More than 170 Republican Congressional leaders on Thursday submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has no authority to impose a nationwide vaccine mandate on businesses with 100-plus employees.
“Congressional members have an interest in the powers they delegate to agencies not being abused—the legislative authority vested in the federal government belongs to Congress, not the Executive branch,” the members contended. “In this case, the promulgation by [OSHA] of a sweeping, nationwide vaccine mandate on businesses intrudes into an area of legislative concern far beyond the authority of the agency.”
Reps. Rick W. Allen (R-GA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Jim Banks (R-IN), and Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) led over 130 representatives and over 40 senators in filing the brief to the Supreme Court in the case set to be heard on January 7 considering the Biden Administration’s OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS).
In a statement to Breitbart News, Stefanik said the “unconstitutional vaccine mandate imposes government control into the private, medical lives of millions of American citizens.”
