Tea at Trianon: Supreme Court’s Massive Blow Against Biden’s Vax Mandate

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Supreme Court’s Massive Blow Against Biden’s Vax Mandate

From The Daily Wire:

The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for employers with at least 100 employees. On November 4, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) ordered all companies with at least 100 employees to ensure that they were either vaccinated against COVID-19 or tested weekly. The order was immediately met with opposition, including from The Daily Wire, which was the first business to sue the Biden administration in the Sixth Circuit. (Read more.)

From Gregg Jarrett:

As Supreme Court decisions go, this was surely the easiest call the justices will have this term. Their companion decision involving federal healthcare facilities was also an obvious one. In that case, the government was acting as an employer with the authority to enforce workplace rules requiring workers to be inoculated. Besides, they were doing it on their own anyway. The Supreme Court upheld that smaller aspect of Biden’s order.

So, Joe did it again. He managed to upend workers and businesses all across the nation for the last four months, only to have his actions roundly rejected as lawless. It’s become a pattern with Joe. And a measure of his chronic incompetence.

Let’s revisit what happened. When President Biden, with much fanfare, announced his new nationwide vaccine mandate on September 9th it was destined to be overturned by the Supreme Court. His sweeping and lawless order forcing COVID-19 shots impacted close to two-thirds of the American workforce. He did it without authority, and he knew that what he was doing was lawless. But he didn’t care. (Read more.)

From The Epoch Times:

Companies are reviewing their vaccination requirements after the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling, with some dropping them, some sticking with them, and some reinstating them. A General Electric Co. spokesperson said on Friday that it will stop requiring the U.S. employees to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccines, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Epoch Times reached out to General Electric for comment.

COVID-19 is the disease caused by CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which started in Wuhan, China, and spread to the world. The pandemic has cost over 5.5 million lives and infected over 300 million people globally. General Electric is a Boston-based maker of jet engines, wind turbines, and medical scanners. It had about 56,000 employees in the United States at the beginning of 2021. The company’s decision came after the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on Thursday blocked the Biden ministration’s vaccine mandates for private businesses while upholding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)’s vaccine mandate for health care workers.
