NEW ORLEANS — President Joe Biden’s order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 was blocked Thursday by a federal appeals court.
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected arguments that Biden, as the nation’s chief executive, has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated.
The ruling from the full appeals court, 16 full-time judges at the time the case was argued, reversed an earlier ruling by a three-judge 5th Circuit panel that had upheld the vaccination requirement. Judge Andrew Oldham, nominated to the court by then-President Donald Trump, wrote the opinion for a 10-member majority.

Good news 10 out of 16
Thems good odds!
Keep ‘em coming.
No mo’ jab-o-death!
In chambers all 10 judges said in unison “Malarkey!”
So are members of the armed forces considered “government workers “?

Good question. I suspect we will know more tomorrow as he legal eagles dissect the ruling.
Good
Yes
However they give up constitutional rights and are under the USMJ, not regular courts. So that’s the twist there.
What will the diversity hire Press Secretary have to say about this tomorrow? Or will she just lecture the members about asking the wrong questions and end the press conference.
We need an email list to call them heroic. Something for their progeny.
Yes, they should be thanked for making a good decision.
👍❗️
If this ruling holds up democrats will have to devise a new tactic to persecute and kill off conservative government
employees and members of the military before the 2024 election.....
Do you mean 17? From the Fifth Cir. opinion: "Before Richman, Chief Judge, and Jones, Smith, Barksdale, Stewart, Dennis, Elrod, Southwick, Haynes, Graves, Higginson, Willett, Ho, Duncan, Engelhardt, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges."
Trump locked us down, gave big pharma billions, restricted travel unless you’re an unvetted Syrian.. no gatherings of more than 10 unless you’re burning cities.
A bumpstock ban cuz what 2A.
To ensure perpetual tyranny he gave us mail in ballots.
Call me names… or face the truth and defend his record.
More name calling and flaming instead of rational debate shows you have nothing.
Bringing truckloads of water, but refusing to tell us one thing. The EUA is very specific. I printed it out in 2020.
It is either an abuse of trumps power or… it is duly authorized. Only one of these two possibilities.
His silence on the vax EUA is very telling.
Leaders of men admit wrong and correct course. Progressives stay wrong because that is the only way to get to the goal.
I was going on this:
“...The ruling from the full appeals court, 16 full-time judges at the time the case was argued”
So the Cheif voted too?
Justice...even when it happens in this country and it is happening less and less, is too slow.
“So are members of the armed forces considered “government workers “?”
The government pays them, so yes, they are government employees.
Thankfully under the UCMJ there’s no obligation to follow unlawful orders.
Never-Trumpers are blind leading the blind. I can see a never-biden voter, but what did Pres Trump ever implement that wasn’t thoroughly conservative?
I can see preferring others more, but I just don’t understand the “never” part of their thinking given the president’s solid record.
Actually, the judges nominated by President Trump removed two of the main reasons for conservative political opposition.
Guns are now legal all over the land and abortions are limited to such utopian states that do not value human life.
