Not to be deterred by such pesky inconveniences as a Supreme Court decision, immediately after the high court ruled the vaccine mandate was unconstitutional federal overreach – the White House told employers to enforce the vaccine mandate anyway.
White House Spokesperson Jennifer Psaki said the Biden administration would “not be deterred” by the Supreme Court decision, and all employers should immediately continue to “initiate vaccination requirements.” WATCH:

“They simply said that the Administration’s claim that OSHA had the authority to do this was not correct.”
Agreed
Xio Bei Din wants to use EO’s, and “suggestions” to agencies to bypass Congress. As lots of Prez’s do.
If Congress wants to do something, they should vote on it, but they avoid the votes, to avoid the responsibility, and the anger from the voters.
It’s a shiite sandwich were the Voter gets pushed aside for the State power-grabbers.
Congress needs to vote and LIMIT agency powers.
But that’s not gonna happen,even if the PUBES get back in power.
Any ruling that is a crack in the wall that protects the unlimited authority of executive branch agencies to make law is a good thing.
This ruling can be precedent for many other lawsuits to restrict the EPA “waters of the United States” rulings and other illegal agency rulemaking without Congressional authority.
The point is that yesterday's SCOTUS decision on the OSHA mandate had nothing to do with whether employers can implement mandates on their own, or whether the President can urge that businesses should do that on their own. It just was not part of that case.
Well, if you read the decision together with the HCW decision, it’s pretty obvious that there’s a 5-4 majority behind the ideas that vaccines work, are effective, and can be mandated to protect others.
So, I seriously doubt that this court, under present conditions, is going to prevent any private actor from requiring vaccinations in its own sphere.
I think they already told you.
They are going to ask private employers to mandate for their companies, and most will go along.
If the lackluster gop takes majority in house and senate, it would be cheap
entertainment watching lame duck bumblin' biden pound the lectern in frustration.
The person who doesn’t understand the constitution is the author of this article.
Businesses can’t violate the constitution unless they engage in indentured servitude.
Asking businesses to do something does not violate the constitution.
5-4 majority for federal/health workers to take the ineffective vaccines.
Majority says NOT for everyone else.
Sounds reasonable. But my point is, a sitting President is encouraging private entities to ignore the ruling as though he is the final word. So what is the need for a ruling by the Supreme Court if a POTUS can overrule, which is what he is doing. Back to the same theme of this administration, there is not a rule of law except the law we impose.
Yer getting me all smoking hot talking that way!
Read the decision.
Nothing about vaccines.
Everything about the authority of OSHA to issue a mandate.
And be sued to hell and back at great cost to them. Bring it on!
May we see your drug dispensing records please?
Why should a medical record of a jab against Covid be legally treated differently than a record of a jab against HIV?
Foxtrot Yankee Brandon.
Any business truly serious in the fight against Covid will offer their employees 30 days combined of paid vacation and paid sick leave per year.
One can have all the paperwork our Great Helmsman would like & omicron too.
I'd add "on an emergency temporary basis." That's the "grave danger" level of risk. OSHA regular rules don't require that level of risk.
The same "OSHA mandate" issue can come through the courts again - this time involving District Courts - is OSHA proceeds to implement the rule after the period for public comment.
I understand that the SCOTUS opinion is on a "stay" or "injunction" basis, and too that the opinion reads as though OSHA lacks this power, period. Won't be the first time the government rebooted an arguably incorrect/illegal/unauthorized order against the public in the face of what looks like court opposition. I doubt the court is really opposed. All it is concerned with is institutional legitimacy and maintenance of federal powers.
For my part I believe they will try to use some other administrative/regulatory means to punish employers who do NOT force their employees to be “vaccinated.”
I might be wrong, and if I am forgive me. Seems to me a few months ago the courts ruled that employers can issue company mandates to take the vaccine. Stating in effect “ if you don’t like it, work somewhere else.”
Unless you want to be sued into oblivion.
