BREAKING: The Federal Court of Appeals just issued a temporary halt to Biden’s vaccine mandate," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted.
"Emergency hearings will take place soon. We will have our day in court to strike down Biden’s unconstitutional abuse of authority."

i hope so.the mandate is a gross overreach of OSHA workplace emergency powers
 
That was fast.

Looks like suits have also been filed in the 6th, 8th, and 11th circuits thus far.

Of course, that really doesn't mean a heck of a whole lot, since it wasn't supposed to go into effect until Jan anyway. That leaves plenty of time for the injunction to be overturned.

No real surprise. Itll go to the Supreme Court and we'll see. Its pretty clearly illegal.

I thought you libs were all about democracy and all against authoritarianism. Guess that was all just BS huh.

Let's hear your legal argument. The Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is in charge of formulating and enforcing the testing mandate (which is waved if one can show vaccination) rule. Tell us why OSHA, which sets other requirements for businesses, in accordance with law, is able to require safety equipment for private employees but not require those employees to regularly get tested for Covid?

My thinking is that the court will rule that the Governor doesn't have standing to bring a suit that affects businesses. Previous lawsuits against OSHA were filed by industry groups, such as the American Petroleum Institute, Asbestos Information Association.

the OSHA cover is an emergency provision -not normal OSHA purview of worker safety standards
If anything this would be a HHS mandate -OSHA is stretching so far it breaks
 
That was fast.

Agreed, that was very fast!
 
bunch of states are gong to challenge, It's a health policy mandate dressed up as "workplace safety"

Cool. I have enjoyed working from home for nearly two years.

Is there an authoritarian dictate that you wont defend?

Unbelievable.
quite a few issues in play.
the "COVID pill". OSHA over-reach (my posts above) and federal powers in general to mandate health vaxxes
A panel of the Food and Drug Administration's outside advisers is scheduled to meet on November 30 to weigh a potential emergency use authorization for molnupiravir, an antiviral drug developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics that recently won authorization in the United Kingdom.
Merck says its drug halved the risk that adult COVID-19 patients with underlying health conditions ended up in the hospital or died from the disease.

No, it is unbelievable that when we have a vaccine that significantly saves lives, there are actual elected officials and judges fighting against it.

No one is fighting against the vaccine. :rolleyes: People are fighting against the authoritarianism of unelected bureaucrats dictating the terms of a free peoples existence

We all knew this would happen with stacked courts and Trump judges. The good news is, the mandates for the most part have been working, causing many more people to get vaxxed. Of course, that was the intention after all.

The rest of the morons will continue to get sick and die until the herd thins itself out. Knock yourselves out anti-vaxxers. Your only hurting yourselves and your political allies.

Myself, I'll be getting my booster next week and encouraging everyone I know to do so as well.

If your not fighting the vaccine, then why all the obstruction to it. Just get it and you won't have to worry about all the supposed authoritarianism of unelected bureaucrats dictating the terms of a free peoples existence.

With freedom comes responsibility. You want freedom and no responsibility. Your right, it's not about the vaccine, it's about politics for the knuckler draggers. We've known that for a long time now.

Funny how you never complained about judges when they shot down Trumps agenda. Why dont you just admit that you believe the state should have the power to do whatever it wants and the people are just here to obey.
 
Anyone can take the vaccine but government can't force you to.
That's correct. The government is not forcing anyone to take anything. You have a choice. You can test instead. Wouldn't you even want to know if you caught the bug? The US is approaching 800,000 Covid deaths with over 100 children dying. These arguments are adolescent BS.

If you test positive those who are vaccinated supposedly h have nothing to fear so what's the point?

Well Duh, of course I didn't.

I do believe that in an emergency life or death pandemic, the government should have the right to make sure it's citizens are protected. Something that Trump could never have even conceived.

You think it's a good thing when a court actually hurts the ability to control this virus. Mind boggling.
