The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals says — no mandate for you:
A federal appeals court has upheld its stay on President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for companies with at least 100 employees.
In a 22-page ruling on Friday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the mandate was “fatally flawed,” and barred the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from enforcing the mandate “pending adequate judicial review” of a motion for permanent injunction.
OSHA shall “take no steps to implement or enforce the mandate until further court order,” the ruling stated.
ADVERTISEMENTThe mandate, which was supposed to take effect Jan. 4, requires business with at least 100 employees to mandate their workers get vaccinated or undergo frequent testing.
Two predictions:
- Biden and co. will ignore the court ruling; and
- The chorus of MSM scolds will try to justify whatever Biden does. Constitutional crises are so 2020, doncha know.
This is what you get with Biden. He has made at least three major unforced errors after just 8 months in office.
First there was the border crisis, then there was the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, then the vaxx manadate (the vaxx mandate was announced Sept. 9).
Reality on the ground, as well as Biden’s absolute confidence that they were not errors, means that he cannot change course.
You can add a fourth unforced error, if you wish, and that is the choice of Kamala Harris as Biden’s VP. Biden was forced into picking Harris because he had promised to choose a black woman as his veep, and the choice was down to Harris or Abrams, and even Biden didn’t want the bucket of crazy race hatred that is Stacey Abrams.
All of these unforced errors were driven by Biden’s fecklessness. He literally could not see how his decisions could lead to bad outcomes, so he could not anticipate the need to mitigate bad outcomes. He was caught flat footed by the border crisis, the legal fouling of his vax mandate, and of course we all remember Biden’s claim that Americans would not see helicoters evacuating the Khabul embassy, and no Americans would be left behind in Afghanistan, mere hours before we saw helicopters eveacuating the Khabul embassy and days before we left behind hundreds of Americans in Afghanistan.
These unforced errors are also characterized by their multidemonsional nature. The border crisis threatens Democrat held congressional districts in border states, as well as souring relations between the feds and border state governors of both parties. The Afghan debacle shook the foundation of American foreign policy while encouraging Chinese and Russian military aggression. What will we do when the Taliban attacks American interests overseas? Invade Afghanistan again?
The vaxx mandate seems to have had little affect on the number of people vaccinated while making the labor shortage worse.
And the choice of Kamala as veep means Biden can’t resign, because then the Democrats would loose their tie-breaking vote in the senate.
This is a failed presidency.
What’s even scarier is when conservatives talk about Jimmy Carter part two, Democrats say “Carter wasn’t so bad.”
Prediction: the Dems get shellacked in the midterms, lose the House and Senate. Desperate behind the scenes kingmakers throw Biden and Harris under the bus in 2024. It’s the Republicans election to lose and they nominate Trump, who promptly drives independent voters to the Dems.
Trump’s time is past.
In his post-election behavior, and his behavior since leaving office, he has shown that he is more interested in his own fortunes in politics and showbiz than in leading the United States.
If he had had his wish, and congress had refused to certify the electoral college vote, we would have had civil war.
^ Hahaha! I am impressed. It’s always Trump’s fault to the, what’s the term again? Trump Skeptics. Even when it hasn’t yet happened.
And even when the Republicans have a record of not actually enacting anything promise. Remember “Hey! Let’s build that darn wall!”. Or not doing anything about DC corruption? Or not making Carry laws national? Or reducing spending? Or not doing anything about Democrats shitting on the Constitution? Or not doing anything about electoral fraud? Or not doing anything about DC corruption – this deserves twice as much attention? There won’t be another Republican president because any mandate the Republicans get will be pissed away.
That darn Trump. Hahahaha! Thanks for that morning laugh.
And now you’ve got CNN questioning the incompetence and dysfunction in Kamala’s office. If you’ve lost CNN…
So what do y’all think about the likelihood of Team Biden ignoring the court?
Nice post, Mr D. Just to show that I can stick to the topic (eventually), it is interesting how Democrats seem to think that laws, rules, or even just traditions, are all things that can respected or followed depending on the context. This goes all the way back to Jackson, btw.
I mean, as our most preeminent troll has demonstrated, borders might be very important in some cases, but not in others. Or how about voting integrity? Or immigration – that is, illegal immigrants? Democrats have made clear that illegal immigrants who will probably not be reliable supporters are to be shunned and sent back to their communist hellholes, but those illegal immigrants who are reliable can stay and even get elected to Congress. Sanctuary cities, don’t you know. Or prosecuting apparent pedophiles. Or paying taxes…
Pretty likely, Mr D. Why not?
Marshall had initially opposed Jackson’s election to the presidency, and in the Cherokee Indians case, Worcester v. Jackson is famous for having responded: “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” Although the comment is probably apocryphal, both Georgia and Jackson simply ignored the decision.
NW, I saw the CNN piece. The headline gave the impression they were going to toss her under the bus, but as per usual, it was clickbait. The article is gaslighting, mentions none of the colossal incompetence Kameltoe has exhibited in each and every job she was given….no mention of the disaster at the border.
The two most politically significant women in American politics (Harris & Hillary) slept their way to the top.
There is something seriously wrong with these people.
Republicans in Congress should have been fighting this, not leaving it to citizens to bring lawsuits. The fact they didn’t explains why Trump remains popular.
Flashback: the TEA Party was a reaction to Establishment Republicans failure to fight for us. Establishment Republicans hated the TEA Party, co-opted it and eventually killed it. Call them StabReps for short.
Long-time Democrat Trump won the Republican primary because voters saw him as the only viable candidate to overcome StabReps failure to fight for us. StabReps hated Trump, sabotaged him, and are still trying to kill his legacy.
Staid, conservative, hard-working, law-abiding salt-of-the-Earth Republican voters chose a loudmouth, pussy-grabbing, New York millionaire over a dozen other more traditional candidates because he was the only guy on the stage who would fight for them. That’s worth a few mean tweets.
JD, yes! I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand. And to really nail your point down, Trump didn’t even promise all that much or even do that great of a job, and he’s still popular with “[s]taid, conservative, hard-working, law-abiding salt-of-the-Earth Republican voters” because the rest of the Republican party Is Just That Bad.
The court stopping the mandate is all fine and dandy. But even if it manages to make the Biden administration backtrack and revoke the mandate, that won’t stop the private companies and corporations from continuing to invoke and/or continue to enforce their own vaccination mandates. The damage has already been done. Thanks to the absolute manipulation of mindlessly and insanely fearful population of this country and the heads of most companies who either are trying to prevent bad PR from going against the narrative, or are in full support of the narrative.
Me, in my 6:42

Once again reality agrees with me:
Texas Dem switches to Republican Party over defunding the police, ‘chaos’ on the border
State Rep. Ryan Guillen won his seat by nearly 17 points in the 2020 election/i>

At this point it is hard to tell if Biden’s unforced errors are damaging his party more than they are damaging the US.
