Republican governors threaten to sue over Biden’s sweeping vaccine mandates
Washington Post ^ | 9/10/2021 | Annabelle Timsit and Bryan Pietsch

Biden took a newly antagonistic tone in his address Thursday in outlining his plan to mandate inoculation for employees and contractors, as well as health-care workers in facilities that treat patients on Medicare or Medicaid. Biden aims to require businesses with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccinations or test their employees weekly.

Republican governors from Texas to Missouri and Georgia threatened to fight back. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called the mandates “an assault on private businesses” and said the state is “already working to halt this power grab.” Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon said he asked his state’s attorney general “to stand prepared to take all actions to oppose this administration’s unconstitutional overreach of executive power,” and South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem said, “See you in court.” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the group “will sue the administration to protect Americans and their liberties.”

Biden, for his part, seemed unconcerned about escalating political tensions. “A distinct minority of Americans — supported by a distinct minority of elected officials — are keeping us from turning the corner,” he said. “These pandemic politics … are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. … If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way.”

I’m sure everyone has noticed these “sweeping” and “necessary” mandates exempt the millions on welfare.

I see frequent headlines about republicans suing over this and that. Has anyone noticed that the courts have been stacked with democratic operatives for the last 50 years or so? Filing a lawsuit to stop the match of leftism in America today is much like asking the devil to turn down the heat in hell. You can ask but you’ll just get laughed at.

Begging a leftist judge to set aside a policy instituted by a radical leftist President is just beating your head against the wall. Courts are political entities today, any notion of them being neutral arbiters of the law went out a long time ago.

What’s required is a constitutional convention of states to neuter this thing called the federal (government?) which should not even exist except for national defense and for which on that account does not exist. Start over at zero on the whole fed think wipe the board.

There is no “threaten.”
There is only “do.”

Also what’s required is a time machine to go back 20 years so I can get together with Penelope Cruz.

Thankfully, my odds are far better.

I have read several places that Delta is breaking out more in the vaxed than unvaxed. If the unvaxed don’t have Delta how are they spreading it to the vaxed people?
I think a large portion of the vaxed think they are now immune since they have taken the vax so guards are let down and they catch it.
I personally know of several people that flew here from Taiwan to get their shots. They they go sightseeing etc while here.

When they get home they come down with Covid. I’ve tried to explain to them that the shot does not CURE Covid to no avail.

Does anyone look at all this and not recognize a coup?

There was no resistance.. the enemy sat among them.. the coup took place in one day.

They took out our elected President and put in their half a person, and he is the puppet for the power behind the coup.

There still is no resistance in the republican ranks.

But citizens are whopping angry!!.

I would never have believed the enemy could take over so easily and no one stop them..
Just put a good man in, and their spirits of evil take him out.

It was too easy!

This is all a pathetic attempt by Biden to deflect attention fro the smoking hole in the ground disaster that is Afghanistan.

“Has anyone noticed that the courts have been stacked with democratic operatives for the last 50 years or so? “

That’s true. But quietly PDJT seated several judges during his FIRST term. They might come through for us. (But re SCOTUS ... who knows? It’s more a social club than anything else now.)

Agreed but the problem is the same people in the middle of the fight for liberty will be on the convention boards. If you don't think the America haters, Communists, Marxists, and Soros plants won't be the majority on the convention board then I think you need to re-think this desire.

Somebody needs to do something!! If I have to get tested EVERY ONE has to get tested- vaccinated STILL GET IT AND STILL SPREAD IT. But I guess that’s ok? And if don’t test vaccinated we can ‘prove’ unvaccinated are villain scapegoats?
