OSHA Says Enforcement Starts January 10

On Friday, December 17, 2021, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, designated to handle multi-district litigation over the OSHA vaccine and testing mandate on large employers, dissolved a previous 5th Circuit stay of the mandate.

OSHA has announced that starting January 10, it will start enforcement:

    The Occupational Health and Safety Administration said Saturday it will wait until Jan. 10 to begin issuing citations to companies that do not comply with its coronavirus vaccine mandate.

    Driving the news: OSHA also said that it would not issue citations for its COVID-19 testing requirements before Feb. 9 “so long as an employer is exercising reasonable, good faith efforts to come into compliance with the standard,” the agency said.

Earlier today, at least two Emergency Petitions were filed with the Supreme Court. There may be more, but these are two that I was able to find (if readers find more, please post in the comments).

A coalition of dozens of states, companies, unions, and individuals filed an Emergency Application for An Administrative Stay and Stay of Administrative Action.

The application for an administrative stay was presented to Justice Kavanaugh, who has responsibility for the 6th Circuit, but he almost certainly will refer the request to the full court since there are multiple weeks until the new rule would take effect. Here is the intro to application:

If the SCOTUS doesn't go our way, the way from here grows very dark.

As there damned well should be!

I still cannot fathom how a three judge appeals court panel can over-ride a full-16 member appeals court's judgement that passed on the validity of overturning a federal judge's stoppage of this mandate.

Has there ever been a SCOTUS verdict having an even number of judges on both sides deferred judgement to just a three member panel instead? @Bigun

It is not what the Founders intended, ie - the majority to be dominated by the minority.  In this case, less than one-fifth of the court to decide cases.

It almost looks like the fix was in.

I don't know the answer to that question @IsailedawayfromFR but I seriously doubt it.  Nothing surprises me now.

Not surprising. Corruption is so deep that our judicial system has almost completely collapsed??
