If I am a Supreme Court justice and I dissent in a patent case, and I write, the majority's decision is terrible because it will block innovation that would save 1 million lives every year, that number may be completely fictitious and also irrelevant to the merits of the case, and yet I am using it to try to argue to posterity that the majority's decision is a bad thing. Do you not agree that was what Sotomayor was doing? The majority's theory had nothing to do with the idea that OSHA can only act against harms that kill lots of people. Quite the opposite -- the premise was that OSHA can't require vaccination because COVID kills people outside work too.

The big problem there is that the conservative majority reached a shitty decision, with shitty legal reasoning.

All about owning the libs.
