The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday ordered a temporary halt of President Biden’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 employees or more, saying there are "grave statutory and constitutional” issues with the rule. The ruling came in a challenge to the mandate from the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and South Carolina, The Hill reports. A similar challenge was filed Friday in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III and six other attorneys general.
