The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Friday, January 7, in a surprise special session that was announced by the justices before Christmas. The nine-member court will hear two vaccine mandate appeals by the Biden administration: one related to forced vaccination of medical workers and the second related to an OSHA rule forcing businesses to vaccinate their employees or get fined and punished if they fail to do so.
The legal showdown Friday comes after a federal deadline for compliance, Jan. 4, has come and gone which affected private businesses through OSHA and affected health care workers who work in facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funds.
The looming court fight also comes after state governors, trade associations, doctors and nurses, non-profits, and private businesses flooded the courts with lawsuits after President Joe Biden claimed in September he has the executive authority to mandate a COVID-19 vaccination for an estimated 84 million Americans.
“We’ve been patient,” Biden lectured unvaccinated and free Americans in an address from the White House. “But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us…”
In a pre-hearing filing, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the high court OSHA must have the legal authority to monitor COVID-19 vaccinations in the workplace because the “danger to workers is not just grave, but worsening.
“Delaying enforcement of the [mandate] thus would likely cost many lives per day, in addition to large numbers of hospitalizations and other serious health effects,” Prelogar wrote.

In related news, a divided Sixth Circuit panel refused to stay an injunction against the vaccine mandate for federal contractors. The panel rejects the argument that the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act allows the federal government to require vaccination for nearly one-fifth of the American workforce. A federal district court in Georgia had issued a national injunction against the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement for federal contractors. Last week, in separate litigation, a district court in Kentucky also enjoined the mandate, although this injunction was limited to the plaintiff states in that case.
The Eleventh Circuit upheld that injunction.

Why is congress and staffers are except from vaccine mandates?
But military police fire fighters medical workers our not?
I will not be injected with something that has not been approves by FDA EXCEPT FOR AN EMERGENCY. AND THE FACT THAT people are infecting others that had the infection after getting the vaccination and getting Covid 19 themselves only improves my point. I already had Covid 19 in December of 2020 and I’m 73 now . I am ready to go to be Jesus when He calls me home and not a moment sooner.! I know Dr,. Falcci and his comrades are only interested in making money and I believe they want to get rid of the rest of us as soon as possible!
I agree, they want to kill us old timers off so they can give the illegals our pensions that we paid for …..

We need to uphold our Constitution of the UNITED STATES and personal opinions of those in office should not be held as authority. Lord Jesus please inhabit these meetings, so Your Glory will prevail.
As waters of a river are turned so God turns the hearts of Brett Kavanaugh, Elena Kagan, Neal Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Stephen Breyer, Sonia SotoMayer to uphold Truth. Grant them Lord divine discernment to expose the lies and fraud, to protect lives and livelihoods. Fill them with Your Spirit of wisdom, boldness and courage. Let them be Your light to shine throughout the world and use them to accomplish your will. We pray in Jesus’ name.
I will pray for this upcoming Court Case. We are a Free People, We are free to make our health decisions ! We are a county with a Constitution.. We Must hold to the Truth’s that are written therein.
Pray, and thee Pray some more !
“Remember that you do not judge to please people but to please the LORD. He will be with you when you render the verdict in each case that comes before you. Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.” 2 Chron 19:6-7
“But this is what you must do: tell the truth to each other. Render verdicts in your courts that are just and that lead to peace.” Zech 8:16
I work for a church that has over 100 employees as we run a pre-school and daycare. They believe that since they take federal money for help with the daycare lunch program they can enforce a vaxx mandate. Furthermore, they are not wanting to accept religious exemptions. I have been praying for an answer to give and trying to figure out whether to even stay as a part-time employee. I cannot believe that I am having to make such a decision and the process to go forward. They are running the church more like a business than a church. They have lost their way. Praying for guidance and strength as I know that I most likely will not continue to work there and will need to find some other means of employment!
Thank you for your faithfulness all God’s people the Intercessors.
God have mercy on us. Praying and believing all the shaking will wake us all up and we the church will be purified and prepared to stand . That we will encourage one another as we see these things happening. We need courage so grateful for those on the front lines really paying the price working to protect our liberties. So many giving us truth in the midst of lies. God’s truly got an army of believers fighting the good fight of faith. Keep our eyes on the Lord and keep persueing his righteous ness. Many paying great sacrafices to prevail over evil. Everyday is a gift we took to much for granted. We all must be more proactive.
God bless America ! Bring an awakening back to God
It is a frightful thing to think that forced mandates is violating our Constitutional freedoms as U.S. citizens! I pray that we the people continue to speak up against what we know is wrong! There are those who have been on the job, taking care of others, and what needs to be done through it all, the chaos, and suffering!! Now many people are losing their jobs! Medical personnel, not to mention our military are threatened to one point or another! Thus weakening our military! Excuse me, but what the hell is wrong with you people! Lose your minds?! Trying to take away our freedoms anyway you all can?! Creating division! Violence! People can be dumb swallowing all you are feeding!! But you all forget that there’s also smart, patriotic people also! We have common sense! We believe in the laws of the Constitution!! We know the law, truth, and believe strong in what’s right, as we live in the light of the Lord’s goodness!
One last thing, why don’t they just leave the children alone? Covid never was really a threat to them! So why vaccine them if they are healthy? Educate them as it’s always been!! Stop harming them!! Sure inject the youth with the virus!! It’s truthfully what the shot is!! I’m fearful for the children! If they are healthy, I pray parents protect them, as I fear to vaccinate the children, many will surely be sick, or suffer other health issues they never would have had otherwise!! Please be safe, be well, I pray for all families in our great U.S. of A. Amen
Our freedom is not granted to us by the government or the state but conferred upon us by the Lord himself. The great irony here is that Biden, who claims to be a disciple of the Lord and a true, professing catholic, has done everything to trample on that precious gift by blatantly disobeying the commandments, sentencing the unborn to death via abortion, advocating LGBT hegemony, undermining the sacred bonds of family life and coercing us to take an injection which has already maimed and killed a fair number of our brothers and sisters. In the movie, The Boys from Brazil, a zealous Jew named Yakov Liebermann relentlessly tracks down Joseph Mengele, the angel of death, and his Nazi cronies who fled to Brazil to escape justice and rightful punishment. Although fictitious, the very plot now shifts to us as we must now confront insurrectionists from within and root them out with the very power and efficacy of the Lord’s Holy Spirit. As our Lord Jesus told his disciples, “whoever is for us is not against us” and nobody on the face of the earth before, now and in the future can ever “pull a fast one” on the Lord and escape his righteous judgment.
I pray that God will impress upon the justices how far the US government is attempting to control people. I pray the justices will remember the Nuremberg Code and why it was created and rule on the side of choice for the people
Stand strong, America. Our DNA is to be free. Let God arise upon his people and unify us in holiness, love, and fear of the Lord and courage..
I pray that Gods people will join together vaccinated and unvaccinated and stand for our freedom of religion while we still can. I pray for our senators and representatives that they will Take a stand against the Present administration That’s destroying America And taking our freedoms.
Thank you for standing for citizens who want the right to choose what’s best for them medically.
I, personally have a problem with chemicals and have not taken arc drugs in 30 years.
I so hope the Supreme Court decides against the vaccine mandate. I am not vaccinated .
I pray for all the people that were coerced or intimidated into getting the vaccine to be cleansed of the vaccine by the power of your miraculous blood!
May the SCOTUS be led by Your truth Lord Jesus/Yeshua and uphold our Constitution!
I pray for eyes and hearts to be opened to the tactics of the enemy and for all to reject the lies coming from the bottomless pit of hell! Give your saints strength to overcome in your mighty name Lord!
For it is by Your stripes that we ARE healed and not by pharmakia!
The bowl of plague has been poured out and I ask for protection for you church your bride! May your saints be caught up in the air to forever be with you as you state in prophesy in Thess 4 13-18!
Thank you Lord for giving us spiritual insight for the times of your soon return to your rightful throne in Jerusalem! Blessed be your holy and all powerful and precious name! Hallelujah King Jesus/Yeshua
For only you are worthy to be praised! Amen

Mark 4:22. Psalm91, Psalm 37..
I am so appalled and sorry that this happened to you, Anthony, and to so many others. This is not America. This is not freedom. I pray that the light of truth will be shed in all the dark places and that those who have followed along because of fear and/or the lies told to them, will have their eyes opened.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, compassion and service to our country and to the sick. May God bless you and lead you to an even better opportunity to serve Him in a mighty way!
Thank you Anthony for your service to our country! I am so grateful for all of you!! As I speak for many. I love our country and our military! I’m a proud mom of a daughter and son-in-law in the AIR National Guard. My heart is breaking for all of America right now. For the brave men and women who fought to keep her free and the sacrifices they made, they were not in vain. God has been opening my eyes more and more each day to the evil in this world. Our only hope is to put our trust in our Lord and Savior. Our mission now is to keep praying that more eyes and hearts are opened to Jesus and His word. We have been subtly led down a dark path and I believe God is telling us to wake up before it is too late.
The vaccine has not stopped people from getting covid 19.
I have just as many vaccinated friends who got covid as I do unvaccinated. In fact my husband and I both were exposed to covid by our vaccinated friends.
Many have died or have permanent disabilities from getting vaccinated.
Getting vaccinated is a personal choice..
amen 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
I am fervently praying for the SCOTUS to do the right thing, in accordance with God’s will. This ruling has far-reaching implications that go well beyond the mandatory COVID vax issue. Therefore, we need to be praying hard about this issue. Holy Spirit, please, give Your wisdom to the Supreme Court Justices as they hear this case and make their decision regarding this case. In the mighty name of Jesus.
I am so sad that I cannot forward your post
Why i s the type ub thus area so light?
Father,Creator.. author of truth..guide us to freely make decisions. In the name of Christ
Jesus fill the justices with courage and boldness directly from the Holy Spirit to stand for the constitution of the United States,
HOG WASH, DOUBLE HOG WASH
Father, cause Your wisdom to flood the hearts and minds of each Justice who sits in the Supreme Court. Thwart every scheme and tactic of the enemy. We cry out for what is just, righteousness, and true as the decisions regarding vaccine mandates are made. Protect our freedom of choice, and expose any deceptions and lies. We ask in the name of Jesus.
Folks, you have to remember where and upon what you stand.
The mRNA vaccine was NEVER used on humans until SARS-COV-2, otherwise known as the China Flu. That makes it highly experimental, even though the FDA fast-tracked an approval to lend legitimacy to Biden’s power-grab.
But let’s dig deeper. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 21, part 50, Subpart B protects human subjects in medical trials. No one can use coercion to force participation, and anyone who threatens your job, medical benefits, or anything for that matter is in violation. If the mRNA is presented to you as an option, other alternatives that suit your needs MUST be presented. If they are not – that’s a violation. If you opt out of the trials at any time, no benefit to which you are normally entitled can be taken. If any are – that’s a violation. Your rights are not waived in this matter – if they are not observed – that’s a violation.
Violations of CFR 21, Part 50, Subpart B, are a FELONY OFFENSE that can result in millions of dollars in fines plus imprisonment for INDIVIDUALS who decide to travel down that road. So stand up. Don’t wait for SCOTUS. Put anyone who pushes the narrative on notice. The lawsuits against violators will come. Take your stand now, because the war has already started, and you have nothing to lose.
Standing for Freedom that this nation is based on
If Preloager thinks mandates will save lives, then show us the data! All of it. Risk from covid and risk from AE to the vaccine. How many are still hospitalized for covid non vaxed and vaxed. How many covid deaths from vaxed and unvaxed. I want data and proof. Too many hospital employees tell me that the vaxed are taking up most of the beds in hospitals.
Any mandates against your getting losing your job or forcing you to get a Covid shot is absoutely unconstitional! Even showing a vaccine card is against HIPPA laws. To the Supreme Court, please vote this down! Thank you!!!
God please help Covid go away so we don’t need these mandates.
I heard a physician say that the vaccines are the very thing that are keeping Covid alive. People are contracting Covid, vaccinated or not. 99% survival rate and a mandate for all to be vaccinated Are you kidding me? I’m not putting that junk in my body! My body my choice or is that just for murdering babies?
God deliver us from evil, in Jesus’ name!
God is keeping my alive. He is the one who has given me breath and numbered my days.
Lord, break off the spirit of fear that is controlling and manipulating people
Open their eyes to see Your truth
The courts find a right of privacy in order to dismember live babies. And the say a right to privacy and to decide what to do with “your body” justifies 66 million dead babies. But now the same politicians and Judges want to tell all Americans that the government can compel all Americans to take a vaccine that has caused death and that does not prevent Covid infections. Freedom of religion is being cancelled, freedom to determine you own medical care is being stripped away. IS AMERICAN BEING TURNED INTO A COMMUNIST/MARXIST dictatorship?
Not to forget the schools through state and federal laws are allowing our kids to gender change without notifying parents.
I pray for medical freedom. This
Covid-19 vaccine is just the beginning of government overreach. I believe in personal decisions over healthcare. The government should not have any power over my decision of these issues.
Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”
Neh. 1:11
Then he prayed, “LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Gen. 24:12
Show your kindness to Your people, Lord, by giving success to the servants who are presenting this case before our Supreme Court Justices. Give them favor in the presence of these judges. Please give these judges success in discerning justice. May they know and do Your will so that righteousness may rule in our land and so that Your will may be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Praying in agreement! Father God, reminder of your word, Matthew 18:19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will de done for them by my Father in heaven. There are many in agreement here! We lift our hands to you Father and give you honor and praise and we cry Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty, the One who was, Is and Is to come! We give you all the Glory!!!!
There is no such thing as a Mandate. Call it a There’s a policy, a measure, a request etc. Don’t call it a mandate. Stop giving power where power doesn’t exist. There are laws. Only congress can pass law. Laws are the only thing that can compel your behavior. The president cannot authorize a government agency to carry out a request (policy, measure etc). A governor cannot mandate or tell you what to do. Religious exemptions must be accepted. You don’t ask for permission for an exemption, you notify the employer of your religious exemption. An employer including the government is bound by Title VII, The US Civil Rights Act, The Nuremburg Codes et al. Everyone facing this draconian mandate needs to know your rights so you know how to fight and win. this is not an endorsement, but the only comprehensive place I found that not only educated provided the resources to fight for my freedom and keep it. Please go to TheHealthyAmerican.org and learn. Peggy Hall has helped thousands of people from the airlines to those in government and military get exemptions. My daughter is a nurse and found her information and resources are invaluable. I’ve never once worn a mask to go in any place of business including government and doctor’s offices. For those that took it under duress, try https://principia-scientific.com/vaccine-regret-what-to-do-if-youve-already-had-a-covid-jab/
When you know your rights you can walk tall in your unalienable right of freedom endowed to us by our Creator, not Government.
God bless the USA and its Citizens.
Thank Ufor your comment
More need to read it
We need to know what our freedoms are and why…
It is to late for my daughter she has been forced to take the jab or lose her job she takes care of 5 persons as a single mom, she couldn’t be without her job. I’m scared for her she has so many health problems so if she can’t work there is no help, plus she will lose everything! She had to have the jab before Friday. So this didn’t help at all. Now I have the stress of her maybe getting sick or less face it maybe die! I thought Indiana was better then this, their not for the people at all.
I am from Indiana..I am a Surgical Tech ( and a US Navy veteran Hospital Corpsman).. I was TERMINATED by TRINTY HEALTH (St. Joseph Regional Medical Center) for not getting the “snakebite”..I was denied Religious exemption AND unemployment..at 62yrs of age I am trusting in God my Saviour..Mark 4:22 , Psalm 91 ,Psalm 37…
John 8:44 – You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Father, we pray for Truth in the innermost parts. For those blinded by the god of this age to see that they are being manipulated by lies. May the Supreme Court uphold the Constitution that You approved. I ask that you would send your angels to watch over Truth!
Praying for our freedoms and protection.
Father, You desire TRUTH in our inmost parts. We ask that You – the Way, the Truth and the Life- will hold sway in that Supreme Court hearing. Thank for for each member and their willingness to hear and resolve these constitutional questions in a timely fashion. Bring the fear of the Lord and unity. Allow the lawyers presenting the cases to have great wisdom in articulating the core issues. Bring liberty to all!
Amen and Amen Father God, let truth prevail. We give you praise, thanks and glory for all you are and all you do.
