On January 21, federal district judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown blocked the Biden mandate requiring federal employees to get COVID vaccinations. We will first look at the legal issues and then at Judge Brown. Judge Brown brushed aside jurisdictional issues that normally keep individual federal judges from prematurely taking charge of federal workforce disputes. The Judge naturally cited the Supreme Court’s decision to end OSHA’s private workplace vaccination mandate. All this suggests that Judge Brown is not your regular neutral objective federal judge, but might have some political attitudes.
