(The Center Square) – U.S. Supreme Court Justices grilled the Biden administration's legal team during oral arguments Friday, questioning whether the federal government has the constitutional right to institute a sweeping private sector vaccine mandate across all industries.
Dozens of lawsuits were filed challenging President Joe Biden’s authority to issue the vaccine mandates, which have become a hotbed of controversy about executive branch authority and individual liberties over health care decisions.
The first case heard by justices Friday, National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor, considers a mandate on private employers with at least 100 workers. The second case argued before the Supreme Court, Biden v. Missouri, focuses on a mandate for health care workers.
