People to continue to get vaccinated as part of this but we re managing our hospital capacity very successfully in the state with the tools that we provided with the staffing emergency. chris: so i asked you a question at the top. i asked you why it was so objectionable. you answered that. you didn t answer the other question. let s finish with that. what are you going to do about president biden s vaccine mandates? yeah, so i ve been talking to my attorney general. he s coordinating with the other attorneys general across the country who share similar views about the overreach. this is egregious overreach of federal authority and as we see what the rules are we ll be able to know exactly how we ll be able to challenge them in court. i m also talking with my colleagues around the country as well, the other governors who feel the way i do and we ll be working on other strategies but i ve got to tell you, i ve heard from so many workers, so many small businesses who say this is just no
Of the law, and it s why governor de santis said we re going to have a fetal heartbeat law but we won t use the enforcement mechanism they have in texas. a number in the pro life movement are concerned about the enforcement mechanism as well. chris: susan, i want to ask you, why would the justice department announce it s going to sue even before there s a case, even before there is a case that we know of where an abortion provider gave a woman an abortion after the six week deadline, why would they decide to sue so preemptively. legal ingenuity on both sides with this one, this peculiar and unique law tries to avoid court review by empowering citizens rather than officials to enforce it and that s been a challenge for those who might traditionally bring a suit against this law and i think that s why the justice department has stepped in. legal ingenuity on the justice department s part as well on
