Supreme Court has docketed eight emergency applications seeking to block Biden's OSHA workplace vaccine mandate
Unclear if that is all of them or whether there will be more. Docketed at 21A243-21A250
Supreme Court has asked Biden administration to file a response by Dec. 30. Challengers have asked for an administrative stay but no word on that
These cases reach the Supreme Court as the Omicron variant surges and some are still resisting getting vaccinated. More than 800,000 Americans have died as a result of COVID-19
OSHA has said it will not issue any citations related to its order before Jan 10 and will not take any action on noncompliance with the testing requirement before Feb 9

Supreme Court has now docketed a 9th OSHA vaccine mandate or test challenge (21A251)
And two more OSHA challengers have filed: (21A252, 21A258)
That makes 11 I'm aware of
And another (12 now)
Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, files 13th emergency petition at Supreme Court seeking to block vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers
Latest OSHA vaccine-or-test mandate challenger at SCOTUS (14th by my count) is Christian-owned company that employs 300 people. Majority owner says he shouldn't be forced to require employees to get vaccinated because of his religious objection to how vaccines were developed
(This objection is based on the fact that cells grown in labs used to test vaccines were descended from an aborted fetus obtained decades ago. Aborted fetal cells are not in the vaccines themselves, per Reuters factcheck)

BREAKING: Supreme Court says it will hear oral arguments Jan 7 over Biden vaccine mandates for large employers & healthcare workers
The court has delayed a decision on whether to allow both policies to go into effect nationwide (one is currently in effect in full and the other blocked in half the states)
Presumably the court will then issue quick decisions on whether the mandates can apply nationwide
Never had a proper viral tweet before so this was a new experience
It all came about when I saw a tweet from @HanksKendyl with a link to the YouTube clip. I thought I would make it easier for people to view on Twitter without having to click on the link by making my own copy and posting it directly to Twitter. Seemed to work
Today, the conservative-majority Supreme Court will consider gutting abortion rights: reuters.com/world/us/us-su…
Here’s background on the case before the justices, on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, which clearly falls foul of Roe v Wade’s core finding that women have a right to abortion before viability (generally starting around 24 weeks)
49-year-old Amy Coney Barrett, the youngest member of the Supreme Court, was six days short of her first birthday when Roe v. Wade was decided on January 22, 1973
(and Barrett wasn't born when Roe was first argued in December 1971. The court then reargued the case in October 1972 before issuing the ruling)
Barrett in 2006 signed on to an advertisement in an Indiana newspaper calling for Roe v. Wade to be overturned reuters.com/article/us-usa…
