On Saturday, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit temporarily blocked Joe Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate on businesses with more than 100 employees. White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said he’s confident that the mandate will eventually be held up and promised that the Biden administration would fight for the mandate, which was set to take effect in January.
“I’m quite confident that when this finally gets fully adjudicated, not just a temporary order, the validity of this requirement will be upheld,” Klain said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “If OSHA can tell people to wear a hard hat on the job, to be careful around chemicals, it could put in place these simple measures to keep our workers safe.”
Klain may be acting confident, but, as I said in September, Biden’s mandate is a red herring that will inevitably fail to pass constitutional muster in the courts. The Biden administration most certainly knows that the vaccine mandate won’t hold up. They previously recognized their lack of authority to impose a vaccine mandate. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier this summer that vaccine mandates are “not the role” of the federal government. “Well, I think the question here — one, that’s not the role of the federal government,” she said on July 23, offering no exception to this assessment. “That is the role that institutions, private-sector entities, and others may take. That certainly is appropriate.”

Why not to the death?
That’s what’s in the future, anyway.
The Biden Administration is illegitimate.
It is the bulwark of a communist takeover.

The global fight over vaccines mandates can only now be described as fascist political theater.
People are starting to understand the vaccine does not stop the spread of Covid, the vax can have serious side-effects, it is being forced on groups who have incredibly low mortality from Covid, and effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing serious illness seems to wane anyway after 4-5 months.
In the meantime this utterly unconstitutional act should be ignored and nullified and continue to be nullified even if it is not overturned.
The CONSTITUTION, not Biden, or the Court, is the SUPREME law of the Land (U.S. Const., Art. VI, Cl. 2).
Fight all you want but there needs to be an immediate “stay”to this nonsense.
“...Which Is Exactly What It Wants...”
Of course!
The ‘virus’ is doing just exactly what they planned! The stranglehold it gives the ‘government’ over us, is not something they’re willing to surrender!

There is only way to stop the international pfascists.
Nuremberg trials for all Big Pharma Boards of Directors, senior execs and politicians all over the world pushing this insane human rights abuse.
Then firing squads—mandatory.
Let the lawyers debate after the firing squads have done their work.
If you want another Civil War this is the way to get it.
Just keep pushing.
FJB!
Long fight against the constitution?
Basically nearly all indications even from the highly questionable statistics on sites such as World-o-meter indicate that the prevalent Delta variant is receding. In two more months there will be no more “need” for a vaccine mandate.
The only thing that has caused this to drag this out this long are the experimental “vaccines”. For proof look at the charts of India. The Delta variant hit there in April by the end of June it was basically over. If it were not for the effect that the vaccines had... it would have been over here months ago as well. The vaccines do not prevent getting Covid or transmitting Covid, but they do mess up peoples’ immune systems and mask symptoms.

Yes, but what “new” Greek lettered variant will they scare us with next?
As long as the injunction stays in -lace who cares how long the legal battle takes.
Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley thinks that will ultimately doom the mandate. “Courts will now be asked to ignore the admission and uphold a self-admitted evasion of constitutional limits,” Turley told Fox News in September. The “problem is that the thing being ‘worked around’ is the Constitution.”
“Klain effectively became a witness for the challengers in labeling the order an evasion or subterfuge designed for the courts. Klain leaves the courts in the unenviable position of ratifying an order that the administration admits is a mere work around to evade constitutional limits. It is akin to claiming self-defense in an assault case while saying that it was the best way to shoot the guy,” Turley added.
So, why fight hard for a mandate that is doomed? Sure, it’s always possible that, should the Supreme Court ultimately take up the issue, it could rule in favor of the blatantly unconstitutional mandate. Still, I think the Biden administration thinks it’s found a topic to distract the public from its many failings.
Constitutional or not, a recent Gallup poll suggests that a majority of the public supports Biden’s mandate. A stunning 58 percent favor requiring private businesses with 100 or more employees to have their employees vaccinated or be tested weekly. Biden may lose in the courts, but a long fight over the mandate could serve as an issue to restore his public approval ratings. His Build Back Better agenda isn’t even popular with the public, so the Biden administration may see the vaccine mandate as their ticket to restoring Biden’s image. Whether it will work remains to be seen. Still, given Biden’s gross incompetence as president, his administration likely sees majority support as something they have to fight for, even if it’s doomed.
Thanks.
“Yes, but what “new” Greek lettered variant will they scare us with next?”
We should get to name the amorphous bugs as they are invented out of thin air. Like we have new gender inclusive names for Hurricanes. Let’s not be Racist and choose dead white man greek letters. How about culturally appropriate names?
For a new bug in the Philippines they could call the variant the “Jollibee”?
For Vietnam maybe “Love You Long Time”.
Not the Biden Administration, the Deep State. The One World Government assholes.
Right. Because putting on a hard hat is exactly like forcing people to get injected with a chemical that has undergone no testing for side-effects past about one year.
