We the people are not members of the executive branch, so how can he dictate to us but not citizens who are part of the legislative branch? You didn’t think this through.

Executive Orders are -- as the name suggests -- Orders issued by the President that are binding only on employees within the Executive Branch. So those don't apply to ordinary citizens, or to Congress, or to the Judiciary.

The mandatory vaccines for private citizens aren't being done via Executive Order, but via a new emergency rule that OSHA will be issuing at some point in the coming weeks. It hasn't happened yet (which is why no lawsuits have yet been filed) but as soon as it does happen, they'll be a ton filed. All we actually need is just one federal judge to issue an injunction, and it will stop nationwide.

Then that favorable ruling (and we can lose 10 others and it doesn't matter) goes up to appeal. If it wins there, then there's no need for the Supremes to take it on an emergency basis if they agree with the result because the injunction will remain in place. If our side loses at the Court of Appeals, then it likely will be heard on an expedited basis by the Supreme Court.

Do you understand the concept of separation of powers? The executive branch cannot dictate to the legislative branch.
