Supreme Court justices may have met a vaccine mandate some of them don't like

A group of unvaccinated Maine health care workers are asking the Supreme Court to block a state rule that mandates certain health care facilities require their employees to be fully vaccinated, arguing that the requirement violates their religious liberty rights.

So far, the justices have declined invitations to strike down vaccine mandates at Indiana University and New York City schools, but the Maine dispute could be different.

That's because the workers are making religious claims that could attract some of the justices.

The case is reminiscent of religious liberty disputes that arose in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic when states passed strict rules seeking to combat the spread of the virus. The court's conservative majority ruled in favor of houses of worship in those disputes.

Bound and determined to push their superstition on the rest of us.

Dutch reformed...that's about it.

Catholics have no leg to stand on as the pope says go get it.

No major American denomination is against this vaccine.

As long as you claim that your views are based on your religious beliefs, you really can’t be questioned about it. It is a very broad concept.
