At least two dozen attorneys general, including Louisiana’s Jeff Landry, are joined together in opposition to President Biden’s plan to mandate private sector companies of more than 100 employees to require workers to get a Covid-19 shot, submit to weekly testing, or be fired. Landry believes Biden has forgotten the U.S. is a republic, not a monarchy.
As for Biden’s plan, Landry says, “This will take less choices and more freedoms away from American citizens rather than granting them more in educating how we can protect ourselves.”
Landry says Biden can expect a legal battle if he follows through with his Covid vaccine mandate for larger employers.
“If he attempts to do so, if he attempts to take choices away from the American people we are going to stand up and take him to court,” said Landry.
Governor John Bel Edwards has not come down one way of the other on the Biden mandate, but says he favors doing the right thing when it comes to protecting the public at large from Covid-19.
“Sometimes we focus so much on what we have a right to do or a right not to do that we forget to focus on the right thing to do,” said Edwards.
Edwards is adamant about protecting citizens from the dangers of the coronavirus.
“Those choices have consequences not just for themselves but for society as a whole, and we also have a right not to be unreasonably exposed to dangers from others,” said Edwards.
