Supreme Court's Covid mandate is disgusting

 Six justices on the Supreme Court of the United States are wacko -- Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Barrett. STUPID. Federal law gives the Dept. of Labor's OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) the authority to protect workers from “grave danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards.” With over 800,000 Covid deaths, I would say that SARS-CoV-2 (Covid) is "physically harmful." Wouldn't you? The 6-3 in National Federation of Independent Business v. Dept. of Labor ruling against OSHA's mandate affecting employers with over 100 workers is senseless. And, why does OSHA have the authority to issue such a mandate? Two reasons. First, the federal government has the power under the U.S. Constitution to regulate interstate commerce. Second, Congress delegated its authority to regulate interstate commerce in the relevant area to OSHA. This case, from a legal perspective, should have been a no-brainer. Well, yeah, the no brains won.
