Federal appeals court affirms stay on Biden vaccine mandate for businesses
In a 22-page ruling on Friday , the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the mandate was "fatally flawed," and barred the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from enforcing the mandate "pending adequate judicial review" of a motion for permanent injunction.
OSHA shall "take no steps to implement or enforce the mandate until further court order," the ruling stated.
The mandate, which was supposed to take effect Jan. 4, requires business with at least 100 employees to mandate their workers get vaccinated or undergo frequent testing.
The ruling comes after the New Orleans-based appeals court issued a stay on the order last Saturday. That ruling came after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) filed a challenge to the mandate directly to the court, along with the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and South Carolina.

Now I wonder what this does for those states under democrat control who have their state mandates based upon the presidents mandate?
The judges in upholding the stay clearly ruled that the president doesn't have the authority do do such under the constitution....
The mandate is stayed until a full court can issue an order explaining why he doesn't....
Hey maybe the courts are finally coming around to the widespread over-reaching this administration is doing...
