Holy crap. MY president stepping up bigly

Hopefully the recent justices appointed by Trump will help find this executive order unconstitutional.
I hope they don't
I wonder if someone could do a cost/benefit analysis of mandatory vaccinations?
If it's ruled unconstitutional, no need for one. The government, and especially the executive branch, is already given far too much leeway in what they are allowed to do, and this is a complete abuse of power. The Supreme Court is the last hope to strike against these attacks on representative government.
I have some thoughts on this, but what is your basis for asserting his plan is unconstitutional?
At a minimum, this is something that must be enacted through the legislative branch, similar to the eviction moratorium. I'm not buying the way they're trying to shoehorn this through OSHA.
For me personally, I also think the constitution forbids the federal government from forcing you to put something in your body. There's a big difference between the government telling you you can't do something and it trying to force you to do something.
I think there's a better chance the courts would agree with me on the first point. I'm hopeful the new justices on the Supreme Court would agree with me on the second. I don't believe they would have upheld the individual mandate in the ACA if they had been the ones to originally hear it.
