The USSC ruled years ago that masks are a state, not federal, issue. We should be seeking to strenghen and expand this ruling, not erase it.
This determination supports the rights of governors, like DeSantis and Abbott, to set the policies on masks, and vaccines and lockdowns for their individual states.
This determination is also part of the firewall around Joe Biden preventing him from imposing HIS policies on every citizen across all 50 states.
Please, be very wary of proclaiming this a federal issue -- you may get what you wish for.
The students of IU are not without recourse. The best arena for this debate and corrective action is the Statehouse, not the USSC.
Very valid points, RiV.
Very few Governors are advocating for their people.
When the State refuses to recognizes your rights, the Supreme Court is the recourse.
And their unwillingness to get involved is now a big issue, as we have seen in November.
Because now, with dangerous vaccines that do more harm than good, people’s lives are at stake.
