As we told you earlier, Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer made multiple factual errors while hearing arguments on the Biden administration’s OSHA Covid vaccine mandate today.
“It’s hard to convey the disrespect showed by Justices Sotomayor and Breyer today”:
It’s hard to convey the disrespect showed by Justices Sotomayor and Breyer today.
100 million Americans are affected by the Biden COVID mandates.
And these Justices showed up unprepared, inventing COVID numbers to support whatever legal conclusion they’ve already reached.

Yeah, it was bad:
Justice Sotomayor during this oral arguments:
– Claimed covid deaths are at an all time high
– Claimed that Omicron has been deadlier than Delta
– Claimed 100K children are hospitalized with covid
– Said OSHA's regulatory authority is a federal "police power."— Greg Price (@greg_price11) January 7, 2022
Definitely for the “we are f**ked file”:
From the "we are f**ked file" Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said of COVID that there were “750 million new cases yesterday,” in the United States, even though the population of the United States is around 331 million people.

So, where are the liberal fact-checkers?
I wonder if any of the professional fact-checkers – and clearly non-partisan – will do a Pinnochio thing for Justice Sotomayor over her COVID misstatements?

Well, there has been *some* fact-checking of what happened today, but libs seem pretty focused on one thing Neal Gorsuch said about the flu. From The Nation’s Elie Mystal:
Gorsuch: "the flu kills hundreds of thousands of people every year"
NO IT DOES NOT. STOP GETTING YOUR MEDICAL STATS FROM FOX NEWS.

Aaron Rupar chimed in as well:
The flu kills about 30,000 Americans each year. I'm kinda surprised Gorsuch would broadcast his ignorance like this. I looked this up with help from Google in about 10 seconds. https://t.co/6EC0BMC0yD

If Gorsuch should apologize, shouldn’t Sotomayor and Breyer be held to this standard as well?
I know Gorsuch, nor any conservative, nor any "omg I'm bored and want to go to the movies" person, will APOLOGIZE for their consistent Covid misinformation, but Covid is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more deadly then the GODDAMN FLU

We won’t hold our breath. As of the writing of this post, neither of these two found anything wrong with the factual errors spewed by the lib court members.
