This thread started out pondering the constitutional grounds for vaccine mandates. Predictably, it has made several detours along the way. It never ceases to amaze me just how many armchair lawyers live amongst us, and how willing they are to dispense legal advice and opinion. I get it...too many keyboard kommandoes simply can't help themselves, and must jump into the maelstrom.
As for what is, or is not constitutional, consider this: The final arbiter regarding the constitutionality of any issue is the U.S. Supreme Court. Nine men and women deemed to be the best and the brightest legal minds our country has to offer. Yet, how many "decisions" come down to a vote of 5-4, or even 6-3? So...even the elite constitutional minds in this country cannot agree on what is or is not constitutional. We're the issues so patently cut and dried, would not all votes come down 9-0? Or, is there always some other agenda in play? Food for thought.
