Supreme Court Denies Petition to Block
Indiana University’s Vaccinate Mandate

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/12/2021 6:27:17 PM

The Supreme Court denied Thursday the petition of eight Indiana University students asking to block the school’s requirement that students receive the COVID vaccine as a condition of fall enrollment. Newly confirmed conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett was charged with reviewing the legal challenge to the college’s rule and refused to block it. No other justices on the bench offered a dissenting opinion. The case originated when a group of Indiana students asked the court for an emergency order striking down the mandate, claiming that the potential harm of inoculation exceeded the merits of protection against the disease for their age demographic.

The vociferous/vehement/violent intimidation of Trump’s appointees is having a lasting effect. The left is being rewarded today for their vicious attacks during the confirmations. Means we’ll see more of that if the GOP ever gets back in the Whitehouse, which is highly doubtful.

In the Indiana University case the US Supreme Court has followed its precedent vaccination opinions. Justice Barrett followed the SC's precedents, as she promised to do during her confirmation hearing. It's a no brainer - an easy decision. "In 1905, in a case titled "Jacobson v Massachusetts," the US Supreme Court upheld the Cambridge, Mass, Board of Health’s ("state action") authority to MANDATE vaccinations against smallpox during a smallpox epidemic. It's probable there were NO vaccination opt-outs. Since around the 1960s the SC has basically followed "Jacobson" and has issued a few opinions that do not involve "state action." They are generally easier decisions as they do not involve governmental action. Based on SC precedent it's highly probable that the SC is NOT going to block any vaccination requirements as long as they do NOT act in an unreasonable, arbitrary or oppressive manner, (in the COVID-19 context - probably always including some reasonable opt-outs). By their very nature the recent vaccination cases decided by the SC are limited to a relatively meager record: pleadings, legal argument, citations, etc. There's no cross-examination, etc. The SC will summarily block Covid-19 vaccination requirements ONLY if they are clearly "on their face" unreasonable, arbitrary, and/or oppressive.

If "conservative" presidents actually believed the stuff they give lip service to they would meet one-on-one with nominees and ask them point blank if they will vote to uphold the actual constitution and defend traditional America. Ask if they will vote to overturn Roe, to uphold the Second Amendment, keep their noses out of issues that are none of their business such as marriage or sexual preference, etc. If the nominee cannot vote to do these or refuses to give a clear, unambiguous answer then drop them from consideration. Leftists know what they are likely to get because they know who teaches and what is taught in law schools and they will not consider any who give any hint they might not vote in lockstep with their agenda. Is there anyone who doubts how Kagan or Sotomayor or Breyer will come down on any issue touching on the leftist agenda? Do you think the men who nominated them and the senators who approved them had any doubts about this?

President Joe Biden is weighing vaccines mandates for interstate travel, according to the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday. “Still, while more severe [coronavirus] measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed,” the AP writes, “the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.” For the time being, the White House seems content with shaming those who are unvaccinated, while demanding private companies mandate vaccinations for their employees. For instance, Biden told churchgoers April 1, they were being ungodly if they did not become vaccinated.

Senior U.S. officials made a surprise visit to Mexico Tuesday to discuss bilateral cooperation on reducing illegal migrants crossing into the U.S. in record numbers. Notably missing from the trip was Vice President Kamala Harris, charged by President Joe Biden to work with Mexico and Central America on addressing alleged “root causes” driving migrants from Central America’s Northern Triangle (NT) countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. illegally. The White House did not provide a readout of the meeting until a day after the event.

A group of religious warriors, riding on captured American military vehicles, vanquish a US-trained military, which relinquishes much of its power without a fight. Sound familiar? That’s what happened in Iraq after the US withdrawal of troops from the country at the end of 2011. Within three years, an army of ISIS fighters was only a few miles from the gates of Baghdad and had taken many of the significant cities in Iraq. t was then-Vice President Joe Biden who had negotiated the Obama administration’s drawdown from Iraq. In 2014, after ISIS began ethnic cleansing in Iraq and murdering American journalists and aid workers, then-President Barack Obama reversed that decision

New York’s COVID Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act says that if a tenant self-certifies his or her financial hardship, landlords generally cannot contest that certification in court. Instead, the tenant is free to remain in the property without paying rent. Today, the Supreme Court lifted this particular ban on evictions. The Court did not disturb the provision in the same law that instructs New York courts to entertain a covid-related hardship defense in eviction proceedings, assessing a tenant’s income prior to covid, income during covid, liquid assets, and ability to obtain government assistance. The landlords who brought the case did not seek such relief.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Thursday that border patrol agents apprehended over 212,000 undocumented migrants in July, breaking the 200,000 threshold for the first time in 21 years, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. During a stop at the border in Texas, Mayorkas commented that 212,672 migrants were encountered in July, a 13 percent increase over the influx of 188,000 migrants encountered in June. He acknowledged that the rapidly deteriorating situation at the border constitutes a crisis, calling it “one of the toughest challenges we face.” He added that 95,788 of those detainees, mostly single adults rather than families, were expelled under Trump-era Title 42

The Pentagon is preparing for a possible evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan amid fears that the Taliban may overrun the compound in the coming days, the New York Times reported Thursday. As the militant organization makes significant gains, capturing ten provincial capitals across the country, the State Department is expected to reduce embassy staff and is considering relocating its outpost to the Kabul airport, a number of sources told CNN. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is moving marines into position to cover the evacuation of staff as intelligence reports suggest the Taliban may launch an assault within 30 days, the Times reported.

The Texas Senate voted to advance a major Republican voting bill on Thursday in an 18-11 vote, along party lines. Senate Bill 1 passed after state Senator Carol Alvarado finished a 15-hour talking filibuster in an attempt to delay the vote. Filibuster rules prohibited Albarado from eating, sitting down, leaning on her desk, taking a bathroom break or speaking about subjects unrelated to the bill. The all-night filibuster came one day after Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, signed arrest warrants for 52 Democrats who did not return during the fourth day of the House’s second special session. The Democrats’ absence left the chamber eight members short of a quorum.

Gretchen Whitmer. But Biden appeared to get confused while addressing her at one point. Despite the fact that her picture was on the screen with her name in big, bold letters, Biden still referred to her as “Jennifer” as he thanked her for the work that “you’ve done and continue to do.” It appeared that Biden confused Whitmer with the former governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm, who held that position from 2003-2011.
