A group of Indiana University students seeking to block the school’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate were dealt a blow by conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Thursday.
Barrett, former President Donald Trump’s controversial election-year confirmation to the highest court, rejected the students’ emergency application for an injunction against the mandate before the start of the school year, issuing the rejection without comment, Law & Crime reported.
“With a third ruling, now from the nation’s highest court, affirming Indiana University’s COVID-19 vaccination plan, we look forward to beginning fall semester with our health and safety policies in place,” Indiana University spokesman Chuck Carney wrote in an email to Law & Crime. “We are grateful to those who have stepped up to protect themselves and others; 85% of our students, faculty, and staff are approaching full vaccination.”
Eight Indiana University students led by plaintiff Ryan Klaassen argued for equal protection under the law, saying the unvaccinated were being discriminated against. No court has come to agree with that argument amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 100 years of U.S. Supreme Court precedent has determined vaccination mandates are Constitutional, Law & Crime noted.
“To answer the question today, the court travels back in time to 1905: a time before the modern tiers of constitutional analysis [strict scrutiny and rational basis] and one rampaged by the smallpox epidemic,” U.S. District Judge Damon R. Leichty, also a Trump appointee, wrote in his initial June decision, citing Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Oh and don’t forget…. Vote Harder Next Time
Yep, it has worked out well all of my life.
I am curious to hear why anyone would want to or send their children to these dens of Satan’s minions? They gave you an out with home schooling and there are trade schools and such that will learn you a real trade.
I tried to tell my youngest brother that only a foll sends their child to a public school. He had no explanation other than they need social things. Well then take them out. No child needed that much socializing up until the last couple decades. Oh that is right, that is when it really started to fall apart. Fools.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett another appointed traitor. She can always be counted on to rule against freedom, liberty, and property rights. She is puppet for the communist pope.
Along with Trump has a lot of people fooled. Trump knew this was on the books in the future.
Wes,
You have been ahead of the curve telling folks that voting is useless and no one is coming to save you. You have earned my respect.
I have a very intelligent sister that recently retired to NC. She was one of the first in line to get the jab because her “health issues” made her one of the most vulnerable.
She had a website like yours right in her backyard and it didn’t help. She had a brother that could have steered her in the right direction. Not to be.
Thank You. Sorry to hear about your sister.
As has been said 100000000 times.
It’s not who cast the votes. It’s who counts the votes.
That being said, I wonder how many of the SC justices are corrupt, how many are blackmailed (Roberts?, how many are scared sh!tless that if they vote the *wrong* way they will be killed, along with their families.
