Who did the begging?
Five Associate Supreme Court Justices.
They are:
Samuel Alito
Amy Coney Barrett
Neil Gorsuch
Brett Kavanaugh
Clarence Thomas
Five is a majority of the nine-member Supreme Court.
If Congress passed a law granting OSHA the authority to issue vaccine mandates, the Supreme Court would have affirmed it.
However, as recently as Dec. 8th, the Senate voted down a law that if passed, would have granted OSHA the power to do so.

Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas said in their opinion:
“We expect Congress to speak clearly” if it wishes to assign to executive agency decisions “of vast economic and political significance.”
Justice Kavanaugh said without a law, OSHA:
“ . . .lacked authority to impose the (vaccine) mandate . . .”
There is no law that “plainly authorizes” (OSHA) to issue vaccine mandates.”
