Opinion, Judge decides if it is legal. But you gotta bring a case before a Federal Judge.

Was thinking the same thing. This is just an opinion. We have to wait for the first big tech company to bring down this hammer to see how the courts rule on this. It’ll be the 9th circus first. Count on it.

Doesn’t matter. The Biden Regime is importing infected and vaccine refusing illegals as fast as possible and seeding them all over the USA. Makes one wonder about the all out drive to force us to get the jab.

I remember a time when the liberal left would scream “MY BODY MY CHOICE” but that was when it came to murdering your unborn baby “Get out of my uterus” they would scream..now its “Jab this into your arm if you like it or not”

DOJ doens’t have the authority or ability to do that?

That’s up to the courts.

Shipping all the illegals here is about two things, turning America into a one party state and also forcing everyone to be vaccinated, that is why the commie media is lock step with blaming the right..they cant mention the illegals because they have been told not to..all part of the plan..seems to be working perfectly

The DOJ has no authority to declare any action to be legal. They can issue any opinion they want. Let's see if they can convince the courts.

First:

AN EMERGENCY SITUATION MUST BE DECLARED.

Has that happened?

The Federal government lost all claims to authority involving workplace safety related to COVID when they facilitated millions of unvetted and untreated illegal aliens crossing the border.

In addition to loss of jurisdiction due to conflict of interest, the Federal government is also a co-defendant in the suits.

Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution clearly says that in an emergency, anything goes. And if you like your Fuhrer, you can keep your Fuhrer.

hercuroc :" : "“Emergency use”...get used to the phrase.
(from the news source): " In the opinion , the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel says the law concerning emergency use authorizations (EUAs)
"does not prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccine requirements, even when the only vaccines available are those authorized under EUAs."

Therefore, unless ruled on by a Federal judge, the opinion has no legal standing.
It remains 'the opinion' of DOJ Legal Counsel; has no legal standing.

We have been living in a state of emergency for almost 20 years.

Lawyers in the DOJ, or anywhere else for that matter, can opinionate on anything they like. And, guv’mt can force its workers to comply. As to me, F888 off!

DOJ is FOS. Only a judge can issue such an opinion which of course could be challenged all the way up to the Supremes.
