Two dozen state AGs have signed on to a letter to Biden challenging the mandate – specifically those from South Carolina, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.
“We’re obviously preparing for what the president said he wanted to do, which seems to be clearly beyond his authority,” Attorney General Dave Yost (R-Ohio) told the “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins” program on Thursday. “It’s important to note that we don’t have a regulation yet, so we don’t have anything to bring to court to sue about, [and] you can’t sue over a press release.”
That being said, Yost suspects that there are “multiple grounds that could be raised here, starting with the fact that Congress writes the laws, not the president.”
