Re: “Justices block 1 rule and allow 1.” Chicago Tribune. p. 1, Jan. 14:
With their decision to block the Occupational Safety and Health Administration from enforcing COVID-19 mitigation practices in the workplace, the Supreme Court has degenerated into a purely partisan farce. They argue that because COVID can be spread everywhere, not just in the workplace, it therefore is not a workplace health hazard. The absurdity of this argument reveals that the Republican-stacked Supreme Court intends to enforce Republican political opinions without even pretending to justify their fiats on Constitutional grounds.
Justice Gorsuch has strayed so deeply into fringe ideology that he refuses to wear a mask in the presence of his few remaining liberal workplace colleagues who are old or have medical conditions, making them especially susceptible to COVID. Evidently, his goal is to kill off those colleagues who oppose his radical and baseless conspiracy theories.
