GOP-Majority Court Chosen to Consider Biden Vaccine Mandate
Challenges to President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers will be consolidated in the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, a panel dominated by judges appointed by Republicans.

The Cincinnati-based court was selected Tuesday in a random drawing using ping-pong balls, a process employed when challenges to certain federal agency actions are filed in multiple courts.

The selection could be good news for those challenging the administration's vaccine requirement, which includes officials in 27 Republican-led states, employers and several conservative and business organizations. They argue the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not have the authority to impose the mandate.

The challenges, along with some from unions that said the vaccine mandate didn't go far enough, were made this month in 12 circuit courts. Under an arcane system, it was up to the clerk of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict litigation to select a ping-pong ball from a bin to choose where the cases would be heard.

It was a favorable outcome for Republicans. Eleven of the 16 full-time judges in the 6th Circuit were appointed by Republican presidents. Accounting for one of the Republican-appointed judges, Helene White, who often sides with judges appointed by Democrats and adding senior judges who are semi-retired but still hear cases, the split is 19-9 in favor of Republicans. Six of the full-time judges were appointed by former President Donald Trump.

It's not clear whether the court that will hear the case will act as the 5th Circuit did and side quickly with the Republican challengers. But legal experts have become increasingly concerned in recent years about the politicization of both federal and state courts, raising questions about whether justice is fairly administered or dispensed through a partisan lens.

Well, here we go. FDR dealt with an even more entrenched conservative judiciary. In fact they defeated measures that would have saved lives during the great depression. Republicans haven't changed much.

What good does "holding the nation responsible" for the votes of a minority accomplish?
Because it acknowledges that your country AND its citizens are responsible for ALL its actions, and that claiming no responsibility during the times when your team isn't in power is disingenuous.

Because you are a "christian" nation and amighty Jeebus said you are your brother's keeper.

Because if it isn't your problem, whose problem is it?

It's not my fault, it's the "other political party" may let you sleep at night, but it doesn't accomplish a damn thing.

I never once signed onto a Christian nation.

Assigning blame is a fruitless activity.

If you want to blame me for what Republicans do I'll reject it. I accept no blame for what they do. My conscience is clear.

I'm for positive change and I'm taking part to see that happens. Racism and police brutality is an issue that I feel strongly about. I was in the streets with Antifa in Portland when the Proud Boys first showed up for their first Trump sponsored Nazi parade. I documented the encounter in my posts at the time. I was there to witness, not fight. I have stepped up the number and amount of donations to candidates and PACs that I support. I do that to ensure the candidates I support can run competitive races. Of course, I vote. I also contact my representatives to let them know where I stand on important issues. I haven't yet, but I think I'll start attending school board meetings too.

Fuck this "both sides bad" narrative. A couple thousand Republican white supremacists invaded our Capitol building with the intent of mudering Trump's political enemies and overturning an election that was almost perfect. Trump and his Republican allies fed that crowd lies about a stolen election. So, bullshit. I have done nothing wrong and accept no blame.

And no, I will not pour gasoline over myself and light it in protest over things I cannot change. I'm not like that. I do, on the other hand work for positive change.

trump getting in was our fault...what everyone else on the planet did with him is on them...we have no liability for the stupidity of other world leaders
Yea, he was Americas fault. Was nice America didn't fail the intelligence test twice. Not sure he has gone very far away either.
I'm not sure on the second point. American Presidents meeting with Dictators like Kim Jong-Un gives them credibility on the world stage

Are you still upset i posted a quote from a Video you posted and you then over reacted and made it up to mean something completely different because you didn't watch the video you posted?
You should of moved on from that the moment you actually watched the video you posted.

Fascist leaders always use blame and fear to gain power. Hitler used the punishing terms of WWI and Jews in wealthy positions as reasons to take over. The country of the German People is being taken from Real Germans. The leaders are not fascist, they just want to make things right.
Not just fascists leaders. Fear is a great driver. Look at the first response to any mention of stricter gun laws. "Protection" is thrown up straight away. "What IF a car load of jacked up Mexicans raid my house looking for Tv;s and guns and women to rape?"

presented without comment.

"I’m hoping they name a law after her so no one has to go through this," Ryan Drock told The Palm Beach Post, part of the USA TODAY Network. “If she had walked out of the hospital, she could have had the medication.”


then if they gave it to her..it wasn't given soon enough.
