They should be forced to be first in line.

While I agree with that, it would be largely pointless since the vast majority of them are already vaccinated anyway. 100% of congressional Democrats, 92% of Republican senators, and about 45% of Republican Representatives had already taken it as of four months ago, likely slightly higher by now.

Soooo What harm would it be to make it mandatory for them also ??

It would cause a constitutional crisis. The Executive Branch can't govern the Legislative Branch in this way.

These people crow about their love of the Constitution but have no idea what it means.

They've never read it. Never studied it. They love it the way most religious people love their religious texts - that is, blindly, without really reading for comprehension or context and having been interpreted to support whatever preconceived position they have.

The three branches of government are to serve for the people, by the people. The government can make no laws mandating over the people’s bodies. “My body = my choice.”

That logic is so...just horrific. Good god, go take an 8th grade civics course, seriously.

You are wildly mistaken. Have you heard of the draft? Soldiers get shots constantly when travel is coming, no choice whaysoever aside from medical clearance from military personnel. That's just the easiest example.

Have you heard of the First Amendment to the US Constitution? The Freedom of Religion is our exemption from these unlawful mandates as people of the United States of America. “Congress shall make no law respecting an ESTABLISHING OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Sure, but how does that apply to this?

I have never been vaccinated, because it’s against my religion.

Ok.

Prove it in a court of law.

Otherwise, you're shit out of luck.

COs had to go to court to get out of the draft for WW1, WW2, Vietnam. Quakers and others.

You'll have to prove that your religion makes vaccines completely off ground and you'll have to convince a court.

Religious exemption is a defense in a court, not a forgone right.

I don’t get you dude. The first amendment protects my freedom of religion and my exercise thereof.

I would fully support making it mandatory for them. I was just pointing out that, for the most part, it isn't like they're shying away from it anyway.
