SCOTUS rules for Virus

They ruled in favor of the constitution. Have you heard of it. Good read. Try it some time.
100 years ago, our SCOTUS knew how to rule in a pandemic. Today's SCOTUS cons have shit for brains.

While this global situation is new to most Americans, pandemics used to be much more commonplace. The last one was the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918, which resulted in our Constitution being tested by local and state regulations. And throughout our nation’s history the court has issued multiple rulings that have established legal precedent when it comes to distancing and quarantine methods.

One such case was Jacobson v. Massachusetts in 1905. A man named Henning Jacobson wanted to refuse a smallpox vaccine and maintained he had the legal right to do so.

However, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state, stating that “a community has the right to protect itself against an epidemic of disease which threatens the safety of its members.”

Typical pouting. Nothing prohibits private companies from setting their rules.. nor states taking an action .
Julie even posted Major corps had already mandated jabs so why did Joe need take it to the SCOTUS?

Evidently MOST is not enough for Dictators
