5th CIRCUIT COURT VACCINE MANDATE UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKES LIBRTY AWAY

three-judge panel in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals slammed Biden's ends-justifies-the-means approach. The Constitution limits what the federal government can make people do, even in emergencies.

It's in the public's interest, Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt wrote, to protect "our constitutional structure and" maintain "the liberty of individuals to make intensely personal decisions according to their own convictions -- even, or perhaps particularly, when those decisions frustrate government officials."

And exasperate their liberal media allies. CNN bashed the Fifth Circuit as "notoriously conservative." Vox dismissed it as a "right-wing panel." Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus slammed the judges' "stingy vision of the federal government's powers" and threw up her hands: "Maintaining our constitutional structure? How about saving lives?"
