The State of Maine is accused of “having its cake and eating it too” in a federal appeal filed in Boston last month that could have national implications for health care workers fired after being denied religious exemptions from COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

The appeal, filed on Jan. 24, is founded on the argument that federal and constitutional law trump state law and policies. It currently sits with the 1st Circuit of Appeals.
