"A bad decision by a left-leaning panel (Bush and Obama judges) of the 6th Cir," Paxton tweeted. "It’s un-American to force an unconst vax mandate on private biz, forcing people to choose b/w unemployment & an irreversible med procedure. I will immediately take this to SCOTUS to seek a reversal."

Under the President's mandate, companies with more than 100 employees must require workers to be vaccinated or get tested weekly for COVID-19.
