(RNS) On April 28, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont signed into law a bill eliminating the state’s religious exemption for mandatory school vaccinations. Three days later, a lawsuit was filed in federal court claiming the law violates the constitutional rights of three mothers Greek Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim who refuse to have their children vaccinated for religious reasons.
Does it? Long-standing Supreme Court precedents suggest otherwise.
In 1905, Jacobson v. Massachusetts upheld a state law that empowered municipalities to mandate vaccinations. Writing for the 7-2 majority, Justice John Marshall Harlan declared that “a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic of disease which threatens the safety of its members,” and concluded that the state law did not “invad(e) any right secured by the Federal Constitution.”
O2-Virgin Media boss faces biggest battle of his career
Lutz Schuler’s task to combine the two companies and deliver billions in cost savings will mean job cuts and huge technical challenges
19 April 2021 • 9:00am
Virgin Media boss Lutz Schuler is getting used to winning. Downloads on his fibre broadband network hit a record high on March 31 as gamers feasted on the latest update to Call of Duty: Warzone, the first-person shooter played by 80m people.
Such demand came just days before he survived two skirmishes of his own.
In early April, Schuler emerged victorious from a tussle with O2 chief Mark Evans to become the leader of Virgin Media and the mobile network following their £31bn mega merger. A second triumph followed last week, when the competition watchdog provisionally backed the deal, batting away concerns that it would affect service quality and increase prices.
