Late last week, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor revealed herself to be a dishonest broker of COVID-related information.
That’s a bad look for Justice Sotomayor, to be sure. But maybe HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra figured that she’d seem relatively reasonable if he said something that’s quite obviously ridiculous.
Like, say, that if SCOTUS doesn’t uphold the Biden administration’s OSHA vaccine-or-test mandate, they’ll basically have blood on their hands:
HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra says “people will die” if the Supreme Court strikes down President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for large businesses: “That will be on their conscience.” pic.twitter.com/sMK2mLN8fy

OK, pal.

With threats like that you’d think Becerra was talking to some nuns, not the Supreme Court. https://t.co/uh8GexJruC

Oh, snap! We see what you did there, Matt.
By this rationale, @XavierBecerra…are people dying because the Biden administration failed in providing enough tests?
You can't have it both ways. https://t.co/uu1KW6V7oY

Watch him try to have it both ways. Watch the entire Biden administration try.
The Biden Administration really needs to cut it out with the hyperbole. It undermines everything they try to achieve

Once they get going, they just can’t stop themselves.
That’s not a legal argument

It’s not a sane argument.
That has no bearing on what the Court has to consider. https://t.co/KVmNH4Vq9P

What garbage.
If the mandate is unconstitutional it’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
That’s the only question before the court. https://t.co/Kyg1igPhFH

Shhh. Becerra and the rest of Joe Biden’s goons don’t want to bring the Constitution into this, because they know that the Constitution will get in their way.

The HHS Sec. was unable to support the mandate with any data, science or logically presented empirical information. Which, is to be expected.

Data, science, and logically presented empirical information just don’t have the same oomph as unhinged finger-pointing.
Remy taught us that.

Still holds up.
That's original. The Dems using "do as we say or people will die" as a pitch. Haven't heard that one in weeks.
