A court ruling is back in effect that blocks President Joe Biden from requiring federal employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
FILE - A health worker administers a dose of a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during a vaccination clinic in Norristown, Pa. on Dec. 7, 2021. In a reversal for President Joe Biden, a federal appeals court in New Orleans on Monday, June 27, 2022, agreed to reconsider its own April ruling that allowed the administration to require federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed to the District Court for the Southern District of Texas by then-President Donald Trump, issued a nationwide injunction against the requirement in January. At the time, the White House said 98% of federal workers were already vaccinated.In February, a 5th Circuit panel refused to block Brown’s ruling pending appeal.
Judges Carl Stewart and James Dennis, who were nominated to the 5th Circuit by Democratic President Bill Clinton, were in the majority. Judge Rhesa Barksdale, a senior judge nominated by Republican President George H.W. Bush, dissented, saying the relief the challengers sought does not fall under the Civil Service Reform Act cited by the administration.
