    Multiple religious liberty-focused legal organizations are suing the Biden administration over its mandate requiring most private sector businesses to force their employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine or risk facing insurmountable fines or firing employees.

    First Liberty Institute, on behalf of Daystar Television Network, the American Family Association and Answers in Genesis, petitioned the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Sixth Circuits on Friday and asked the judges to “review and set aside” the mandate requiring employers with more than 100 employees to mandate the coronavirus vaccine for their employees or subject them to regular coronavirus testing and required mask wearing.

    The petitions come one day after the Biden administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Labor, unveiled the temporary emergency standard. First Liberty contends that the prominent national religious ministries it's representing are “adversely affected” by the vaccine mandate because they “will face workplace shortages if unvaccinated employees quit rather than receive a COVID-19 vaccination.”

    The legal challenges also note that petitioners could face “civil penalties up to $70,000” for each willful violation of the vaccine mandate. First Liberty Institute is not the only law firm taking the vaccine mandate to court.

    Alliance Defending Freedom announced a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate filed on behalf of The Daily Wire, a conservative news outlet based in Nashville, Tennessee. The lawsuit, titled The Daily Wire v. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on Thursday.….

    his is a great news article by Ryan Foley, Christian Post reporter about the Biden regimes mandates and Christian groups fighting in court against them. In addition to the Christian groups, at least 26 states are also going to court about this. It is great that they are taking it to court in areas the 5th and 6th courts of appeals are the jurisdiction they went to. This is a severe over reach by the biDen administration and OSHA.

    Considering the government has absolutely no way to verify vaccination status I would imagine the simplest answer for most people will be to just... lie.

    An appeals court has already dealt with this and put a stay on the Biden mandate

    Yes, that is an option.

    I support employers right to mandate it, but I oppose the Federal government getting involved in it. I also do not like churches pushing partisan politics.

    This wasn’t churches getting involved directly. It is Christian affiliated legal groups taking a legal stand on the issues that affect them.

    They aren't. From the OP
    It's perfectly proper for them to take their concerns to the Courthouse.

    To say that American Christian fundamentalists are out of touch with human values is an understatement.

    They have not yet emerged from the Middle Ages.

    Anti-science, pro-Trump, creationism...

    They are crazy enough to applaud the ravages of the pandemic while the hospitals are filled with conservatives.

    There are groups out there...like JW...who have real religious concerns and objections. But really it's just straight out unconstitutional for anybody to be forced to take a vaccine by government.
