The John Roberts Supreme Court last week made an absurd ruling striking down the administration's OSHA worker protection regulations requiring large American employers to ensure that either their employees are vaccinated OR regularly tested. The reasoning for their ruling was nonsensical and had most legal experts scratching their heads to find even a grain of legitimate, legally based justification for their pronouncement. For one thing, the Court said the OSHA law was 50 years old and Congress needed to act contemporary to the event. ?????? The Constitution is over 200 years old. Should we throw that out as no longer contemporary as well? Perhaps we should. But Congress DID act contemporary to the event. They passed a law that said, basically, we gave you (OSHA) the right and responsibility to require vaccines as appropriate 50 years ago; so now use that power to develop a regulation for Covid. Roberts has pulled this kind of shit before with laws he doesn't like...like the Voting Rights Act. "Oh that law is so old. Fuggedaboutit!" Again, the Constitution...
So what we're going to do, here, is attribute every Covid death that has occurred since that ruling to Chief Justice John Roberts in a little feature we call, "How Many People Has Chief Justice John Roberts Killed So Far". I realize that the crap ruling by the Roberts Court is not responsible for every Covid death. OTOH, the Roberts Court has issued many disastrous rulings which have undoubtedly caused many deaths. And it's not an exact science anyway, as daily death totals tend to be adjusted upward after the day's total is reached (owing to uneven reporting from the states). I'm just trying to make a point. Undoubtedly, that ruling WILL cause SOME deaths. And, periodically, I'm going to continue making that point...just to put a burr under that ideologue's butt in some small way.
So...How Many People Has Chief Justice John Roberts Killed So Far?
