If only it applied to the Military as well. We are going to lose so many pilots and Navy Seals, soldiers alike who won't get the shot. They are under their own court system. The ones who have applied for religious exemption received a formed letter not excusing them (that alone is illegal as each one is to have an individual response reply) and many do need a medical exemption. This is not counting the ones who just don't want it. There are thousands. Are we ready to lose that many military people? My son-in-law has been in the Marines for 18 years and instructs pilots on how to fly F-35's. He may be discharged without any pension or benefits. We just pray for an honorable discharge and not the Brig or dishonorable discharge. 18 years of his family (4 children) serving this country and this is how we treat them? Not to mention how much taxpayers have paid for his training? I believe his helmet alone is a half-million dollar. The children change communities every three years! I'm disgusted by the way the Military is being treated and where it's going with progressive BS.

The Fifth Circuit picked a good hill to defend, not die on.

My personal hope is that SCOTUS slaps it down the same way it did the CDC mandate - if there is going to be a nationwide vaccination requirement, then congress needs to pass a law. Here they should go one step further and say the state legislative bodies must do it. And as a final step, the government, at any level, can’t take private property to achieve its goal - not to promote unions and not to promote public health objectives. If the states want to mandate some vaccine, they can’t force the cost and enforcement on private businesses…..

This "work-around" should not survive, based on all precedents.

Yes. They think they can outfox the judiciary.

... and they can by refusing to enforce the court's ruling. Obama did it, so why not Zhou? Constitution - Law of the Land - not when it disagrees with Progressive goals.

But the courts would refuse to enforce OSHA rulings. It works in reverse.
