Topic! Stick to it.Perhaps actually post something of merit not sidewise pokes at the elderly.

Republicans won governor race in Virginia, And New Jersey race is currently too close to call, these were places, Biden won in 2020 Presidential Election with a comfortable lead. Democrats are on course to lose House and Senate in 2022 Mid terms, these races are the first indication that voters reject U.S President Joe Biden’s Administration, also in Minneapolis, voters rejected “Defund the Police” proposal that would have seen its entire Police Department replaced by a “Public Safety body”.

Common sense prevails over stupid and idiotic Democrat policies.

As for sitting maskless next to a 95yr old said 95yr old doesn't seem to care.

This is what happens when a leader thinks he welds too much power, U.S Court blocks Biden's Covid Mandate plan, damn it must sting a little knowing all those judicial appointments under former President Donald Trump, which was said will shape the US laws & landscape for years to come.

A US federal appeals court has temporarily halted the Biden administration’s vaccine requirement for businesses.

The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency stay of the requirement that workers be vaccinated by January 4 or face mask requirements and weekly tests.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said the action stops Joe Biden “from moving forward with his unlawful overreach”.

“The president will not impose medical procedures on the American people without the checks and balances afforded by the constitution,” said a statement from Mr Landry, a Republican.

The law would have imposed the vaccine mandate on those working for private companies with more than 100 employees.

Seema Nanda, the US Labour Department’s top legal adviser, said the department is “confident in its legal authority to issue the emergency temporary standard on vaccination and testing”.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has the authority “to act quickly in an emergency where the agency finds that workers are subjected to a grave danger and a new standard is necessary to protect them,” she said.

A spokesman for the Justice Department, Anthony Coley, said in a statement: “The OSHA emergency temporary standard is a critical tool to keep America’s workplaces safe as we fight our way out of this pandemic. The Justice Department will vigorously defend this rule in court.”

Such circuit decisions normally apply to states within a district – Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, in this case – but Landry said the language employed by the judges gave the decision a national scope.

“This is a great victory for the American people out there. Never before has the federal government tried in a such a forceful way to get between the choices of an American citizen and their doctor. To me that’s the heart of the entire issue,” he said.

At least 27 states filed lawsuits challenging the rule in several circuits, some of which were made more conservative by the judicial appointments of former US President Donald Trump.

quite right, only in very exceptional circumstances should anyone be "mandated" to be vaccinated.

No doubt there will be appeals etc.

Yeah must really smart, why didn't Obama appoint more judges at all levels, his failure to do so must have resulted in more citizens becoming victims of crime as people weren't being incarcerated who should have been

Democratic or Republican the politicisation of judges is an awful American practice I am so thankful we don't have here.

That was just the standards committee right?

The proper judiciary is largely independent. Imagine if almost every judge was either a Government appointment or, as it is in some states for local districts, elected by voters! The whole thing is mad.

Well, the legislature sits above the judiciary in a certain sense.
