EXCLUSIVE: All 50 Senate Republicans on Wednesday morning are expected to formally challenge the Biden administration’s vaccine rule for private businesses under the Congressional Review Act – the official process for Congress to eliminate an executive branch rule.
GOP Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana will lead all 49 of his Senate Republican colleagues, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in moving to strike down the Biden administration’s rule which mandates employees at private businesses with 100 workers or more to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4 or be subject to weekly testing and mask-wearing.
"President Biden’s vaccine mandate is an unconstitutional invasion of what should be a personal medical decision for every American and an affront to the rights of 80 million American workers," Braun told Fox News. "Today, my Republican colleagues and I will formally challenge this federal overreach, and I urge the Senate to vote in favor of this disapproval resolution when it comes to the Floor for a filibuster-proof, simple-majority vote in early December."
The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) COVID-19 vaccine rule, which is set to impact roughly 84 million employees, was formally introduced earlier this month. The rule also requires that employers provide paid time for employees to get vaccines and mandates that all unvaccinated employees wear a face mask in the workplace.

Typical. Now that a court, and even OSHA themselves walked the mandate back, the spineless ones are playing “me too” again.
Hey, wait for us.......... to lead you.....
Complete list of the GOP Senators up in 2022:
Roy Blunt (Missouri) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Boozman (Arkansas)
Richard Burr (North Carolina) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Mike Crapo (Idaho)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
John Hoeven (North Dakota)
Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)
John Kennedy (Louisiana)
James Lankford (Oklahoma)
Mike Lee (Utah)
Jerry Moran (Kansas)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Rob Portman (Ohio) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Marco Rubio (Florida)
Tim Scott (South Carolina)
Richard Shelby (Alabama) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
John Thune (South Dakota)
Patrick Toomey (Pennsylvania) Has announced he will retire at end of term.
Todd Young (Indiana)
Toomey, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Shelby are leaving, which helps, but there are a lot of them to primary.
Rubio and Hoeven are Amnesty Senators.
The only ones worthy of re-election are Johnson, Paul and Kennedy.
The rest are Assistant Democrats.
And here comes Mitch trying to plant his flag in front of OSHAs surrender.
I was going to say “About time!”
I don’t believe Johnson has made a decision yet on another term
Americans DEMAND Decimation of the GOP.
THEY ARE EVIL and ALLOW EVIL and TREASON and SEDITION.
GOP =Weak Sauce...
This ploy is just virtue signaling for votes. The House will never pass the CRA, and if they did, Brandon would be told to veto it. House and Senate could not override it. Has this CRA tactic ever been successfully used to repeal an administrative rule?
A bunch of REMFs coming for the victory parade.
Pathetic.
Now that the fifth circuit has ruled and other cases have gone to the sixth circuit court the politicians have found their gonads but their manhood and patriotism are still missing.
I hate them all. They are gutless worms.
Dick Shelby, in Alabama, is trying to hand pick his successor. That is just wrong. The senate seat is not his to give. It belongs to the people of Alabama. So Ms. Britt needs to go away. She is just a horrible choice. Just my opinion.
There is a young man running in AR named “Bessette” who seems much better than the incumbent Senator.
Oh look, it’s the Rip Van Winkle gang.
I for one sure hope Ron Johnson runs again. He originally said he would only run 2 terms. But we desperately need him.
He’s been leading edge on the VAERS and all the untold damages the shots have been.
He’s much needed in our great nation.
I see this as an attempt to make the current cases moot. If the rule is reversed by the congress then there is no reason to continue the cases. This means that the USSC will not get to declare that OSHA doesn’t have the constitutional authority to make rules involving medical issues and that they must narrow all rules to specific dangers and specific work environment.
They need to vote in favor of a Nuremberg 2.0 trial for the pfascists—at a site and location to be named later.
lol...my exact same thoughts...
Always some angle to twist the law ad preserve the power of the giverment.
This is good, but they also need to stand up for the military, federal civilians and contractors.
