Kegger Kavanaugh & the Handmaiden side w/ liberal justices, decline to block Maine's vaccine mandate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a ruling Friday, the Supreme Court declined to block Maine from requiring vaccine mandates for healthcare workers who object on religious grounds.

Maine requires all healthcare workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and does not grant religious exemptions.

A group of healthcare workers sought an emergency order from the Supreme Court that would block the requirement for those with religious objections.

The court voted 6-3, with conservative Justices John Roberts and Trump-appointees Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett siding with the liberal justices.

1. when they say religious beliefs they mean satan

its the Devil himself that spreads disease not the other gods.

2. That's good because apart from maybe Christian Scientists, religious exemptions are bullshit

Leaving aside the fact that I don't think 'religions' should getting be ANY special privileges period, there's no religion I'm aware of that has 'not getting vaccinated' as part of their religious dogma.

So ... even broken clocks being right and all that ...

3. Roberts

Who would have thought that one day we would call John Roberts one of our own.

5. Not one of our own. Just an occassional and tenuous ally.

I read in some article that Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are the new "center" of the court.

8. I wonder why it has always been hard for Republicans to find consistent, right-wing Justices

They scored with Thomas and Alito (and Scalia and Rehnquist in the past), but their choices usually disappoint them sometimes. Heck, Souter disappointed them nearly 100% of the time. The last time a Democrat made a mistake with a Justice was JFK's pick of Byron White.

4. Boooooofer! Dude is a model RepuliQon

6. I was a real party guy in my day.

I'm about the same age as Kavanaugh.

I honestly never heard of boofing until his confirmation hearings. Who knew that alcohol could be consumed anally? Not me.

7. It's a Republican frat-boy thingy

Part of their moral development, apparently.

9. Kind of surprising, though there is long standing precedent for vax mandates being allowed...

10. 'The Handmaiden'
