in any event, there can be no doubt that addressing infection problems in medicare and medicaid facilities is what he does. this is a mandate that goes into effect for health care workers who work at facilities that receive federal funding through medicaid and medicare, and that is why the supreme court is giving this a green light saying it s different than that other mandate, saying the other mandate, osha doesn t have the broad power as an agency to put this into effect. guys, a little bit of a split verdict, if you will, for the biden administration, but definitely a much bigger loss because they wanted this mandate with employers to go into effect of 80,000 workers. joan biskupic, 6-3 on both of these. where do you see the justice landed on this?
to me approach, the recent abortion ruling, seemed to indicate a lack of knowledge of the real world of health and safety measures or in the case of the abortion case, of how abortion works, to put it bluntly. yeah, that line is a really important one because they are actually responding to a theme in the majority opinion, which is this isn t about policy. we don t decide what the rules are. it s about who gets to decide. what they are saying is is states can order mandates, but they don t want the federal government to order mandates. they think that osha doesn t have the authority to issue this mandate. they make a distinction between workplace rules that are unique to the workplace and rules that might apply to the general population. but what the it points out is that s nonsense. osha has other rules that are hazards that apply to the general population.
authority? this is the problem. the government does not have the authority to do a federal national vaccine mandate. chief of staff ron claimed a mitted this is the ultimate workaround to find a way to bootstrap their way in. it is in fact a huge power grab. osha doesn t have the authority. they are job to do work place safety, mandating hard-hats or mandating respirators, working g with chemicals in the air, not like vaccine mandate. like the moratorium the government tried to overstep its authority, the supreme court batted that one down and you think it will do the same thing here. will: alfredo, talk about the impact on businesses. take it in a microcosm and take it at a nationwide level because new york city is employing something even more generous, i assume we ll see a exodus in new york city. tell me an impact that has on an entire nation, an entire country of businesses. well, thank you.
the president can t order osha to force people to choose between their jobs or get a vaccine. osha doesn t have that authority. given to them by congress. so it is very clear to me that they have no authority to do this and we will win. ken and mark you, stepped up in the states of texas and arizona. happy thanksgiving. appreciate your time. up next why the woke mob says your kids need to be fast eaters this thanksgiving. brian kilmeade will join us with reaction. ian kilmeade will joinh reaction.
