Ted Cruz Thrashes the Biden Admin for Their Failure to Adhere to the Law – Opinion

The 5th Circuit took Joe Biden to the woodshed on his “workaround” of using an OSHA rule to impose a vaccine mandate on private businesses with 100 or more employees in their ruling upholding their stay against the imposition of the rule.

The 5th Circuit also looked into the intentions behind the actions of the Biden Administration. They noted Biden was against a federal mandate before he was for it, and that they had hardly been treating the need for a mandate like the “emergency” they claimed – not planning on actually imposing it until almost two years after the virus started to hit in the U.S. It was basically an excuse for imposing the vaccine on more people, according to the Court. The Court even pointed to the Ron Klain retweet of MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle calling it the “ultimate workaround” as an indication of the Biden team’s intent.

Now some predicted that back on September 10, that the courts were likely not to miss Ron Klain’s tweet, and could look at that when considering the intent of the Biden Administration, including this site and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Here’s what I wrote at the time:

Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, saw the tweet and pointed out that it shows intent. This would be taken into consideration in any legal dispute over federal court’s mandate. Klain has just made a big move. “Important,” Cruz tweeted. “Foolish RT from WH chief of staff. He uttered the loud part. Biden admin knows it’s likely illegal (like the eviction moratorium) but they don’t care.”

Cruz noted today that he called what was going to happen, retweeting his spokesperson’s tweet about saying it last year.

Cruz also dispensed with Dan Rather’s effort to spin the smackdown that the 5th Circuit gave to Joe Biden.

Hey. I’ll fix the headline.

“Federal appeals court upholds the rule of law. Leftist news anchor who was fired for chronic lying laments that the Constitution remains in force.” https://t.co/wYEuWXLAf4

It says a lot about how incompetent the Biden Administration that Ron Klain didn’t understand the possible consequences of his retweet. But more problematic was that they didn’t care anyway.

Cruz’s September statement is a key point to keep in mind. The Biden Administration knew that the eviction moratorium was likely illegal but Biden himself acknowledged they were simply doing it to buy more time and they didn’t care about disregarding the law. They know it was wrong to do the vaccine mandate this way — they acknowledged it was the ‘ultimate workaround.” Previously Biden even said they would not do it, and the White House said was “not the role of the federal government.”

As we noted earlier, even after the 5th Circuit’s initial decision to grant the stay last week, in which the Court said there were “grave statutory and constitutional issues,” the Biden administration still said they were advising businesses to go ahead with the mandate, disregarding the clear indication from the Court. Biden Administration’s move revealed that their goal was to seize control of businesses and force them into complying with the law. They didn’t care if that left the businesses hanging out on a limb with the consequences of ordering their employees to get vaccinated, or if that hurt their businesses or cost them employees. Biden’s Administration does not care about the consequences of this order. It’s all about pursuing Biden’s goal.
