It’s nice to see that one of the nation’s largest employers is choosing law and order and squaring off against the Joe Biden regime!
General Electric has long been known as one of the nation’s largest employers, and they announced on Friday that they were suspending their coronavirus vaccine or test requirement due to the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court had blocked President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for large businesses last week.
“The maker of jet engines, wind turbines and medical scanners confirmed the decision Friday via email,” Bloomberg News reported. “GE is the first major company to announce a halt after the court’s decision Thursday to block the centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s push to boost Covid-19 vaccinations.”
The Daily Wire reported last Thursday that this ruling by the Supreme Court is a major victory for critics of the mandate, including the online news periodical The Daily Wire, who sued the Biden Administration last November.
The Daily Wire and the other plaintiffs would ultimately appeal to the Supreme Court after the Sixth Circuit lifted the stay that had been put in place by the Fifth Circuit.
Basically, the COVID-19 vaccination and testing emergency standard was stayed by the court pending a review by the Sixth Circuit in a 6-3 decision by the members of the court.
Not to be outdone, President Biden issued a statement yesterday immediately after the ruling where he continued to urge private employers to implement their own vaccine requirements if they are a business with over 100 employees.
“I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has chosen to block common-sense life-saving requirements for employees at large businesses that were grounded squarely in both science and the law,” Biden said. “This emergency standard allowed employers to require vaccinations or to permit workers to refuse to be vaccinated, so long as they were tested once a week and wore a mask at work: a very modest burden.”
President Biden also noted that one result of the court’s decision was that it would be now up to the states and individual employers to determine whether they should have a vaccine mandate in their workplace.
Biden is also claiming that even though the court has ruled that he does not have the authority to enforce these vaccine mandates, he is still going to use his “voice” to insist that companies do what is right, at least in his mind that is.
Biden is also insisting that at least one-third of Fortune 100 companies are already enforcing vaccination mandates.
Time will tell how this will play out, but General Electric in particular is not on board. Good for them for making law and order from the Supreme Court their mantra.
