Quite a few people replied to constitutional scholar Jen Psaki’s defense of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates by reminding us that “federal law overrides state law” by asking, “What law?”
Townhall.com ~ PSAKI: "We know that federal law overrides state law."
She goes on to say that this legal aspect is "unquestionable."

Well, as per usual, Circle Back Psaki is talking out of her ass, again. THERE IS NO LAW. Biden threatened an Executive Order ... which, by the way, isn't a "law" ... but, it hasn't even been issued, yet. And, the dirty lil' secret as to why nothing has been issued yet is ... the Biden administration is worried to death that their edict will be shot down in flames as unconstitutional. And, Psaki really should do something about her ignorance of civics and read the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It is the federal government that is to be highly limited - not so the states.
CNN’s Ana Cabrera reports Tuesday night that Southwest and American airlines are going to stick with the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates, which they say supersede a conflicting Texas state order banning vaccine mandates.
Ana Cabrera ~ JUST IN: American and Southwest airlines say they will continue implementing vaccine mandate despite Texas’ move
The two major Texas-based airlines said the Biden admin’s demand that their workforces be vaccinated against the coronavirus supersedes a conflicting Texas order.
Well, the airlines can play this game all they want, but Southwest Airlines is currently experiencing the crippling results that could ensue. Get woke, go broke. Hey, guys ... don't be too surprised if your employees and your customers react badly if you decide to be tyrannical lil' Adolfs about their bodies and their choices.
“The Biden admin’s demand” ... which is all it is, if that.
Me ~ Is anyone on the left aware there IS no "mandate", no OSHA rule, no law?
There was a press release from the White House announcing their INTENTION to create a "mandate".
To this date, it hasn't been created.
They still don't even know if it's Constitutional.
A lot of people are arguing that federal law supersedes state law, but what federal law?
Sunny McSunnyface ~ There is no implemented federal mandate. A federal press release does not supersede a state mandate.
Phil Kerpen ~ To be clear, this is a Biden admin demand *as a condition of future federal contracts*. Hard to see how that can supersede the state order, if the state order is lawful.
(They are both bad policy; companies should make these decisions, not politicians.)
Companies should make the decisions and stand by them without pointing to a “demand” from the president.
Yep. Companies should make their own decisions and stand by them ... which means, if they decide to autocratically stomp all over the personal rights of their employees and customers and that causes their business operations to suffer mightily ... well ... such is life ... they go down the toilet. Too bad. Next.
David ~ NOTICE: The word "demand" not EO, not law, not OSHA rules. There is no legal documents demanding vaccination. They are either complicit or being bullied by the dictator Biden.
Seamus - Rapidly Becoming Ungovernable ~ Dear @AmericanAir & @SouthwestAir - there is no mandate from Biden. When the administration issues something official, then you can choose to follow or not. Until then, YOU are doing this voluntarily.
John ~ These 2 corpstapos have to know there literally is no federal mandate at the moment, just a speech by Brandon. There is an actual EO at the state level, which can be challenged, but they have to know that a successful challenge undermines the whole health emergency rule-by-fiat paradigm.
Jo Steen ~ Except Biden has no right to make that demand. It's illegal. So anyone complying is breaking Federal law against discrimination on the basis of health.
Josiah Lippincott ~ But if the President banned vaccine mandates by EO and Texas required them, they would insist on following Texas' mandates.
Yep, that's how Democrat double-standards work.
James 2.0 ~ So the grounded aircrafts don't have anything to do with the weather is what you are saying.
Well, the airlines are really, really loathe to admit that their employees effectively told them to f*ck off with their vaccine overreach and put their business operations in a ditch. No ... they'd rather blame it all on the weather, which is a pathetic lie that is obvious to EVERYONE. The same sort of ridiculous bullsh!t when Biden blames all of his obvious f*ckups on either Covid or Trump. ROTFLMAO!
USA! USA! ~ Ana, can you get your hands on a copy of the vaccine mandate issued for companies? OSHA is enforcing the mandate so I bet they have a copy.
Good idea.
