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.
Told ya. They will ignore ANYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST THEIR AGENDA!!! America is done, finished, toast.
Notice the MSM, even fox, is radio silent on this?
No question that remedy ignored is another remedy comming and it ain’t gonna be pretty.
courts....jo don’t need no stinking courts.
it’s also why we have certain amendments.....
Imagine if Trump did something like this? Just goes to show this is not about Covid, it’s about control, pure and simple. Biden needs to be arrested, charged with denying a court ordered action.
question is how many will continually take “booster” shots?
Why not, the SCOTUS ordered your administration to reinstate remain in Messy-co asylum policy and you’ve totally ignored a court order.
If their businesses are running just fine...despite an occasional positive test...which they deal with...there is no reason for their employees to get this EXPEIMENTAL “shot” which does NOT prevent Covid.

Have you noticed the laws don’t apply to what democrats want. If a conservative said to ignore an appeals court they would be screaming .
Businesses should tell Foe to GJYS.
That Trump guy is a fascist dictator.
Oh, wait....
many thanks!
I have been expecting the present regime to flagrantly ignore the courts when ruled against. If this one stands it will be ratcheted up rapidly to more serious cases and we will start hearing “for the good of the people” excuses or “Separation of Powers” means we don’t have to do what the courts say.
“...A pattern of tyranny is emerging.”
Lots of us have been watching it, uh, “emerge” since Reagan left Office. It’s been a work in progress, I’ll say; fraught with all the convulsions of a chihuahua trying to pass a peach pit.
