MSNBC’s ReidOut host Pleasure Reid was not proud of the Supreme Courtroom’s determination to strike down President Biden’s vaccine worker mandate on Thursday, arguing that the Supreme Courtroom was “siding with the virus” and that the six Republican-appointed justices are right-wing ideologues, amongst different vile private assaults.
As beforehand talked about, Loopy Pleasure led off the unhinged phase declaring “the U.S. Supreme Courtroom siding with the virus at this time by blocking the Biden administration’s rule requiring vaccine mandates for corporations using greater than 100 individuals.” Reid then requested each of her friends, Congressman Raul Ruiz (D-CA) and former U.S. Solicitor Common Neal Katyal what they “make of the Supreme Courtroom taking out this mandate.”
As you may think about, neither one in every of them was happy with the Supreme Courtroom’s determination. Each of them made very tame criticisms of the ruling in comparison with Reid who went off right into a deranged rant claiming:
I feel they’re ideologues. I feel they’re right-wing ideologues I feel they’re form of doing form of a Christian Nationalist model of you realize no matter it’s the Supreme Courtroom used to do.
Reid then aired a clip of Biden claiming United Airways had success with their very own company-wide mandate. Reid then proceeded to degree assaults on the court docket’s motives when addressing Katyal:
At this level, Neal, have they not simply merely acknowledged by their actions that they’re extra in favor of right-wing politics, the sort of DeSantis fashion right-wing politics than they’re in favor of saving lives? They do not actually care if this causes a number of individuals to die, clearly.
In response, Katyal referenced a earlier phase Reid had the place she attacked Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema for her assist of conserving the legislative filibuster, claiming “at this time’s Supreme Courtroom opinion is sort of just like the Kyrsten Sinema of Supreme Courtroom opinions.” Presumably, Katyal meant the Supreme Courtroom did not cave to the leftist agenda? He did not specify what he meant by the Sinema reference.
Throughout Katyal’s commentary on the vaccine mandates, he referenced one other court docket determination that was handed down at this time that handled veteran’s advantages which Reid was clearly not conscious of. Katyal mentioned “you realize I misplaced one other case at this time on the Supreme Courtroom about veterans’ advantages. However I’m going to remain silent on that.”
As is typical of Reid being each ignorant and disrespectful of different needs, she butted in asking for Katyal to debate the case that he had simply mentioned he wished to remain silent on:
REID: I’ve to ask you in a short time, what did they do to veterans’ advantages? As a result of. In a short time?
KATYAL: It is the social safety advantages. They reduce them again for a sure class of veterans at this time.
Predictably that call additionally triggered Reid which precipitated her to blurt out “after all. In fact. At this level, Neal, it’s onerous to consider them as something aside from right-wing ideologues. They need to all simply have right-wing discuss radio reveals. Reid continued her kvetching, “they aren’t justices within the nice custom of Supreme Courtroom justices. They’re simply politicians. So far as I am involved, I see nothing about what they’re doing that I can probably respect.”
Fortunately at the least 5 Supreme Justices may care much less about having the respect of Pleasure Reid. As a substitute, they determined to uphold the structure and the rule of regulation.
Reid’s venom towards the Supreme Courtroom was made potential because of the endorsement of advertisers reminiscent of Applebee’s, Sleep Number, and Chase. Comply with the hyperlinks to see their contact info on the MRC’s Conservatives Struggle Again web page.

7:34:21 PMJOY REID: We now have a variety of breaking information on the COVID entrance, together with the U.S. Supreme Courtroom siding with the virus at this time by blocking the Biden administration’s rule requiring vaccine mandates for corporations using greater than 100 individuals. However the court docket mentioned a separate mandate requiring vaccinations for an estimated 20 million well being care staff could be enforced. This comes the day President Biden stepped up his response to the Omicron surge. For the Omicron surge. Pledging to offer Individuals with free checks and masks. He’s additionally sending 120 navy medical personnel to 6 states the place hospitals have been overrun by circumstances. Let’s herald Congressman and Doctor Raul Ruiz of California who’s becoming a member of us from the Palm Spring Conference Heart the place he’s serving to the FIND Foodbank distribute COVID-19 antigen checks. Additionally with us is former appearing U.S. Solicitor Common Neal Katyal. And thanks each for being right here. And Congressman Ruiz I wish to begin with you and thanks for what you are doing. I like that you’re serving to to really get checks as a result of that is what individuals so desperately want. However simply as a doctor, as someone who’s on the market making an attempt to signify the individuals and assist them, what do you make of the Supreme Courtroom taking out this mandate?
REP. RAUL RUIZ: You recognize, it does not make sense. And in a public well being perspective, it solely hurts us. It’s only good for our public’s well being and for the massive company’s companies to maintain their staff protected. And so they can achieve this by both making certain that they get vaccinated or that they get examined. And in the event that they’re constructive, to steer clear of different people that may additionally unfold the virus and trigger extra sick days and lack of productiveness for that firm. So it’s a dangerous day for our public well being efforts. However we nonetheless have some excellent news. The Biden administration has bought over 500 million checks. They’re on their option to offering 300 million a month. We even have these pilot applications with the Well being and Human Companies and USDA that we see right here the place they’re taking the checks to the individuals, into the communities which are susceptible. If you happen to’re meals insecure then your immune system might be weaker and subsequently you’ll get extra severely sick. You additionally extra possible reside in resource-poor settings the place you may have lack of entry, lack of house in your family to forestall from getting contaminated and quarantining, having the ability to quarantine away from different relations. And subsequently this can be a very high-risk susceptible inhabitants. And I feel it’s extremely sensible. And the pilot program is working. This group FIND Foodbank beneath the management of Deb Espinosa has already distributed 50,000 checks. At present they will distribute over 800 testing kits to households proper right here in Palm Springs within the Coachella Valley.
REID: And God bless that and everybody concerned in doing that. And you realize credit score the place credit score is due. That’s truly an exquisite program and the Biden administration actually deserves credit score for it. You recognize, I imply. we’re making an attempt to save lots of lives right here that’s the finish aim. You recognize and Neal, I’ve to say, I haven’t got religion within the Supreme Courtroom. I feel they’re ideologues. I feel they’re right-wing ideologues I feel they’re form of doing form of a Christian Nationalist model of you realize no matter it’s the Supreme Courtroom used to do. However you realize, I simply have a look at the numbers. You recognize, Biden talked at this time about United Airways the place he mentioned — let me simply hearken to what he mentioned. That is President Biden at this time speaking about one firm that benefitted from these mandates.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: United Airways was averaging one worker dying every week from COVID-19. After implementing its requirement, it is led to 99% of its staff being vaccinated. United had 3,600 staff check constructive, however zero hospitalizations. Zero deaths in over eight weeks.
REID: I imply, the administration had made an estimate that it could that the mandate would end in 22 million individuals getting vaccinated and stop 250,000 hospitalizations. The same old six voted the way in which we might anticipate them to vote, the six right-wingers. At this level, Neal, have they not simply merely acknowledged by their actions that they’re extra in favor of right-wing politics, the sort of DeSantis fashion right-wing politics than they’re in favor of saving lives? They do not actually care if this causes a number of individuals to die, clearly.
NEAL KATYAL: Nicely Pleasure, I do assume that this can be a actually darkish day for the court docket and for the nation. And you realize at this time’s Supreme Courtroom opinion is sort of just like the Kyrsten Sinema of Supreme Courtroom opinions.
REID: Yeah
KATYAL: And I do not say that calmly in attacking the court docket. I not often do assault the court docket. Certainly, you realize I misplaced one other case at this time on the Supreme Courtroom about veterans’ advantages. However I’m going to remain silent on that. However at this time’s determination on vaccines is such a grave menace to public security. And the concept the Supreme Courtroom is answerable for it, it is actually onerous to think about. I imply the justices are actually residing in their very own bubble. You recognize, I simply argued there just lately, and I am unable to inform you all of the COVID restrictions that they had. I needed to get a destructive check. They barred all of the guests and the general public from being there. They moved the rostrum again 15 toes in order that I used to be farther away. They did all kinds of issues to regulate their work surroundings. And what President Biden did and what OSHA did is say look, you realize when you’re an atypical worker, we all know you may’t management your work surroundings the way in which that the Supreme Courtroom justices can. So we’ll do it for you and impose these restrictions. And the court docket had a authorized fiction to get round it. What they mentioned at this time is, effectively, it is not a quote occupational hazard since you may get COVID at work or you could possibly get it at college or a baseball sport. Nicely, by that logic, then OSHA, this company should not regulate fireplace prevention plans.
REID: Proper.
KATYAL: Since you may overlook to show off the oven or your children could possibly be enjoying with matches. I imply, it’s ludicrous. And, you realize I simply assume that is such a foul factor for the court docket and a foul factor for public well being. And I am so grateful to individuals just like the Congressman for doing what they will to patch the gaps when our justices aren’t defending us.
REID: I’ve to ask you in a short time, what did they do to veterans’ advantages? As a result of. In a short time?
KATYAL: It is the social safety advantages. They reduce them again for a sure class of veterans at this time.
REID: In fact. In fact. At this level, Neal, it’s onerous to consider them as something aside from right-wing ideologues. They need to all simply have right-wing discuss radio reveals. They aren’t justices within the nice custom of Supreme Courtroom justices. They’re simply politicians. So far as I am involved, I see nothing about what they’re doing that I can probably respect. It is unhappy what’s taking place to this nation. However I thanks for being right here, Neal Katyal as all the time. Congressman Raul Ruiz, thanks for what you are doing. You’re doing god’s work on the market. We actually recognize you.
