Attorney General Steve Marshall Wins Nationwide Injunction Against Biden’s Federal-Contractor Vaccine Mandate
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Steve Marshall announced victory over
President Joe Biden’s federal-contractor vaccine mandate today as a federal court granted Alabama’s motion for an injunction against the President’s unconstitutional vaccination requirement.
“President Biden’s unlawful, unconstitutional, and un-American attempt to force
federal contractors and their employees to submit to a COVID-19 vaccination has been stopped due to another successful legal challenge from Alabama,” said Attorney General Marshall.
“Today’s ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia places a nationwide injunction on President Biden’s federal-contractor vaccine mandate and represents the third victory by Alabama and a coalition of states to block enforcement of the President’s tyrannical dictates.
“President Biden’s lawless and authoritarian vaccine mandate on federal contractors – just as with his vaccine mandates for private employers and healthcare workers – is a contemptible infringement upon individual liberty, federalism, and the separation of powers. The courts have rightfully responded in each case by blocking the enforcement of these mandates.”
Attorney General Marshall filed three legal challenges to President Biden’s vaccine mandates, including against the federal-contractor vaccine mandate on October 29, against the private-employer vaccine mandate on November 5, and against the healthcare-worker vaccine mandate on November 15. All three mandates have now been blocked nationwide by federal courts.
Joining Alabama in the legal challenge of the federal-contractor vaccine mandate are attorneys general from Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia. The district court ruling can be read here.
