WaEx: With the Biden administration facing a growing wave of lawsuits to stop the president’s vaccine mandate on companies, an Indiana businessman-turned-senator believes he has the quickest way to kill it.
Sen. Mike Braun, backed by most GOP senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is hopeful of nixing the mandate through the arcane but effective Congressional Review Act. It would force a vote in both Houses just before Christmas and when 93,000 firms could be firing unvaccinated workers.
The act allows Congress to review federal rules, normally ignored by the House and Senate. In this case, he would target the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s new proposal that firms with 100-plus workers have all employees vaccinated by Jan. 4 or face a hefty fine.
It was used effectively in the first year of the Trump administration to kick start the former president’s effort to wipe away costly rules that put mountains of red tape and costs on the public.
Braun, a former farmer and auto parts distributor, feels forcing a vote will make centrist Democrats reconsider Biden’s unilateral mandate when the pink slips start flowing. more here

Yep. It’s imperative that we elect Trump endorsed candidates. If we had the Holy Chambers of bull shit loaded with people like MTG we’d win this shit.
I have NOT completely given up BUT….my faith in the GOP has diminished into a whimpering, inconsequential, indistinguishable fart from a miniscule gnats ass that’s trying to suck a molecule of water from an ancient dead cactus from the Sahara desert.
Buy a gun and learn to use it if you haven’t already jellybean.
It at least gives you the feeling of knowing that when the final action, whatever that is, happens, you can take at least one of them with you.
It really is a freeing feeling. You may know that you aren’t long for the world, but some of them will go with us when they push hard enough.
EXACTLY Hunter. I’m too old to go to war, but my goal now is to take more than one of the bastards out before they get me.

Old Coot;

Gotcha covered, I’m well armed and too damn old to cater to the ignorant.

With vice grips on sensitive body parts, I hope.
Then do the GOPe, saving The Squad for the finale.
“Most”
The article says most R’s support this effort.
Hmmm…Let me guess, Collins, Murkowski and Kinzinger don’t?
This is good thinking by Braun. Hopefully it succeeds. It would rescue the weak kneed SCOTUS.
Is “centrist Demonrat” similar to “moderate Moslem?”
Both are rarer than Unicorns.
