INDIANAPOLIS (Network Indiana): Governor Eric Holcomb on Thursday announced his opposition to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The emergency temporary standard (ETS) finalized Thursday by OSHA mandates workers at companies with 100 or more employees to get vaccinated against COVID by Jan. 4, 2022, or face weekly testing.
Holcomb is directing the Indiana Department of Labor and Indiana Attorney General’s Office to work on a lawsuit challenging the federal government.
“This is an overreach of the government’s role in serving and protecting Hoosiers,” Holcomb said in a statement. “While I agree that the vaccine is the tool that will best protect against COVID-19, this federal government approach is unprecedented and will bring about harmful, unintended consequences in the supply chain and the workforce.”
Indiana lawmakers, including Sens. Mike Braun and Todd Young, are among dozens of lawmakers planning to use the Congressional Review Act to challenge the mandate.

Finally the TYRANT wakes up. The Brandon administration IS ROGUE. It is determined to ignore the US Constitution. So is the Pelosi/Schumer Congress. None of them give a nanosecond of thought about how to SECURE RIGHTS which is their prime directive under the Declaration of Independence. Their actions are at least violations of the 9th and 10 amendments because they simply do not have threat power or authority given to them by The People or The States Under the US Constitution to order The People or the States to take the Covid shots. Neither does the Congress have that power under Article I, Section 8 where you will find the 18-enumerated powers of Congress. Get that dusty copy of the Constitution out and read it. While you are at it, read God’s Constitution known as the Holy Bible. You can easily find both, for the time being (at least until Google declares them to be “misinformation”) on the internet so maybe spending reading them on line would be better than the electronic gossip that all social media outlets distribute. Just a kind suggestion.
Perhaps Rip Van Holcomb is finally waking up to do his duty to SECURE RIGHTS.
