5th Circuit Blocks Fed Contractor Vax Mandate; Suit Against CT’s Freedom of Information Commission

Fifth Circuit Blocks Federal Contractor Vaccine Mandate

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld a lower court's ruling blocking the Biden administration's Covid-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors. In a 2-1 decision, the court said the mandate could be interpreted to give President Joe Biden “nearly unlimited authority to introduce requirements into federal contracts.” NCLA represents clients in James Joseph Rodden, et al. v. Dr. Anthony Fauci, et al., a similar class-action lawsuit seeking to overturn the vaccine mandate imposed on federal workers.
