MARC THIESSEN: NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS ‘FALLEN FROM GRACE’ AS FAST AS JOE BIDEN IN 2021
ASA HUTCHINSON: It’s a little bit ironic. I mean, whenever you see the federal mandates on vaccinations, they have in this administration utilized federal power rather extensively and that’s one of the things we’re in litigation about. So it’s a little bit inconsistent. But I also take it as a good faith statement to say we’ve got to get through this together in partnership. We can’t do it by the federal government alone. The president is absolutely right; he’s relied upon the states to get the job done. I’m just saying give us a greater deal of flexibility in terms of how to manage and don’t use the federal authority to take that away from us.
