Am I reading it wrong as it doesn’t seem that broad? It only exempts all interstate transport workers in the context of their employment? I sure would love a broad exemption for all people from that circus!

Needless to say, while all Supreme Court decisions matter, don't expect any of today's decisions to take over the news cycle.
