Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor, Governor Kevin Stitt, the state of Oklahoma, and 16 members of the state’s National Guard are suing the Biden administration in an attempt to block the enforcement of its vaccine mandate for federal employees, deeming it unconstitutional and arguing that the mandate is tantamount to federal overreach.

In a complaint (pdf) filed on Thursday which names President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and dozens more federal officials and agencies as defendants, the state argued that the mandate violates the Constitution and has no legal basis.
