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.
Get bent.
Depends on how the question is worded. When the question includes "should the government force people to vax against their will" the approval is below 50% ... for now.
How is this not contempt of court?
On January 20, 2021 Joe Biden pledged before the world: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
He has been unfaithful, knowingly, defiantly, repeatedly, refusing to execute the laws passed by the legislative branch, defying the rulings of the judicial branch. He is trying to usurp the authority of both and elevate the executive above them. This puts him in (repeated) violation of his oath.
Impeach 46.
I don’t know about that?
By the way they are telling businesses to ignore a Federal Court order the Administration probably feels they don’t have to respond.
I’m not saying this is the case, but I would not be surprised if that is what happens.
In reality they probably know what they are doing is 100% illeagal.
withdrawing from federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversight.

Interesting, I didn’t know they could withdraw.
That's not Biden. That's the Kenyan behind the curtain.
These people are out of control. Breaking laws at will. Act accordingly.
Understand those comments and that threat. Anyone can use them as self defense against the FedGov. The President of the US threatened military action.
In a few years down the line, the people who have gotten the jabs will start contracting various sicknesses that will ultimately lead to their deaths. It’s all about population control.
Fascist dictator intent on destroying democracy. For real this time.
YOUR LEADERS COMRADE.
OR YOUR DEATH
YOUR MOVE
They're communists...it's what they do.
Meanwhile, what does the GOP tell businesses? Nothing. The Biden admin is free to continue their assault without substantive opposition.
Red States need to be pulling contracts from corporations supportive of the progressive agenda. This is a war and only one side is fighting.
They are doing the usual brute force thing. The emergency, grave risk rule isn’t “mandatory” until January 4, 2022, and pretty much the government is bluffing that it expects to win in court.
As a matter of law, the OSHA rule is in limbo, and on paper, for all we know, the court endorses it.
US Supreme Court held that the federal government can compel people to buy a product (health insurance), so not a stretch to speculate the court system will decide the better policy is to have the federal government in charge of vax mandates. I don’t think the 5th circuit will decide that way, but the circuit courts are not the ultimate decider.
I would like to see this Deputy Press Secretary forced into jail for Contempt of Court pending compliance.
contempt of court
obstruction of justice
felony stupid
People considering these shots need to see AIDS patients and recognize the future.
We have a LAWLESS, CRIMINAL, EVIL and ANTI American Regime in DC now
IT MUST BE DESTROYED or it will destroy us......
Remember they described the OSHA action as a “work around” the fact they have no constitutional or statutory right to do this. Now they recommend the “work around” of just blowing off a federal court order.
Honestly, the whole administration is chock full of top grade imbeciles. Appellate court justices read the paper, too, you morons. By this defiant act They’re just begging the court to turn the temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction that will last through the trial of the case
