WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday turned away healthcare workers seeking a religious exemption to Maine's COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the latest battle over vaccination to reach the justices.
The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, rejected a request made by nine unnamed plaintiffs who identified themselves as healthcare workers who object to receiving the shots on religious grounds. The court previously rejected challenges to vaccine mandates in New York and Indiana, though those cases did not involve religious objections.
The justices were divided, with three conservative members saying they would have granted the request.
In Maine, "healthcare workers who have served on the front line of a pandemic for the last 18 months are now being fired and their practices shuttered," conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a dissenting opinion. He was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.

Kavanaugh and Barrett.... quislings. Roberts is hopeless.
Robert’s strikes again.

No, it doesn't.
I have NO intention of attempting to acquire some sort of “religious exemption” to these nasty shots. I am simply going to say NO to them, and you’re going to have to deal with it.
The law supports pfascism.
Is anyone surprised?
That is why the law will be no defense in Nuremberg 2.0 any more than Nanzi law was a defense in Nuremberg 1.0.
Did I miss why it was rejected? Procedural? Standing?
Kavanaugh and Barrett were rotten picks. It’s the libs who have a 6-3 majority.
Now I know Barrett is no Catholic.
Once I saw how Amy acted in the hearings I knew she’d be a disaster. She loves praise
What the heck?
Are the so-called conservative justices being blackmailed?
Thank you, Justices Alito and Thomas, for standing strong.
She might be Catholic, but she isn’t a Christian. Christianity comes from a decision your heart has made at some point in time, not an affiliation.
I don’t see this as a conservative court.
They can’t keep politics out of their decisions.
It’s imperative to have a fair judicial system.. and we have none.
It does beg the question. Does the SC entertain requests all day? Was this a case, Maybe there are bigger cases pending whereby the matter may be more firmly settled.
There needs to be a challenge by previously infected and recovered on the grounds that it is an unnecessary medical procedure.
Biden administration refuses judge’s request to hold off on firing unvaccinated employees seeking religious exemptions
.....and now we know why. The fix is in. Trumps SC picks were from a list already vetted by McTurtle and the deepstate. It appears they passed the litmus test.
In six months this thing is likely to be over with.
The left has something on those two
She is the new Ginsburg.
Exactly.
