So that's a justification for lawlessness? If it's so important, then pass a law, don't rule by executive order.
- colejohnson66 5y agoOSHA was created through the law, and they have the authority to change what they deem necessary whenever they want. Their decisions can be challenged in court (as this rule has been), but it’s not “executive order” per se. Congress gave the President the power to do this. A vaccine mandate by OSHA, however, is unprecedented, and I can’t speak on how successful it’ll be and whatever unintended consequences it may have
- rsj_hn 5y ago> they have the authority to change what they deems necessary whenever they want. I think the courts have a history of disagreeing on that point. Not enough, mind you, we've seen an unprecedented expansion of federal powers, but they have been ruling some of the more extreme executive orders unconstitutional.
