Federal appeals court upholds Connecticut’s repeal of religious vaccination exemption (Religion Clause)

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of the State of Connecticut’s 2021 repeal of a religious exemption from mandated vaccinations.

“Neither Supreme Court precedent nor this Court’s jurisprudence allows a court to so summarily cast aside the fundamental constitutional right of individuals to the free exercise of religion,” Judge Joseph Bianco wrote in his dissent from the 2-1 decision.
