A federal US appeals court has paused President Joe Biden's plans to mandate vaccines for private businesses with more than 100 employees
Decisions like these usually apply to states, in this case Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, but Mr Landry said the judges offered a national scope in this case.
"This is a great victory for the American people out there. Never before has the federal government tried in a such a forceful way to get between the choices of an American citizen and their doctor," he said.Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerAt least 27 states have challenged the mandate in circuit courts - some of which have a more conservative view, following judicial appointments by the former president, Donald Trump.
Vaccine uptake, as with many other parts of the world, has been widely encouraged by Joe Biden's government, with the administration saying it is confident its mandate will be upheld because it pre-empted state laws. The court, which is based in New Orleans, said the delay to the mandate was because of potential"grave statutory and constitutional issues" raised by the plaintiffs.
Mr Biden's government must now offer a reply to the court if it is to keep its vaccine mandate alive.
