    You miss the point. The constitutionality of the statutes wasn't raised by the plaintiffs, so unless you're one of those who thinks activist judges should go ahead and rule on issues that aren't before them, the Court was correct to not address that issue.

    What did we really gain out of this?

    -The Biden Admin literally just told U.S. companies to ignore the SC and push forward with mandates anyway. They did this after the mandates were stayed a couple months ago as well. I'm sure most will oblige at this rate.

    -Medical workers got the shaft. I mean, Jesus... They're apart of all of this with us. And just because they work at a place that accepts medicare and medicaid? And the one vote could have likely been Mr. Crybaby conservative Kavanaugh?


    The more I think on it, the more I don't feel that great about all of this, to be honest. Might just be me not having any faith in all of these institutions anymore.

    Some good news...

    On Monday, my company instituted a policy to have all employees declare their vaccination status by Feb 9th, so they could implement the OSHA rule. Friggin' cowards.

    Last night, they rescinded that policy.

    And you missed my point, apparently. The OSHA mandate is so blatantly contrary to the 10th that the argument didn't even need to be raised, hence why it was amazingly predictable that the mandate would not be allowed to continue. Whether the pleadings addressed the 10th specifically is irrelevant. Any "law" that is blatantly unconstitutional is null and void on its face. No specific court arguments needed. When the constitutionality of a law/mandate/policy/whatever is debatable, that is when arguments are needed, yes. No such debate was even necessary to know the OSHA mandate was contrary to the 10th and that is ultimately why it was not allowed to continue.

    Perhaps many, yes, but probably not the ones now dealing with permanent vax injuries, chronic illness due to depleted immune systems and other adverse reactions.


    -------------------------------------------

    Congress passing an OSHA mandate would also be struck down for the same 10th Amendment reasons. Federal government collectively does not have authority, regardless if Executive or Congress, to force anything on a resident/entity of the 50 states without that resident's/entity's consent in some form. It boils down to the Feds now being a corporate body instead of a governmental body and, accordingly, all measures coming out of DC require some form of voluntary contractual consent relevant to the subject matter of what is being legislated. Health care mandate upheld because there is voluntary consent via receiving federal funding. Federal employee and contractor mandate for the same reason. Federal taxation because of voluntary consent and engagement via EIN/SSN and voluntary engagement in W2s and associated forms (requires signatures, yes? if so, it's a voluntary contract....anything you sign is a contract). A few examples in every day life but the same principle applies. Voluntary consent, even if ignorantly entered into, is still consent.

    I suggest you read the per curiam opinion in the case involving the OSHA regulation. It was based solely upon the language of the statute establishing OSHA and whether it authorized the agency to promulgate the mandate. It was in no way based on the notion that Congress had no authority to enact the statute in the first place. See https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinion...1a244_hgci.pdf

    This should be blatantly obvious when you consider that the Court upheld the mandate in the Medicare/Medicaid case, where it implicitly accepted the constitutionality of those programs (I suspect you believe they are unconstitutional as well).

    Hall of Fame umpire Bill Klem once took a bit too long to make a call on a pitch. When the batter asked if it was a ball or strike, Klem replied, "It ain't nothin' until I call it." In the same way, a statute isn't unconstitutional until the Court says it is. That's how the law in the real world works.

    Guess again. If you're drafted (assuming the draft were ever reinstated) or called to jury duty or supoenaed in federal court or had your property confiscated because you ignored a federal court judgment against you because you didn't consent to the court's jurisdiction over you you'd find out soon enough whether the feds had authority.

    Taxation isn't based on contract or consent. If that were true, someone who never had a SSN or filed a tax return or signed a W-2 would never go to prison for tax evasion or have a civil judgment rendered against him for a tax deficiency (plus penalties and interest). But such people do go to prison and have judgments rendered against them. The argument that taxation is voluntary is a loser.

    Yeah, I know. "Zero" is an exaggeration. In fact, I falsified my own claim by citing a regret on another thread:

    LINK: Mom’s Twitter Timeline Shows Transformation from Pro-Vax To Pro-Informed Consent Following Teen Son’s Vaccine Injury

    But I suspect that many dealing with vax injuries, chronic illness, etc, will not associate their condition with the jab. "Heart failure 5 weeks later? Couldn't have been the jab." If they do, then yes, perhaps some regret. But I'm pointing out possible jab related damage to folks and the jabbed people in my life dismiss all of it. I'm not sure that they'd wake up even if they suffered a jab injury. "It would have been worse without the jab!!!"

    Or maybe my evaluation of my fellow man is just a lot lower than yours?

    Very typical attorney reply from Sonny. A lot of words needed to explain something that is an extremely simple concept, which is the hallmark of the legal system. It violates the 10th. Can't continue. Stop. Easy peasy. But they can't rule in that manner because it removes the mystique and the ideal, which the legal system relies on, that "legal" is too complicated for the little people to comprehend. It's simple. In a country with a Constitution that restrains "government" from 95% of what it does, that 95% is by your own consent via entering contracts pledging your performance. Constitution does ensure freedom to enter contracts, even if ignorantly. It's all contracts to get us to give up rights in exchange for commercial privileges and accepting the liabilities. If you sign it, it's a contract to perform and like any contract if you don't follow the terms of the contract there are penalties. It's not rocket science. Keep signing W2s, W4s, 1099s, Social Security cards, credit cards, driver's licenses, bank account signature cards, etc. All contracts.....then wonder why ya don't feel very free anymore....

    (It's worth noting that Sonny literally is triggered somehow to post in any thread that mentions "income taxes". It's uncanny. Gee, wonder why?)

    What's so simple that it's beyond your comprehension is that if none of the parties to a lawsuit asks the court to rule on a constitutional issue it's not the court's job to inject one into the case.

    Nope. For example, hiring a hit man to kill someone is an illegal act that the Constitution doesn't protect. Similarly, entering into a usurious loan agreement or some other illegal agreement can result in penalties to the lender or render the contract unenforceable.

    'Cause Sonny would like to smarten up credulous suckers parroting the same tired, brain-dead arguments that have no basis in law and that have a 100% loss record in court. But for some folks who have drunk way too much tax-protester kool aid it's like trying to teach calculus to a banana slug.

    I needed to submit a new W9 last month. I signed it with "without prejudice UCC 1-308" It's just a drop in the bucket relative to the dozens of other things that I've signed in my life but it's a start.
