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.
well, you are somebody.....
Is it me or does anyone find this highly highly suspicious? Get the vaccine or lose your job while at the same time they are flooding the country with illegals who do not have to get the vaccine.
This sounds like some Sci-fi thriller where the government kills off the populace and sends in replacements.
Remember, these same leftists exactly this time last year were against anyone getting the vaccine.
So, let’s pretend a Trump rule was halted by a federal court and his team said people should do it anyway.
How long would it be before impeachment?
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Trump were to start keeping a very public accounting of such things, and announcing all through the Biden Administration, “I plan to be re-elected in 2024, and I will push proposals that will be shut down by the courts. But I will go forward anyway, ignoring the courts. They don’t stop Joe, and they won’t stop me.”
If not, the 5Th should simply rule for a permanent injunction and put the entire matter to rest for good.
I guess they REALLY do want a real insurrection.
Keep pushing mfers.
In a just country the court would find those going against a court order in contempt.
States have ignored FEDERAL marijuana laws. It's way past time for states to ignore this crap as well.
Absolutely.
Once again promoting law breaking, like entering the U.S. illegally.
Always accuse others of what they do.
Of all the ____s who fantasize that they are 'running' the White Hospice, this one, THIS ONE, should be held in Contempt and put in solitary, where she can keep pretending that she is anything more than a errand girl, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
The Buck Fiden adm is bound and determined to get their deadly bioweapon into every American, even ignoring a court ordered stay to do so. DANGER!
See tag.
FJB
Yet another IMPEACHABLE offense!!!
“Interesting, I didn’t know they could withdraw.”
Neither did I. If Florida does it, that might open the gates for other states.
They would have impeached Trump for this!
They would have impeached Trump for this!
These American Marxists get away with contempt of court? Whoverer released that directive...GET THE NAME.......The judge needs to clap them in irons for 60 days.
Don’t forget he is the first President to threaten his countrymen with nukes and F-15s. We are living in a New Brave World.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Remember the movie, “ They shoot horses don’t they?”
I think we are verging on a presidential remake.
