Supreme Court: This will get the government mandates (all of them) to SCOTUS, The "mandate" is unconstitutional in that it infringes on both individual liberties and usurps States rights.
-
If this won't wake people up, nothing will.
-
Big Business will be on the front lines in this fight, no matter which side they take.
-
This forces would-be tyrants to out themselves.
-
This will show the TRUE number of vaccinated in the country and I believe it is a whole lot less then the "official" number they're claiming.
-
This could actually SOLVE labor shortages for small businesses that are not following the mandate.
-
Unions representing big parts of the federal gov workforce are already preparing lawsuits to fight this, including those that represent federal law enforcement officers. Fed. LEO are now aligning with personal freedom where they SHOULD have been all along.
-
If mandate is ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS, that should give a path for military members to fight this as well.
Edit: Thought of another one.
- FDA and CDC will now be mandated to take their own poison - many of them (50% unvaxxed as of a month or so ago). Maybe some whistle-blowers will emerge now that the vax is mandated for them too.
So, in summary: Big Business will be fighting this, Unions will be fighting this, States will be fighting this, and most importantly civil liberties groups should be fighting this on behalf of individuals. HOLD THE LINE PATRIOTS!!!
Just a thought and not to be a doomer just a realist and telling you what has ACTUALLY happened decade over decade in California:
If all of these unions and law-enforcement officers and anybody can get an exemption carved out for themselves so that they become more equal than the rest of us; that is 100% what they will do.
Do not think for a single second of any of these thugs are on the side of "personal freedom" as OP stated.
Again; just look at California gun laws; a not insignificant # of cops are into guns. Not all nor most; but a decent chunk.
The ONLY way that a LOT of gun laws have passed in CA is by carving out LEO EXEMPTIONS.
ELI5 = Cops & their unions drop opposition to new gun control and/or start to support it once it gets written into the bill that COPS ARE EXEMPT FROM IT.
THUS creating a new class of animals who are more equal than others.....
I can pretty much bet the farm that is what is going to happen with these mandates.
Do not for a second get lulled into the rainbow & unicorn fantasy thinking that suddenly these jackbooted thugs are on the "side of personal freedom" with us.
I see your point but comparing gun carve out for LEO to vax-exemptions seems a stretch. To lefties, guns for cops make sense because they need the guns to protect the lefties who disarm themselves willingly.. How do lefties justify LEO not getting a vaccine though? Or a postal worker who handles their mail? I really want to hear your thoughts on this.
A more likely scenario is that the unions will use this as a bargaining tool to milk more money because the mandate was not negotiated with them first.
I'll try to post more later but the point I was trying to make is that someone stated "oh, good! Federal LEO's are gonna get on OUR side; the side of personal freedom because they don't want the shot!"
My point was; that's most likely NOT the case.
Also; you aren't serious about guns, right? The left are the ones pushing the defund and disarm police....
That's literally what all these manufactured race riots & Bolshevik Lives Matter bullshit is about is some colored criminal getting SHOT by the cops; lefties want to disarm the police too, just like they are in UK.
MSM and liberal elites are pushing the defund the police - go talk to people that live in places where that has happened for their opinion on the matter. The liberal elite and MSM want to defund the police because they fear justice - you'll notice they have their own armed security though.
