The Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will hold a special hearing on January 7 regarding the legality of Biden’s vaccine mandates on healthcare workers and private businesses with over 100 employees.
The decision follows a series of different rulings in lower courts. As previously reported by Human Events News, a federal judge in Missouri issued a preliminary injunction Monday blocking Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors in 10 states.
U.S. Magistrate Judge David Noce said the mandate extended beyond Biden’s authority to set workplace rules, Just the News reports.
The cases were rushed to the Supreme Court due to the time-sensitive nature of Biden’s mandates. More than 17 million healthcare workers and private businesses with over 100 employees are required to be vaccinated by January 4.
The cases against a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers – State of Louisiana et al. v. Xavier Becerra, Sec. of HHS, et al. and Joseph Biden, President of U.S., et al. v. Missouri, et al. – were brought to Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh. The healthcare worker's cases were consolidated and will receive one hour total for arguments.
Two cases against Biden's business mandate were brought to Justice Kavanagh, who combined the cases and allotted one hour for arguments.
