According to reports, the Senate is expected to vote as early as Wednesday to nullify the unconstitutional vaccine mandate implemented by President Joe Biden.
Republicans state that they expect the resolution to pass with 52 votes minimum, including Senators Joe Manchin and Jon Tester.
The Hill reports:
The Congressional Review Act (CRA), which was enacted in 1996, sets up a fast-track process in the Senate that allows the minority party to force a vote on a resolution to disapprove of a federal rule. The CRA, however, does not have a fast-track process for the House.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday he isn’t worried about a few Democratic defections on the vaccine mandate.
“The position to me is pretty clear and that is that the more people that are vaccinated, the safer America will be, and we should encourage everything we can do to do it. That is the overwhelming view of the president and of the vast majority of Democrats,” Schumer claimed.
The Senate’s anticipated passage of the resolution will set up a battle in the House, where Republicans plan to circulate a discharge petition to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to schedule a vote on the resolution.
“I’m hoping to get another two or three Democrats on board,” the lead Senate Republican sponsor of the proposal, Sen. Mike Braun (Ind.), told The Hill Tuesday before he knew that Tester would back the proposal.
Tester on Tuesday said he was not a fan of vaccine mandates for private employers even though he supports mandates for health care workers and members of the military.
“The basis of my decision is we don’t like mandates, and quite frankly, I heard a lot from my business community that they didn’t like — workability was bad,” he said.
It needs to be nullified for every single American. No one should be forced into a medical decision that they are not comfortable with. Where is our medical freedom without the freedom to say “no” to an experimental vaccine??
