INDIANAPOLIS (WANE) — Indiana will sue the Biden administration over its federal vaccine mandate, calling it government overreach.
Attorney General Todd Rokita announced Thursday plans to file at least three lawsuits – including one with Louisiana and Mississippi – to challenge the vaccine mandate. The state attorney general said he plans to sue lawsuits challenging:
the vaccine mandate for federal contractors, OSHA’s rule forcing all employers with 100 or more workers to require all employees to be vaccinated or provide negative COVID-19 tests weekly, and a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rule requiring vaccination of all health care workers at facilities participating in Medicare and/or Medicaid. “We are suing the president because he’s got to stop running roughshod over Americans’ liberties,” Rokita said. “It is regrettable that we must take him to court to make him uphold his oath, but it’s necessary to protect our state institutions and fellow citizens from his unlawful schemes.”
It was September when President Joe Biden announced a vaccination mandate that would make employers with 100 or more workers require coronavirus vaccinations or institute weekly virus testing. This week then, the federal government put a Jan. 4 deadline in place for millions of U.S. workers to get a COVID vaccine or face testing.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will assist companies with vaccination plans – and will handle enforcement. Companies could face fines for non-compliance.
Indiana will be taking multiple, aggressive legal actions, both independently and with other states to fight for hard-working Hoosiers and all Americans against Joe Biden’s dictatorial plans. More details later today.

I hope this wave of lawsuits continues. What gets me is Biden clearly had to see what happened in Virginia and the push back against his agenda. Instead of taking a step and saying maybe we ought to think about this, he’s plowing ahead with even more fervor than before. He’s clearly out of touch with mainstream America he’s trying to push his agenda against an electorate that has clearly had enough. This will not end well.
Someone should sue over the changing of rules and definitions at the drop of a hat
Touche!
Joe is sort of like a football qb these days.
He’s just running the plays that get called in on his earpiece.
The way I see it, businesses and their employees must simply refuse to comply. Don’t pay the fines. Send OSHA off to pound sand.
Uden has always been a vindictive a**hole.
The meat puppet Biden is doing what he is told.
They know this is their shot at complete power.
Stuck here in NC, a red state with a blue Governor, surrounded by red Governors now. :(
