Biden to GOP governors planning vaccine mandate lawsuits: 'Have at it'
By Alex Gangitano and Morgan Chalfant - 09/10/21 11:34 AM EDT

President Biden on Friday dismissed arguments from Republicans that his administration’s new vaccine requirements amount to federal overreach and said some GOP governors are being “cavalier” with the health of their constituents.

Asked about opponents vowing to challenge the new vaccination measures, Biden replied: “Have at it.”

“I am so disappointed that particularly some Republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities,” Biden said during an appearance at a Washington, D.C., school. “We’re playing for real here, and this isn’t a game, and I don’t know of any scientist out there in this field that doesn’t think it makes considerable sense to do the six things I’ve suggested.”


The president did not name any Republican governors, though Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp are among those promising to sue over a new administration rule that says businesses with more than 100 employees must require employees be vaccinated. Biden on Thursday also announced a requirement that most federal workers be vaccinated.

The president has previously criticized governors including Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for blocking mask mandates in schools. During Thursday's speech from the White House, Biden vowed to use his power as president to get governors "out of the way" if they won’t help beat the pandemic.

Cavalier?

Pretty interesting choice of words considering his behavior during the Afghanistan debacle.

"Have at it" sounds like he's delighted at the coming Covid battle with governors knocking Afghanistan out of the news.

As if it will help his approval numbers.

"Have at it..."

It will not be enough for these individual red state governors to [separately] announce they will resist the biden mandates.

If they're to be effective as they "have at it", they must all appear TOGETHER on a single dais, and announce that they're joining in, well...   "a new confederation" of sorts to oppose the intrusions of the fedgov/communists "as a single entity".

And as such they must "unify" the responses of the individual red states, so that defensive maneuvers (which will be in court, first) can be co-ordinated.

As biden has threatened to (paraphrase) "take out" the governor(s) of the red states who stand against fedgov/communists, it will make it much harder to do if the red/confeds hang together.

A Lloyd Austin might recommend an incursion into ONE state, but he'll probably balk when he is told he must go after 5, 6, or 7 of them at once.

Could it come to this?
We shall see.

Sorry, but in my case TEXIT is sounding more like a plausible option  than a novelty now.  You just can cram so much socialism down the throats of patirots.

I think it is inevitable. It's just a question of when. Traditional Americans have nothing in common with the leftists. At some point instead of one group trying to dominate the other we need to pursue a peaceful divorce.
