Hey, it's Jeremy Boren, co-CEO and God King of The Daily Wire.
00:00:08.320
In fact, over a million of you signed our petition saying as much.
00:00:12.020
And today, together, we kick the government's ass.
00:00:15.120
Today, the Supreme Court decided, by a huge majority of 6-3, to stay the Biden administration's
00:00:20.520
unconstitutional private employer vaccine mandate.
00:00:24.120
It's just a tremendous day for the American people, and a tremendous day for the founding
00:00:27.680
idea that this is a limited government of enumerated powers which exist to protect, not erode,
00:00:35.560
More, the court stay will prevail even if the Sixth Circuit somehow rules in favor of the
00:00:43.100
This spells all but certain doom for OSHA's unimaginable overreach into the private health
00:00:47.320
decisions of some 85 million Americans whose only crime is having a job at a company with
00:00:54.480
According to the order, the Supreme Court said, quote, although COVID-19 is a risk that occurs
00:00:59.520
in many workplaces, it's not an occupational hazard in most.
00:01:03.680
COVID-19 can and does spread at home, in schools, during sporting events, and everywhere else
00:01:10.140
That kind of universal risk is no different from the day-to-day dangers that all face,
00:01:14.880
from crime, air pollution, or any number of communicable diseases.
00:01:18.900
Permitting OSHA to regulate the hazards of daily life simply because most Americans have jobs
00:01:23.660
and face those same risks while on the clock would significantly expand OSHA's regulatory
00:01:28.140
authority without clear congressional authorization.
00:01:30.860
If the whole thing is just that good, you really have to read every word.
00:01:34.860
The order further states, quote, although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate
00:01:40.220
occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health
00:01:45.340
Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers
00:01:50.540
with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category.
00:01:58.540
It means the complainants, beginning with the Daily Wire, who brought the first in the
00:02:02.540
nation lawsuit against the mandate, and the nearly 60 other complainants, including the
00:02:07.020
Federation of Independent Business and a coalition of states who are invited to give oral arguments
00:02:11.340
before the court, have prevailed in our application for injunctive relief.
00:02:15.900
And it means that for today, and very likely forever, Joe Biden's attempt to turn private
00:02:20.700
employers into the enforcement arm of his federal vaccination scheme will not be implemented.
00:02:26.620
The scope of just how badly we beat the bastards is hard to overemphasize.
00:02:31.260
Writing in concurrence with the order, Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito point out that had OSHA's
00:02:36.780
rule been allowed to stand, quote, the law would afford OSHA almost unlimited discretion.
00:02:43.260
Says the concurring opinion, quote, the question before us is not how to respond to the pandemic,
00:02:48.620
but who holds the power to do so? The answer is clear. Under the law as it stands today,
00:02:53.980
that power rests with the states and Congress, not OSHA. If the court were to grant such emergency
00:03:00.140
powers, say the justices, declaration of emergencies would never end, and the liberties our
00:03:04.620
Constitution's separation of powers seek to preserve would amount to little. Total victory. Not
00:03:11.020
just for the millions of Americans who've exercised their right not to be vaccinated,
00:03:15.020
but the millions more who oppose the tyranny of this mandate, regardless of their vaccine status.
00:03:20.540
And utter defeat for the Biden government, which sought to enforce its will on the American people,
00:03:26.380
literally into the veins of the American people, at threat of financial ruin,
00:03:30.780
just because they're convinced that they know better than you do.
00:03:33.820
Drink their tears, my friends, and enjoy your freedom. By the grace of God, you still have it.
