The White House on Monday said businesses should move forward with President Joe Biden’s vaccine and testing requirements for private businesses, despite a federal appeals court ordering a temporary halt to the rules.
“People should not wait,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a briefing. “They should continue to move forward and make sure they’re getting their workplace vaccinated.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, considered one of the most conservative appellate courts in the country, halted the requirements Saturday pending review, writing that “the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate.”
The Biden administration has until Monday evening to respond.
The court-ordered pause came a day after the requirements went into effect, starting the countdown for businesses with 100 or more employees to ensure their staff have received the shots required for full vaccination by Jan. 4. After that date, unvaccinated workers must submit a negative Covid-19 test weekly to enter the workplace. All unvaccinated workers must start wearing face masks indoors at their workplaces starting Dec. 5.
The Republican attorneys general in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah, as well as several companies, requested the pause. They argue that the requirements exceed the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which will enforce the mandates, and amount to an unconstitutional delegation of power to the executive branch by Congress.
Republican attorneys general in at least 26 states have challenged Biden’s vaccine and testing requirements in five different U.S. appeals courts since last Friday. The Republican National Committee said it has also challenged the requirements in the D.C. Court of Appeals.
true, Biden the bh0 hand puppet.
Hopefully a list of the companies that comply with this poopy Pants dictate are exposed. They’re not following the law.
I will not starve. I know how to garden and provide for myself. They can all go suck eggs with Brandon.
This is why we have the balance of power because if there was no power to counter Biden, he would indeed be a tyrant. He can’t help himself. I wonder if he would purge like Stalin if there was no one to stop him?
***
Which branch of govt would stop Biden? The court said to stop and the president said to go. Who will stop Brandon?
The people? The military? white hat?
The jcourt should hold them in contempt and order them into jail.
And all woke businesses are like “Sir, yes sir! President Fartmeister!”
And those who trust facebook etc. won't be aware of how they died.
I’m sure that we’ll see a massive, well organized, protest led by those in Congress!!!!!!
...oh...wait...
There’s that talking White House again.

. . . and yet, still, the lawless incontinent one remains unimpeached.
Ignoring a court injunction means Biden is operating outside the law. Legally Biden should no longer have qualified immunity to protect him from legal suits. People *should* be able to personally sue Biden for any legal relief.
Who in hell do they think they are?
We already know. The question is who are we? Gutless conformists or Americans that fight tyranny?
That’s impeacheable, but he gets a free pass.
When the rulers are lawless, expect the citizens to follow suit.
Darn that Trump, he was such a fascist autocrat. /s
I was in the grocery store earlier and I spied the newspapers on my way out, stopping to view the entire front page of each.
Not a ONE had a story about the ‘stay’.
Shocked, I tell ya. /s
Just more proof that Obambi and his minions are really in charge. Back when Obambi was in the front seat, a Federal Judge ruled that the ban on drilling in Federal areas was unconstitutional. The Judge ordered it stopped. The next day Obambi just wrote a ‘new’ Executive Order with the same language as the the first one. Rules, regulations, and laws are for others.
Openly defying court orders should be grounds for removal.
Can the courts also sentence him due to this.
