Biden makes an end-run around Americans' rights

Because of President Biden’s strict vaccine mandate, Americans are giving up their jobs, military heroes are facing dishonorable discharges, cities are losing desperately-needed first responders, already-strained hospitals and businesses are facing even worse staff shortages, unions are filing lawsuits, the supply chain is breaking down, and it’s rumored that resistance by airline pilots is largely responsible for hundreds of flights being canceled. All of that chaos is caused by the President’s wrongheaded and authoritarian actions that even he once swore he’d never take.

But for all the suffering and turmoil Biden is causing with his dictatorial vaccine mandate policy, one question remains: Where exactly is that policy?

It doesn’t actually exist. At least not in any official form. He said he was going to order OSHA to make such a policy, but he’s yet to sign an executive order, so OSHA has yet to make the rule, and all these businesses are just enforcing what they anticipate OSHA might tell them to do. As Joy Pullman at the Federalist observes, there is no policy or order or OSHA rule: there’s nothing but press statements.

The legality of this all gets very tricky. The White House is treating this as an “emergency temporary standard,” but those can be challenged in court, and only one of the 10 ETS’s that have been issued in the past 50 years has been upheld. Once it’s actually issued, the lawsuits will hit, so we’re currently seeing all this upheaval due to nothing but a press announcement of Biden’s intention to issue an order to OSHA to make a rule that would likely be overturned in court.

In short, we have a complicated system in place to defend Americans’ rights, and this White House is doing an end-run around it and employers are just going along with it. We’ll see how long they continue to go along if the resistance to it among a large number of their employees continues to hold…

And if entire states refuse to play ball.

Whether you favor vaccine mandates or not, you should hope that this effort to exert such extreme control over American citizens and private businesses without constitutional authority fails because if it succeeds, imagine what other freedoms we’ll soon lose based on nothing more than a threatening press release.

    These mandates are illegal and Unconstitutional!
    What’s next? When you hear the cymbals bow down to the 99 foot statue of dictator Biden?
    If you don’t you will be thrown into the furnace.
    If you think this is far fetched look at the Jews and other “undesirable “ WWII
    Now sadly Germany is repeating itself with the whole world with it.

    I'm sorry, Governor, but I've gotten to the point where I can't even read your articles (I skim them, but can't digest all the bad news) anymore. I'm a veteran who retired from the Air Force when Clinton was in office; I retired because I refused to take an oath while he was president. That said, I'm now a retired civilian who has been around long enough to be sickened by what's happening to our country--one that I took an oath to defend--and how the left continue to get away with murder--perhaps not just figuratively. Joe Biden has no business in the White House and he's ruining our nation; perhaps unknowingly, or perhaps intentionally (while being driven by his influencers who bury his corruption). I recognize that God is in control, but I fear that God has had enough with the perversion that has overran America and that we who are alive today are going to see, and feel, his wrath. I admire your ability to put a smile on, regardless; however, in my condition, I'm unable to do the same.

    Biden’s executive order has “guidance” that all future contracts requires that the contractor has a vaccinated workforce. So my company Bell Helicopter has more than 50% of its business with government contracts and is competing for the Blackhawk replacement that will be determined next summer. As a result, employees must be vaccinated by December 10th or they will be terminated. Religious and medical exemptions are not guaranteed and will be determined by committee.

    So if your company does any business with the government then you will be required to vaccinate.

    Just so you know that the mandate is real and it will soon be applied across the board. Do not be surprised when you too are faced with get vaccinated or be fired.

    And I have been vaccinated since the spring so this is not an anti vax message. But I have never seen our government force citizens to have a medical treatment against their will or you will lose your ability to earn a living. And that send chills up my spine.
