However, the court allowed a separate mandate for healthcare workers at federally funded facilities to proceed. The hosts discuss the 6-3 conservative majority's reasoning that OSHA exceeded its regulatory authority.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor participated remotely and faced criticism for discussing "policy" rather than "constitutionality." Observers noted that the liberal justices appeared to support the mandates as a necessary response to the pandemic, while conservative justices expressed skepticism about federal overreach.

She challenged the idea that the agency's power ends if individuals choose to assume the risk of remaining unvaccinated. The debate centered on whether a narrower solution for those in "grave danger" would be more appropriate than a broad federal mandate.

Scott Gottlieb predicted that the CDC will eventually redefine "fully vaccinated" to require three doses. The discussion suggests that the government is shifting the burden of enforcement onto private corporations.

Despite this suspension, many corporations continue to enforce internal mandates. The hosts suggest that companies may face legal liability if they continue to require vaccination as a condition of employment without federal backing.

Multiple states, including Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, filed lawsuits arguing the rule is overly broad and violates religious expressions. The mandate's deadline was set for January 4, 2022, leading to accusations that the delay undermines the administration's claim of a dire emergency.

She criticized Governors Abbott and DeSantis for "putting politics ahead of public health." The hosts argue that executive orders do not equate to federal law and question the constitutionality of the administration's actions.

While the administration encourages private companies like United Airlines to implement their own mandates immediately, OSHA has yet to publish the official regulations. Speculation suggests the rule may never be finalized to avoid inevitable legal challenges, relying instead on corporate compliance.

While the federal government has authority over interstate commerce, it remains unclear if the executive branch can bypass Congress to mandate medical procedures for private employees. Dershowitz noted that while a 1905 Supreme Court precedent exists for state-level mandates, a federal mandate of this scale is legally unprecedented.

This policy change occurs as reports from the UK indicate teenage boys face a higher risk of heart problems from the vaccine than from the virus itself. Additionally, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted he does not have a firm answer on why those with natural immunity are required to be vaccinated.

This move is intended to avoid disincentivizing vaccination efforts, though it raises concerns about the underreporting of adverse events. Discussion also touched on rare reported side effects like macroglossia (enlarged tongue) and the reliance on the VAERS system for data collection.

This policy shift potentially opens employers to significant financial and legal liability for vaccine-related complications.

Professor John Banzhaf suggests employees should file OSHA or ADA complaints against coworkers who smell of tobacco. This research is viewed as a PR precursor to marketing IQOS as a "cleaner" alternative that eliminates the lingering odors associated with traditional smoking.

The hosts critique commentator Thom Hartmann's argument that the disaster proves the need for "big government," noting that regulations already existed but inspections had not occurred since 1985. The segment ends with a tangent about the high salaries of media figures like Matt Lauer.
