From the story: “No constitutional or legal authority is given to the federal government to issue this type of mandate, and the Supreme Court should reiterate this fact quickly and without ambiguity,” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said. “When Heritage filed our lawsuit against this unconstitutional mandate, we expected the fight would ultimately end up at the U.S. Supreme Court. That day is here. This is a pivotal moment for our judicial system. The outcome of this case will have consequences far beyond a mandate over the COVID vaccine” (Washington Times).
From Alliance Defending Freedom’s Erin Hawley: While the federal government is within its right to encourage vaccine development, distribution, and inoculation, it cannot ignore constitutional protections and safeguards, even during national emergencies. That is what this federal vaccine-or-test mandate does, and why it’s unlawful (Newsweek).
the Wall Street Journal: The Court’s ruling in this case will echo into the future about how far the executive branch can go in rewriting statutes. Some Justices will be tempted to defer to the executive given the pandemic emergency. But Presidents have been increasingly eager to find emergencies whenever they are politically convenient (WSJ).
