A group headed by former Vice President Mike Pence has asked the Supreme Court to halt President Joe Biden’s mandate forcing large businesses to require their employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or endure frequent testing.

Pence’s group, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the emergency application filed by the National Federation of Independent Business, American Trucking Associations Inc., National Retail Federation, and other business organizations, which the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Jan. 7.
