That’s peculiar, Supreme Court edition

The Supreme Court struck down Biden's mandate for businesses to require vaccines and related precautionary items.

First off, the end result was predictable. SCOTUS has a definite bias, and a mandate about public safety and health and well being is not specifically enumerated in the constitution. Although you could argue that it's in there in spirit, the justices didn't see it that way and so ruled "in favor of the constitution" that the president doesn't have that power over business.

It's not a good decision, but I maybe, kind of understand. Maybe.

The thing that gets me is that this defiance of a mandate even made it before the Supreme Court. Who brought it? Did they have legal standing? And what manner of petulance is this that someone felt the need to challenge the constitutionality of it?

Businesses, meanwhile, will do what's in their own best interest. Certainly some number of large companies will go ahead with vaccine mandates and protecting their employees and customers as a way to make things right in their own way. It might simply be that they are protecting themselves from lawsuits, or it could be that they are trying to do right by people. It really doesn't matter which.
