Sixth Circuit wins lottery for litigation involving OSHA rule implementing President Biden’s large-employer vaccine mandate

The Sixth Circuit won today’s lottery for litigation involving OSHA rule implementing President Biden’s large-employer vaccine mandate. The Sixth Circuit is generally considered a more conservative bench, signaling the probability it may affirm the Fifth Circuit’s freeze on that rule. The Sixth Circuit is staffed by 20 Republican-appointed judges and 6 Democratic-appointments, with a third of its active judges approximately having been appointed by President Trump.
