6th Circuit Delivers Another Body Blow to Biden’s OSHA Vax Mandate
There have been a multitude of lawsuits over the vaccine mandate. By lottery selection, the Sixth Circuit Court was chosen to handle the a consolidated case on the OSHA mandate.
The government filed suit to have the case moved. The reason for such a suit is because the Sixth Circuit is seated in Cincinnati and serves four states square in the American heartland (Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, and Kentucky). Justices nominated by Republican presidents outnumber Democrat nominees 10–6.
Basically, the government wanted to court shop to find a court they felt would be more amenable to their illegal vaccine mandate.
Yet again, the Xiden administration lost their request.
On November 3, the court responded:
The Court hereby DENIES the motions to transfer the matter to the Fifth Circuit (Dkt. 95) and the D.C. Circuit (Dkt. 213).
Further, the Court stated:
Given the Governments pending motion, the motions to stay the agency’s ruling and related motions … are hereby DENIED AS MOOT.
So far, the courts have prevented the Xiden administration in imposing the illegal mandate.
