Individual freedom just scored a huge victory. Last weekend, a court of appeals ruled what we already know. Joe Biden overstepped his authority with his vaccine mandate. No more jobs will be threatened by the administration over coronavirus vaccination status, for now. I applaud those who stood up to Biden's vaccine mandate in court. But the fight isn't over, Mr. Speaker. It is clearly not over. Biden's far- left Justice Department is plotting a legal assault to revive the mandate. Those of us who value personal liberty cannot be content with one court ruling. More action is necessary, Mr. Speaker. My bill, the Keeping our COVID-19 Heroes Employed Act, which is sponsored in the Senate by Senator Marsha Blackburn, also from Tennessee, would further protect American workers by forbidding certain employers from firing unvaccinated employees. We need to ban Biden's vaccine mandate because it is unconstitutional, Mr. Speaker, but also because of the crippling effect it will have on our economy. For example, supply chain jobs will be lost if Biden's vaccine mandate takes effect. A labor shortage in the supply chains means it takes longer to move products to America's storefronts, Mr. Speaker. The costs of keeping up with demand is passed to consumers in the form of higher prices. If Biden gets his way, it will devastate our struggling economy and steal paychecks from hardworking Americans, Mr. Speaker.…
