I’ve been saying it’s unconstitutional since this administration first issued its OSHA vaccine mandate.

The government cannot make your medical decisions for you. It’s that simple. https://t.co/8UXs8c9bYf

Bloomberg reports, “A divided U.S. Supreme Court blocked the centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s push to get more people vaccinated amid a Covid-19 surge, rejecting an Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule that would have required 80 million workers to get shots or periodic tests.”

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports, “A federal judge in Kentucky issued a preliminary injunction effectively blocking implementation of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal government contractors and subcontractors on Tuesday.

This is an important first step in ending the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional mandate on private businesses. Thank you @DanielCameronAG for being an advocate for liberty in the courts! https://t.co/Pw1BemjM21

U.S. District Judge Gregory F. Van Tatenhove, who serves the Eastern District of Kentucky, issued the opinion and order Tuesday afternoon. It came in response to a challenge from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who joined many other state attorneys general in challenging the mandate. ‘This is not a case about whether vaccines are effective. They are,’ Van Tatenhove wrote. ‘Nor is this a case about whether the government, at some level, and in some circumstances, can require citizens to obtain vaccines. It can.’

He said that the question before him was a narrow one: whether or not Biden had the authority to impose vaccines on the employees of federal contractors and subcontractors. ‘In all likelihood, the answer to that question is no,’ Van Tatenhove wrote.”

The Washington Post reports, “A federal judge in Missouri has partially halted another one of the Biden administration’s key vaccine requirements, temporarily blocking the imposition of a rule for certain health-care workers in 10 states.

Federal judge blocks Biden vaccine mandate as “arbitrary and capricious.” Ruling states that “Congress did not clearly authorize [Medicare] to enact this politically and economically vast, federalism-altering, and boundary-pushing mandate…https://t.co/giE84SySS6

The Biden administration issued the vaccine mandate, for health-care workers at facilities that received funding from Medicare and Medicaid, in early November through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It was estimated to apply to some 1.7 million workers at 76,000 facilities across the country, including hospitals and nursing homes.

But in a 32-page ruling issued on Monday in St. Louis, U.S. District Judge Matthew T. Schelp, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, said that a preliminary injunction to halt the rule was warranted because he believed the arguments made by the plaintiffs — 10 mostly Republican-dominated states — that the CMS lacked authority to implement the requirement, probably had merit.”

Breitbart News reports, “Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on Tuesday decried House Democrats killing an investigation into U.S. military gear abandoned in Afghanistan following President Joe Biden’s deadly evacuation.

Every single Democrat on the House Oversight Committee just voted against my amendment to track down the military equipment seized by the Taliban

— Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) September 2, 2021

‘Every single Democrat on the committee voted against this measure,’ Mace exclusively told Breitbart News.

Today, I introduced an amendment to investigate just how many of our military assets are now in the hands of the Taliban. How could anyone oppose this? pic.twitter.com/Q3JfPkYOvE

‘I don’t know how you vote against this,’ she added about the Democrat members of the House Oversight committee who asserted Mace’s amendment was ‘out of order’ and voted to block the measure. The amendment would have redirected $25 million from the Government Accountability Office to the Department of Defense Inspector General to aid in ‘tracking and recouping military equipment seized by the Taliban.”
