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.
Lawless bastards!
Guess who the businesses are more afraid of.
So the White House just told a bunch of private sector businesses to defy a Federal Court.

The proposals, according to summaries issued by the House and Senate, include ensuring workers can receive exemptions from employer-required vaccinations; preventing government employers from requiring workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19; reinforcing the state’s so-called “Parents Bill of Rights” law to shield schoolchildren from mask and vaccination mandates; moving toward withdrawing from federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversight; and prohibiting the state surgeon general from forcing people to be vaccinated.

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.
Throughput the Trump years, the left’s refrain was “nobody is above the law.” What lying, two-face, privileged b***ards they are.
Totalitarian oppression and means this presidency is lawless and should not be followed.
Civil disobedience - now.

One J6 man has escaped to Belarus and sought asylum.
Did they even respond to the 5th circuit?
I would love to see the court put out a bench warrant and have the US Marshals haul the appropriate individual to their court to explain by what authority they think they can disregard a injunction by the court.
We are not a nation of laws.
We are a nation of lawyers.
Who in hell do they think they are?
Yeah, i saw that. I wonder if he didn’t jump from the frying pan into the fire with that move.
