Biden's Latest Performative Act for Media Consumption

This evening 46* announced that all employers with over 100 employees (except for select federal workforces of course) will be required to vaccinate their employees or administer weekly COVID tests to those who can’t or won’t get the jab. This is not good news at the Chateau de Sarcastica:

Guess I'm going to have to fire one of my house staff to get under a 100. Damn, he was such a good bartender too.

He might as well have mandated all Americans to grow wings and fly because this executive order is about as legal as murder. Joe Biden does not have the constitutional authority to require businesses to do anything. The announcement is a performative act and nothing more, but that said, the reason behind the performance is an attempt at furthering a narrative Democrats will be able to utilize from here till the midterms.

This action is destined for the Supreme Court and Democrats want to be able to have the court shoot it down so they can say it’s become so partisan that it’s willing to allow Americans to die. This, of course, is complete nonsense but many Americans will watch and believe a Pelosi press conference before they take one look at the text of a Supreme Court ruling. Democrats will say the court is filthy with partisanship and may reawaken the case for court-packing. A purely conservative court is a “scary” prospect and will energize Democrats. It’s a narrative that will become useful when it comes time to cast votes.

In a perfect world, the press would call its constitutionality into question and experts would deem it the insane ramblings of a man who belongs to a statist party, but that’s not what’s going to happen. They’ll continue to carry the water for democrats and to ring every alarm bell about how Texas is interfering with an individual’s right to choose on abortion while shouting from every working speaker that every business should be forced to vaccinate employees, even if against their will.

Biden's dictatorial mandate will fail constitutionality, but it will serve its true purpose, and that’s to convince the gullible that they need to fight against a fabled Republican death cult.
