Some good news!
Appeals court says U.S. cannot mandate federal contractor COVID vaccines
A U.S. appeals court on Monday said the White House could not require federal contractors to ensure that their workers are vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of government contracts.
About time!
The court said Biden wanted it “to ratify an exercise of proprietary authority that would permit him to unilaterally impose a healthcare decision on one-fifth of all employees in the United States. We decline to do so.”
Over-reach of power. Good thing a court saw right threw it.
The majority opinion written by Judge Kurt Engelhardt said a broad interpretation of the law could give Biden “nearly unlimited authority to introduce requirements into federal contracts.”
And an example of that would be?
Illustrating that point, he added, “hypothetically, the president could mandate that all employees of federal contractors reduce their BMI (body mass index) below a certain number on the theory that obesity is a primary contributor to unhealthiness and absenteeism.”
Or that all employees are part of a union, or the company has to be woke, or the company has to be a declared 100% dem donor, etc.
Graves disputed the BMI comparison, saying if a president sought to impose “draconian measures outside the mainstream of American companies, he or she would hear from the people or from Congress.”
And he did. How many people and governors raised their voices over the lockdowns and forced jabs?
Guess that fact was lost on them when those draconian measures were happening.
