Texas AG Paxton wins injunction against Biden vaccine mandate for federally-funded healthcare workers
Fox News
A U.S. District Court has granted the state of Texas an injunction against the Biden administration’s move to require healthcare workers to be vaccinated.
"A federal agency has no power to act absent Congressional power conferring it such authority," the ruling from Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, reads. "The APA requires courts to ‘hold unlawful and set aside agency action’ found to be ‘in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right.’ 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), (C). Therefore, ‘to permit an agency to expand its power in the face of a congressional limitation on its jurisdiction would be to grant the agency power to override Congress.’"
