President Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 was blocked Thursday by a federal appeals court.
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.
COVID vaccines A New Orleans court rejected the Biden administration's COVID vaccine mandate for federal employees.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed to the District Court for the Southern District of Texas by Trump, issued a nationwide injunction against the requirement the following January.
Judges Carl Stewart and James Dennis, both nominated to the court by President Bill Clinton, were in the majority.
The 16 active judges heard the case on Sept. 13, joined by Barksdale, who is now a senior judge with lighter duties than the full-time members of the court.
