The aide said that there is no Republican opposition to the disapproval.The news comes as a federal court ruled on Saturday to freeze Biden\u2019s vaccine mandate, citing possible \u201cgrave statutory and constitutional\u201d issues with it.The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stated the following:Before the court is the petitioners\u2019 emergency motion to stay enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\u2019s November 5, 2021 Emergency Temporary Standard (the \u201cMandate\u201d) pending expedited judicial review.Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby STAYED pending further action by this court.Immediately following the release of the OSHA rule, The Daily Wire was the first major company to file a lawsuit against the Biden administration, as the company noted in a\u00a0report\u00a0on Thursday:The lawsuit does not take a position on whether someone should receive the vaccine or not, only against Biden\u2019s mandate, announced earlier this year and unveiled on Thursday morning. The mandate applies to all companies with 100 or more employees and forces those businesses to police the vaccine status of their employees. The Daily Wire, with over 100 employees, falls under the mandate.The Daily Wire\u2019s lawsuit seeks to overturn Biden\u2019s executive action, arguing that the order is unconstitutional and that the Biden administration violated federal law in drafting it.Jeremy Boreing, co-founder and co-CEO of The Daily Wire, explained the company\u2019s decision, saying,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re not the enforcement arm of the federal government.\u201d\u201cForcing Americans to choose between their livelihoods and their freedom is a grotesque abuse of power and we won\u2019t be a party to it,\u201d Boreing added. \u201cWe will not incur the cost of implementing this testing regime. We will not incur the liability of inserting ourselves into the private health decisions and information of our employees. Our company was founded to stand against tyranny, and we will.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
