| His dementia is not something to laugh at--it's something of which to impeach him |
A federal judge in Florida put a temporary injunction in place Wednesday against the federal government's Covid vaccine mandate for federal contractors.
U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday [and a Merry Christmas to all] issued a 38-page opinion challenging the Biden administration's nonsensical sweeping mandate disputing its justification. The mandate would compel employees of all agencies and businesses that contract with the federal government to be vaccinated against COVID-19 with some exceptions.
Merryday was not the first to issue an injunction against Biden's mandate; a federal judge in Georgia beat him to it.
“The extent of any absenteeism attributable to COVID-19 among contractors and subcontractors is unexplained,” Merryday wrote, as reported by the News Service of Florida.
“The extent of any absenteeism attributable to COVID-19 among contractors and subcontractors is unexplained,” Merryday wrote, as reported by the News Service of Florida.
“The frequency and duration of any procurement delay attributable to COVID-19 is unexplained. The extent of any cost increases attributable to COVID-19 is unexplained. In other words, the extent of any procurement problem, past or future, attributable to COVID-19 is undemonstrated and is merely a hastily manufactured but unproven hypothesis about recent history and a contrived speculation about the future. Obviously, no massive extension and expansion of presidential power is necessary to cure a non-existent problem and certainly neither ‘good cause’ nor ‘urgent and compelling circumstances’ exists to justify summary disregard of the requirements of administrative law and rule-making.”
Apparently, it isn't about the logic or the science, it's about the power.
Last month, Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation outlawing vaccine mandates in his state, which is a direct challenge to Biden’s mandate.
“It’s the United States of America,” Gov. DeSantis said at a signing ceremony in Brandon, Florida, a location chosen to emphasize the viral chant, "Let's Go Brandon!" which became a verbal substitute for "F**k Joe Biden."

De Santis continued, “The states are the primary vehicles to protect people’s freedoms; their health, their safety, their welfare, and our Constitutional system. What Biden is doing is not constitutional. There has never been a federal vaccine mandate imposed on the general public.”
A few weeks later, following a Georgia lawsuit over the mandate, U.S. District Court Judge R. Stan Baker issued a nationwide injunction against the obviously unconstitutional mandate for federal contractors. Baker’s order was not the first injunction over the mandate, but it was the first to cover the entire U.S., temporarily nullifying our alleged president's order that was set to take effect on January 4.
Federal leftist attorneys tried to get Florida’s lawsuit dismissed by arguing that the state lacked standing to sue over the vaccine mandate. Merryday disagreed, citing the conflict between state law and Biden’s vaccine mandate in his opinion.
He used the University of Florida as an example:
“As Florida’s reply shows, the University of Florida, for example, is trapped in a bind,” he wrote. “If the federal government awards a contract proposal subject to the executive order, the university’s compliance with the mandatory clause will conflict with the university’s duty to obey state law prohibiting a vaccination requirement.”
“Absent a preliminary injunction, the defendants’ challenged actions will force each state agency to comply with Florida law and lose existing and prospective contracts,” the judge continued. “If a state agency forgoes the opportunity to contract with the federal government, no judicial relief can remedy the loss. Even a state agency’s hesitation — in deference to state law — to acquiesce to the defendant’s request to modify an existing contract might sour and end present and prospective contracts that benefit Florida and the nation.”

So Biden and his handler(s) lose this legal battle but someone is still making a bundle of money with these vaccines, and you can bet that this person or persons are government employees at the top of the food chain.
