So it begins, how many other retarded blue states will follow them off the cliff? They must know how the Scotus is going to rule and are doing their own thing. >**Effective immediately, new rules filed by the Illinois Department of Labor on Friday adopt federal vaccine and testing mandates on employers of more than 100 employees**. . >**The state agency’s website said the final rules are not open to appeal or challenge and adopt the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration's COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard.** I believe anything can be challenged or appealed in court. >**“These Rules are effective immediately**, but give employers under the jurisdiction of Illinois OSHA until January 24 to begin to come into compliance with the requirements of the Emergency Temporary Standard by developing a workplace policy regarding vaccination and testing in accordance with the ETS,” the IDOL website said. . >**Justice Elena Kagan pointed to the severity of the virus and also argued that the mandate policy is politically accountable through the president, and that voters can elect a new president to overturn it if they don't like it**. Biden's first term ends in January 2025. But I thought the federal ohsa mandate didn’t have anything to do with the president and was all about safety. >**“[The liberal justices] seemed unaware that the vaccines appear relatively ineffective at stopping transmission, and drastically overstated the danger the virus poses to children,” Younes said**. “These factual misunderstandings should not serve as the basis of any legal determination." They’re clowns, even the press can’t defend their stupidity. >A ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court could happen at any time because of the request for a stay ahead of the enforcement deadline. It remains unclear, though, when the ruling will be handed down. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with individual states.
