One Month Reprieve 

Biden won an appeals court decision last Friday by a 2-1 vote in the 6th Appellate Court after getting a 3-0 blistering rebuke by the 5th.

Despite dubious legality that will be decided by the Supreme Court, Biden presses on  with a one-month extension to his mandate.

A federal appeals court Friday reinstated Biden administration rules that require many employers to ensure that their workers are vaccinated or tested weekly for Covid-19.

Following a federal appeals court ruling reinstating the administration's vaccination rules, the Labor Department said Friday night it would give employers until Feb. 9 to comply with the rule's testing requirements and until Jan. 10 to comply with the rest of it.

Employers who don't comply with the requirements could face penalties of up to around $13,600 a violation. The requirements don't apply to employees who don't report to a workplace where other individuals are present, employees who only work from home or employees who work exclusively outdoors.

Three Biden administration vaccination requirements have been challenged in courts around the country. One set of rules, applying to many healthcare workers, is already pending at the high court after the Biden administration on Thursday asked the justices to reinstate the requirements as lower courts put them on hold in parts of the country.
