with no notice of public comment that they didn t have here has an affect oaive 85 million american workers and that was gorsuch s point. this should be done by congress and the state, not by nine supreme court justices and certainly not by a bureaucrat over at osha. right. i think that very true. you know, there s also, this was, this is a case of, a case of making bad law for the administration, good law for those that want to restrict agency. what people have gotta understand is that each of these blunders in court are creating law against the office that the president 40e8ds. that s why past administrations had been really quite leary about lit gating these issue ons the edges of presidential power because they didn t want not only a loss for their own administration but to bind future press s. that s why this is so reckless is that they re taking very weak arguments and creating really
case. one of the reasons is that this was what s called conditional federal spending and in their view congress gave these facilities money, and they can require a health protection as a result. they just felt that nexus was close enough. but ultimately, the, i think what is happening here with the administration is they re adding to a rather long list of losses in federal courts. you know, tay lost they lost moratorium on evictions, they were repeatedly found to have engaged in racial discrimination in the use of federal farm funds, they lost on immigration policies. these are all very significant losses for any ad mbman administration. i think it shows a bit of reckless laura: of radicalism. it show as radicalism in policy that they kind of go as radical
tried this road it ha not very well for them. ini find it interesting back during the summer of violence in 2020 when the left was sieging the white house, federal court houses, police precincts, et cetera, you had the attorney general float the idea that this might be a way to go after some of those people that were causing so much damage nationwide and there was massive uproar within the agency, and also outside the agency. it was leaked in order to squash the plan. it s very interesting now that we see the department of justice doing the very same thing that s supposedly unacceptable when rioters were going after the entire country. in general, also, the fbi has tended to infiltrate various groups or have inform informants in them and that can complicate the prosecutions as well. to molly s point, the u.s. has a full record of convicting people of su diggs. sedition. the last time prosecutors brought a case was in 2010 in an
punish anyone who deviates from the democratic party line. i hope citi and any company firing people or threatening to fire people because of their medical choices will rethink that decision. laura: are you surprised that brett kavanaugh nau went with the liberals on the healthcare workers case? are you surprised? it was a disappointing decision, laura. like i said, i m glad that the osha mandate, to coverage almost a hundred million americans was stawf stopped. the mandate korbs almost every healthcare facility in this country and i have heard from nurses and other healthcare providers across the state of arkansas they are struggling to keep their doors open, not just to care for the people that have covid in their facilities, but all the other medical conditions they have as well. people are pushing out surgical procedures that are oftentimes life-saving. i hope the administration will reconsider it. if they don t, cropping should. laura: senator, thank you. the doj has charged
as possible, they twist arms to get stuff done, and then the court has to come in and say not so fast. this is what s happened on multiple o occasions as you just said. gors gorsuch wrote a concurring opinion in the osha case. osha is not agency related public health when congress has sought to mandate vaccinations it has done so expressly. we have nothing like that here. did he nail that? he also went on to say who should decide how to respond to the pandemic? the states and congress, he said. that s really the route given how, given how the science is changing on vaccines, health safety, who can transmit, who gets infected. this is almost moot now given what we know about omicron. i think the gorsuch concurrence is the one that has the legs of all the material
