10 State AGs join lawsuit against Biden’s vaccine mandates, call it “illegal” and “unconstitutional”

10 Attorney Generals in states with GOP Governors are pushing back against President Biden’s vaccine mandates on federal contractors, calling the move  “unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise.”

Per The Hill “‘he lawsuit filed by the attorneys general from the states of Missouri, Nebraska, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming called a vaccine mandate issued by the Biden administration that requires federal contractors to get the COVID-19 shot by Dec. 8 a “power grab.”’

‘The lawsuit alleges that the requirement was an unlawful usurpation of the states’ police powers, violates the 10th Amendment and is “non consistent” with procurement law, among other concerns. ,’ the report adds.

Missouri AG Eric Schmitt said in a statement “Today, I led a ten state coalition in filing a lawsuit to halt the Biden Administration’s unlawful, unconstitutional vaccine mandate for federal contractors. My Office has led the nation in taking action to fight back against attempts by petty tyrants to impose their control through mask mandates. Now, we’re leading the nation in fighting back against this absurd federal overreach.”

“According to the U.S. Department of Labor, workers who are employed by a federal contractor make up one-fifth of the entire labor market,” he continued. “If the federal government attempts to unconstitutionally exert its will and force federal contractors to mandate vaccinations, the workforce and businesses could be decimated, further exacerbating the supply chain and workforce crises. The federal government should not be mandating vaccinations, and that’s why we filed suit today – to halt this illegal, unconstitutional action.”
