Texas Governor Imposes Mandate Banning All Covid-19 Mandates (Congress, status, amendment)

[Member1]

Isn't this technically also a Covid-19 mandate?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bans any COVID-19 vaccine mandates — including for private employers - Texas Tribune

But president Pudding will mandate the mandate to his mandate.

"The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, & our best defense against the virus, but should always remain voluntary & never forced," he said in a tweet announcing his latest order."

Interesting, but I thought the supremacy clause would overrule this? Sounds like quite a court fight is on the horizon.

I find it quite humorous that a guy who issued numerous Covid mandates is now telling people they can't issue their own Covid mandates.

"Only I can rule over you peons! Do as I say, not as I do!"

If congress actually passed a law... A mandate from the governor holds more weight as he can punish corporations.
It is a clear 10th amendment issue.
