Maine Health Care Workers Seek Emergency Relief from SCOTUS

I posted this in another thread, but figured I'd go ahead and make a new thread since it is actually going before the SCOTUS.
This started when A U.S. District judge ruled that Maine could prohibit religious exemptions to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. Then U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the appeal. So yesterday Liberty Counsel filed an emergency injunction pending appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Unfortunately it went to Breyer for review.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how this plays out, or even if Breyer allows it since he's the one reviewing it.

Liberty Counsel filed an emergency injunction pending appeal (IPA) to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of more than 2,000 health care workers against Governor Janet Mills, health officials of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and five of Maine’s largest hospital systems. The IPA went to Justice Stephen Breyer for review.

Liberty Counsel is asking the High Court to rule that: 1) Governor Mills will not enforce her unconstitutional mandate so that plaintiff John Doe 1 must force his employees to receive a COVID-19 injection and not provide a religious exemption or accommodation for his employees in violation of his and their sincerely held religious beliefs; 2) Defendants will immediately cease in their refusal to consider, review, and grant plaintiffs’ requests for religious exemption and accommodation from the governor’s “COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate,” provided that plaintiffs agree to abide by reasonable accommodation provisions such as masking, testing, symptom monitoring and reporting; and 3) Defendants will immediately cease threatening to discharge and terminate plaintiffs from their employment for failure to accept a COVID-19 “vaccine” that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs.

I'm licensed in fricking Oregon and those freaks are requiring the same thing. Hopefully that fricking fish faced motherfricking governor of ours doesn't follow suit.

NY state healthcare workers got an extension due to not being given the option for religious exemptions ... not sure if it was the USSC who did it or at the state level. Maybe this was 3/4 weeks ago??
Edit: Here's an article about it. Federal court blocks mandate

If there are conflicts from different circuits, then SCOTUS is SUPPOSED to take it. But these worthless frickers will find a way to punt.

This is my concern. You had two different federal judges in two different states giving different rulings on religious freedom. This sounds to me like the exact type of case that is supposed to be heard by the SCOTUS. But the fact that one of the "liberal" judges is reviewing it, I have serious doubts that he'll allow it to go before the SCOTUS. Hopefully I'm just being pessimistic.
