On Thursday, the Biden administration’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it will temporarily halt enforcement of its mandate that healthcare workers be vaccinated for COVID-19, pending appeal of a federal injunction blocking the measure.
Life Site News reports:
“On November 29 and November 30, 2021, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued preliminary injunctions against the implementation and enforcement of the Interim Final Rule against Medicare-and-Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers,” acknowledges the memo by CMS, an arm of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). “Between the two of them, these injunctions cover all states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Territories.”
“While CMS remains confident in its authority to protect the health and safety of patients in facilities certified by the Medicare and Medicaid programs, it has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of this rule pending future developments in the litigation,” the memo continued. “Accordingly, while these preliminary injunctions are in effect, surveyors must not survey providers for compliance with the requirements of the Interim Final Rule.”
The Daily Wire reports that U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty’s ruling declared that “if the separation of powers meant anything to the Constitutional framers, it meant that the three necessary ingredients to deprive a person of liberty or property — the power to make rules, to enforce them, and to judge their violations — could never fall into the same hands,” and that “that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency” such as the COVID pandemic.
Critically, the Louisiana suit cites language from another recent ruling of the Fifth Circuit that temporarily blocked the administration’s other vaccine (or weekly testing) mandate for any business with 100 workers or more. The Fifth Circuit will hear this case as well if Doughty’s ruling is appealed, suggesting the ruling is likely to be upheld, at least until it reaches the Supreme Court.

Our president struts around believing he has a godlike authority. And we the people shuffle obediently, stoop-shouldered as if he has it. He doesn’t. It’s not a crime to ignore the president. Laws and their enforcement must be obeyed but our president isn’t part of that principle. He’s just another elected doofus who gamed the system.

THIS MANDATE NEEDS TO STOP PERIOD!!!!
He didn’t “agree” to, he was ordered by the court to…
Joe Biden doesn’t know what he is doing and he is well in over his head in comprehension of his job. He is being lead by some one that is telling him what to do so they can control people. The Democrats have him as a figure head so they can just try to do what they want that is unconstitutional. He needs to be impeached, along with Kamala Harris, for treason to this country.
Biden is down for the count but won’t admit he lost the fight.
