| DeSantis: Kavanaugh and Roberts lacked ‘backbone' on vaccine mandate |
| 2022-01-15 |
| [NY Post] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Supreme Court justices John Roberts and Brian Kavanaugh lacked "backbone" for not striking down the Biden administration’s health care worker vaccine mandate. In two decisions Thursday, the nation’s top court struck down the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large businesses, but upheld its mandate for most healthcare workers. Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the court’s liberal justices, upholding the the health care-worker vaccine mandate, five to four. "Honestly, Roberts and Kavanaugh did not have a backbone on that decision. That’s just the bottom line," DeSantis said on an episode of the right-leaning podcast Ruthless. DeSantis has said Florida will not enforce the healthcare-worker vaccine mandate, which he believes would sideline nurses who have natural immunity to COVID-19. The Supreme Court ruled against the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for large businesses, but upheld the mandate for healthcare workers. "In other states they fired nurses who are not vaccinated. Many of them have natural immunity from prior infections. So they’re actually bringing back to work nurses who are COVID-positive. They are vaccinated but we know that’s not stopping it ... Meanwhile the unvaccinated, likely immune from prior infection, healthy nurses are on the sidelines, fired?" DeSantis said. DeSantis claimed that Kavanaugh and Roberts "did not have a backbone on that decision." DeSantis also fired a shot at the president’s chief medical advisor, Anthony Fauci, who initially denied to Congress that the National Institutes of Health had funded gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, before later admitting and defending it. "Fauci funded them at the Wuhan lab and he lied about it. And why is he not being prosecuted for lying to Congress?" DeSantis asked. |

| #6 It is lifetime but unlike a prison sentence they can leave anytime. I predict Robert’s will bail at the tail end of Biden’s term to ‘even’ out the court. |

| #5 ^ So, lifetime appointment isn't much of an insulator from outside pressure any more. Might as well get rid of it. |

| #4 Roberts' and Kavanaugh's children have probably been threatened by this point: potential expulsion from their elite schools, no chance of admission to selective colleges etc Look at all the othe D.C. conservative cucks. They too have families, relationships, property to protect. These are America 2022's equivalent of Russian aristocrats in 1905-17. The can hear the mob assembling at their door, and behave accordingly |
