evidenced by contextual writings by the founding fathers. On its face, his actions are unconstitutional, in my opinion.
Finally, if a president could do as Biden is doing, why did Obama wait until after the 2010 midterm for a favorable Congress to pass the Affordable Care Act? Why not just pass an Executive Order and fulfill his campaign promise and secure his legacy? Then also, EO's are temporary. The successive president can simply nullify them as Trump did to Obama, and as Biden did to Trump.
Enacting a new emergency rule requiring employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or tested weekly is a big step in the right direction. But it isn’t nearly big enough.
Yeah, we also need to vax those murderous animals ASAP. And by that, of course I am referring to dogs, cat, pigs, horses...bats...and so on. Except the sheep -- those are already covered.
Sitting on a plane right now wishing for an airline vaccine mandate. Recalling my 2016 argument. Even if the plane ride itself were 100% safe, it distributes infected people around the world. A flight mandate would be a great incentive for vax too. https://archive.is/JbPUT
Not much respect for liberty:
Agree, but the "liberty" argument is pretty weird. "I have a right to choose" doesn't necessarily lead towards a negative choice against vaccination. Indeed, ironically if many select the negative option, we might have to override the right to choose. https://archive.is/2zcf5
You have the right to choose exactly what I tell you to choose, or we might "have to" take that away.
If one had relied on the President, who claimed COVID was a Democratic "hoax" and then that it had been "contained," which Fox News recirculated as gospel, then they might have been surprised to then see the President then declare emergency. https://archive.is/uAzLb
He also lied about Trump calling COVID a hoax...
I'm thinking that students wearing masks, but professor not wearing a mask maybe a decent balance, if we must attempt to reach in person. Sneeze guard glass is bonus. https://archive.is/q1nQ7
A 'decent balance' is where others have to wear a mask, but he doesn't.

I prefer to cite Youngstown Sheet & Tube v. Sawyer: https://www.oyez.org/cases/1940-1955/343us579

So here's a few of this idiot's tweets.
