Some challenges have been brought in other circuits. What to watch: The 5th Circuit will not be the only court to rule on the mandate, the New York Times writes. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called the ruling a "massive victory" on Twitter. "The Department will continue to vigorously defend the standard and looks forward to obtaining a definitive resolution following consolidation of all of the pending cases for further review," the statement added.What they're saying: "Today’s decision is just the beginning of the process for review of this important OSHA standard," the DOJ said in a statement to Axios. Plaintiffs who brought the case include Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. The court initially paused the rule's implementation over the weekend.Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit acknowledged the pandemic is "tragic and devastating," but said the administration has not proved "COVID-19 poses the kind of emergency that allows OSHA to take the extreme measure." Why it matters: Under the rule, companies with 100 or more workers must mandate vaccination or regular testing by Jan. A Biden administration rule requiring large companies to mandate COVID vaccines for employees or impose weekly testing is "staggeringly overbroad" and "grossly exceeds statutory authority," a federal appeals court said Friday in an order to keep the rule on hold.
