A 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Biden cannot enforce Covid vaccine requirements on private workers. “The President’s use of procurement regulations to reach through an employing contractor to force obligations on individual employees is truly unprecedented,” according to the ruling, adding that it is “unlawful.” Noting Executive Order 14042, the court said, “Congress has not spoken clearly to authorize such a dramatic shift in the exercise of the President’s power under the Procurement Act.”

The vaccine mandate would affect up to 20 percent of people employed in the U.S., Reuters has noted. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, one of the plaintiffs in the case issued a statement asserting that “Today is a victory for freedom,” and vowing “We will continue to stand up against the Biden Administration’s abuses of power that threaten us now and in the future.”
