Why a Federal Vaccine Mandate is UNCONSTITUTIONAL - Sekulow TV
The ACLJ is representing the Heritage Foundation in a new lawsuit challenging the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for employers. The mandate has been promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and applies to all employers with 100 or more employees, regardless of whether they work remotely. After OSHA issued this mandate, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal temporarily blocked it. However, all legal challenges have been consolidated at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and President Biden has vowed to continue fighting to implement the mandate. The cases could ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow laid out exactly what the ACLJ is challenging in this lawsuit: "It’s a very narrow and specific challenge. . . . We are challenging the constitutionality of the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to actually enforce this mandate. We think that is an encroachment on federalism grounds, separation of powers allocated to the states. The states can do these kinds of things, but the federal government can’t. OSHA has previously said they can’t. . . . Constitutionally, they don’t have the authority to do it. . . . They knew they didn’t have the authority to do this, by the way. They knew that early on. But the politics of it made them do it. These cases have all been consolidated in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. What is going to happen is the ultimate arbiter of this is the Supreme Court. . . . By the way, the state government has the authority to do these kinds of things . . . but the federal government coming in does not." Our Constitution entrusts these decisions to the States. This balance of power was adopted by the Framers to protect fundamental liberties and reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse. It is an honor to be able to represent The Heritage Foundation, one of the foremost conservative organizations in the country, in their first lawsuit. We will continue to provide you with updates on our legal efforts concerning this case.
