White House chief of staff Ronald Klain offered a doozy this week when he admitted that the announced use of the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for a vaccine mandate was a mere “work around” of the constitutional limit imposed on the federal government. The problem is that the thing being “worked around” is the Constitution. Courts will now be asked to ignore the admission and uphold a self-admitted evasion of constitutional protections.
The “work around” was needed because, as some of us have previously during both the Trump and Biden Administration, the federal government does not have clear authority to impose public health mandates. Authority for such mandates has traditionally been recognized within state authority. Make no mistake about it.
This is a clever move to use the OSHA as the vehicle for the mandate to avoid the federalism issues of a direct mandate.
President Joe Biden has been ping ponging on the issue for over a year in first suggesting that he could impose a national mandate and then admitting that he probably could not. Ironically, this move comes on the same day that Attorney General Merrick Garland denounced the “clever” use of the Texas abortion law to make it more difficult to challenge. Judging from the praise for Garland, it appears that such work arounds are noble when done for the right cause.

Thank-you for starting this thread. Joe Biden's chief-of-staff has dealt a serious blow to Biden's vaccine mandates, right out of the gate. His "we circumvented" messaging will be an additional reason for the Supreme Court to rule against dictator Joe, and his minions in the MSM and Medical industries.

His admission destroys bidens bullscat.
And he admited it is simply about control, not health.
We should send him a fruit basket.

The intention has already been signaled to the BIG DOGS, and in no time at all the chosen corporations (you know the ones that were on stage with Trump back in the early days of the pandemic) such as you know who, and ya them too, and us too, will mandate all of their employees get vaccinated or get lost. That's all it takes, when the virtuous ring the signal bell, then the rest of the little doggies will follow suit.
