Well if there's one thing I've learned from /s/politics this morning, seems that Republican governors want to criticise Biden and new vaccine requirements. It's interesting that the governors have arranged similar press releases, with very similar information, at the same time. The coordination of these attacks/disagreements is very interesting (even if they are justified or if one thinks they're not justified), and it helps to have them here on the sub.

And: "we will fight them to the gates of hell". Really? Because of a vaccine? Seems like a veiled threat for violent revolt, from the position of a church pulpit. I hope it's apparent here that the Church/Religion is being used politically in this case to incite "a fight" against politicians who support medical and social responsibility. If in this case we don't want to separate church and state (per the 1st amendment), which immortal being truly wants us to spread COVID19?

    Yes, this mandate can seem to be unconstitutional. More info:

    Jamal Greene, an expert on constitutional law at Columbia Law School, points out that Biden's vaccine mandate [is not particularly restrictive]:

    Part of the problem is discussed here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9978181/How-impacted-Bidens-vaccine-mandate-Inside-new-rules-100-million-Americans.html

    Biden's mandate is less restrictive than the aforementioned rule [Jacobson court case, 1905] because it allows workers to opt out of vaccination and instead get weekly COVID tests.

    If the GOP want this to go to the Supreme Court, they have political hacks in place at the Court to reconsider the Jacobson ruling of 1905, but this would not have an impact on the Biden Admin, because people can avoid taking the vaccine, as long as they take the tests. There aren't laws against testing.

    You post to propaganda sites just as much as other saidit users. Her views are an opinion, nothing more. The Supreme Court judges, who are supposed to be some of the best minds in law, they don't even agree on everything. Their views are just opinions, but with more ramifications.

    No. None of this is at issue. Leave me alone.

    None of what she says is at issue. What is at issue are topics that you will ignore time and time again. If Biden got up on stage and admitted to all of the lies, would you call it a GOP plot to take down the Left?

    No.

    The discussion is about the US Constitution and the law and Biden's potential abuse of both. It's not about: "but that's just an opinion, so nah!" Jesus Christ. Leave me alone.

    Lol, it is just an opinion though.
