The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Friday in a case challenging the Biden administration’s federal COVID-19 vaccine or test mandate for employers with more than 100 employees. In 2021, The Daily Wire was the first major business to file suit against that mandate, followed by several other petitioners, challenging the Biden administration’s use of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to carry out the order, arguing that it was a violation of the constitution and that the mandate is not necessary to protect workers. The case has since been consolidated.
As covered on The Daily Wire’s “Morning Wire” podcast, the case was first stayed by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and the 6th Circuit lifted that stay.
Immediately after that ruling, attorneys for The Daily Wire petitioned SCOTUS to hear the case.
“We are confident in our cause. We have the rule of law – administrative and constitutional – on our side. We have the science on our side,” The Daily Wire’s co-CEO Jeremy Boreing said in an op-ed.” We have the best and most moral arguments on our side. If the Supreme Court will hear our case, we will win. If they won’t, it won’t just be a loss for us at The Daily Wire, but for all Americans. It’s hard to claim to be a free country when you can force businesses to force their employees to either violate their own consciences and inject themselves with drugs they do not wish to take, be discriminated against, or be fired.”
