The Fight Over Biden’s Workplace Vaccine Mandate Is Transferred to a Cincinnati Court
The legal fight over the Biden administration’s workplace vaccine mandate was transferred to a Cincinnati-based federal appeals court Tuesday where experts say the administration may soon face an uphill climb as it seeks to have the mandate reinstated.
The move came after a Washington, D.C., judicial panel selected the court at random from the nation’s 12 regional federal appeals courts and combined the various legal challenges filed across the country into a single lawsuit.
The random drawing took place after the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked the workplace mandate, which requires businesses with at least 100 employees to have their workers either receive the COVID-19 vaccine or submit to regular testing and mask-wearing.
