Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed a Motion for Emergency Stay asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to immediately halt the federal vaccine mandate. Buckeye argues that the mandate—one of the most far-reaching and invasive rules ever promulgated by the federal government—exceeds OSHA’s authority, violates the major questions doctrine, violates the Congressional Review Act, and trammels on numerous constitutional principles including the non-delegation doctrine and limitations on federal power under the Commerce Clause.
