It was recently reported by the ConservativeBrief that Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and three companies have officially requested that the U.S. Supreme Court stay the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates for private businesses with 100 or more employees.
Three companies — Phillips Manufacturing & Tower Company, Sixarp LLC, and Oberg Industries LLC — filed an emergency application for an injunction on Friday, saying the Biden administration is pursuing unlimited federal executive power in the vaccine mandate for private businesses.
This move could be bad for the Biden administration given the Supreme Court has slapped down Biden’s mandates several times already.
“There is no dispute among the parties about the common desire to end the scourge of the COVID-19 pandemic,” reads the application. “The arguments advanced by the Executive Branch admit to no cognizable limits on federal executive power.”
“Frustrated with a minority of Americans’ medical choices, the Executive Branch has attempted to control and surveil the vaccination schedules of enormous swaths of the country’s population,” the application added.
Meanwhile, the vaccine mandate will also jeopardize the companies’ already struggling recruitment efforts, the three applicants said in the application.
Schmitt also asked SCOTUS to stay the Biden administration’s sweeping vaccine mandate.
“This was always destined to go to the nation’s highest court and I’ll continue to fight back against this breathtaking overreach,” he wrote in a Twitter post.about:blank
Last week, a federal appeals panel reinstated the rule requiring larger companies to mandate that their workers get vaccinated.
“The record establishes that Covid-19 has continued to spread, mutate, kill and block the safe return of American workers to their jobs,” wrote Judge Jane B. Stranch. “To protect workers, OSHA can and must be able to respond to dangers as they evolve.”
The White House applauded the ruling.
