Summary
“Acting outside of its competence and without legal basis, the Court displaces the judgments of the Government officials given the responsibility to respond to workplace health emergencies,” Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a joint dissent.President Joe Biden said he was “disappointed that the Supreme Court has chosen to block common-sense life-saving requirements for employees at large businesses that were grounded squarely in both science and the law.”Biden called on businesses to institute their own vaccination requirements, noting that a third of Fortune 100 companies already have done so.When crafting the OSHA rule, White House officials always anticipated legal challenges — and privately some harbored doubts that it could withstand them.
