Fifth Circuit reaffirms stay of OSHA vaccine mandate, says the agency may "take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order." dl.airtable.com/.attachments/d…
"The Mandate’s stated impetus—a purported 'emergency' that the entire globe has now endured for nearly two years, and which OSHA itself spent nearly two months responding to—is unavailing as well. And its promulgation grossly exceeds OSHA’s statutory authority."
A Ron Klain retweet gets mentioned:
"The underinclusive nature of the Mandate implies that the Mandate’s true purpose is not to enhance workplace safety, but instead to ramp up vaccine uptake by any means necessary."
"At the very least, even if the statutory language were susceptible to OSHA’s broad reading—which it is not—these serious constitutional concerns would counsel this court’s rejection of that reading."
Judge Duncan, concurring: "Whether Congress could enact such a sweeping mandate under its interstate commerce power would pose a hard question. Whether OSHA can do so does not."

One of the judges: "High school students are not exposed to images of guns on a routine basis? They're ubiquitous in our society."
Judge Sykes asks if there's a gun-free school zone sign outside the building, says if "images of firearms appear in other forms in the school, it's hard to argue that seeing it on someone's t-shirt is going to substantially disrupt the learning environment."

"This effort within The Bronx Defenders really took off because our colleague Christopher Smith had gone down to Texas, and observed firsthand just how just commonplace it was for folks to have weapons, to have guns, and for no one to bat an eyelash."
"His experience directly contrasted with our experience as public defenders in New York City, where we are seeing people engage in the exact same conduct and end up on Rikers Island."
"And a lot of the people who support criminal law reform in New York have never really squarely addressed what to do with people possessing firearms for self-defense."
