>Does anyone have a guess as to how a vote by Congress to authorize OSHA vaccine mandates would fair?

If I understand correctly, S.J. Res 29 [1] is a senate resolution that answers this exact question. Looking at the voting result [2], 2 Democrats voted YAY (ie expressing disapproval of the mandate) along with some Independents and all Republicans. This leads me to believe that a similar rule would not pass the Senate. Although there could be more to the story, eg I don't know the motivation that the two Democrats had when voting YAY, especially given at least to my understanding this kind of vote is more symbolic than anything.

Not necessarily purely symbolic. It could have been done as a signal to the court that the mandate would not have had congressional approval.

Ah, surprised that I didn't think of it that way, considering the way that I learned about this Senate resolution was by reading the majority decision: "In fact, the most noteworthy action concerning the vaccine mandate by either House of Congress has been a majority vote of the Senate disapproving the regulation on December 8, 2021. S. J. Res. 29, 117th Cong., 1st Sess. (2021)." [1]
