The SCOTUS did no such thing. They clearly indicated such mandates might be permissible and the wisdom of the mandate wasn't the matter before the court. SCOTUS merely said the mandate cannot be enacted at the wishes of the POTUS to avoid what could be or has been addressed by the Congress. Nor can non-elected bureaucrats and Agencies enact such mandates. Even NIH does not have the authority to dictate such mandates as they go beyond any precedent of scale put forth by the legislative body and cannot be undone should the legislative process dictate a less Draconian process in the future.B.See » 14 Jan 2022, 6:05 am » wrote: ↑ In the latest COVIDIOCRACY, the conservative led SCOTUS further enables the Trump/GOP death cult by blocking vaccine mandates for many:
The Supreme Court’s decision will directly result in thousands of preventable deaths.
So the SCOTUS addressed the process by which the mandate was enacted and the nature of the mandate itself as being overly broad and beyond the level of the authority the Congress could delegate to any Agency. Such broad overreach is reserved for the People and the Congress and must be directly enacted by the Congress through public vote. Such authority must be traceable back to the People's ability to remedy the officials privilege to continue to occupy their current position.
So the SCOTUS left the door open should the Congress decide to forward legislation for the President's signature after a public vote under the auspices of the People.
SCOTUS then issued an order to the lower court instructing them the stay is to remain in place until such time as they could rule on the matter. It further instructed the lower court that should they decide to lift the stay after addressing the matter the stay would automatically be put back in place and to forward the matter to the SCOTUS itself until such time as they could address the Constitutionality of the mandate directly. In other words, SCOTUS is suggesting they rule the mandates be struck down by the lower court and is sending it back to them as a courtesy so they may rule correctly. Should they rule the mandate Constitutional the SCOTUS is clearly letting them know they will strike it down and are just trying to save them the embarrassment of being overturned should they allow the mandate.
