Paul's crusade to end the mask mandate began with introducing the Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act in July 2021. While the bill was unsuccessful, it paved the way for the eventual end of the mask mandate. What the senator considered a "bureaucratic power grab," many Democrats considered a necessity to combat the spread of COVID-19. Ultimately, so far, the courts have sided with Paul. The Biden administration's Department of Justice filed an appeal on the ruling last week.
Last month, Paul forced a vote in the Senate on his resolution to repeal the travel mask mandate. It passed with bipartisan support in a 57-40 vote.
Paul should be commended for his efforts, especially given the polarization surrounding mask-wearing. But perhaps more importantly, Paul should be commended for calling out the fearmongering by Democrats and the Biden administration surrounding the pandemic. They pursued authoritative measures with questionable efficacy instead of providing alternative options for protection during the pandemic. Whether it was being censored by Big Tech or diligently working to end the federal mask mandates, the senator always championed liberty over despotic decrees.

Rand Paul is one of a few common sense Senators.
This is actually part of congress’ role.
If the supreme court doesn’t go the right way or if the “4th branch of government” issues a bad rule, congress can make a law to preempt that act.
But congress is too lazy for that. They’d rather spend their time trying to figure out how to rape the taxpayer and line their pockets.
I had a friend attend a trade conference in Denver last week and had to prove vax status. All the cruises still require vaccines. There is still a lot of harassment and segregation and service refusal over vaccines.
Took him long enough.
“Took him long enough.”
Amen!
Which Cruise Lines Require COVID-19 Vaccinations?
Boy, is that ripe for a lawsuit.

Paging Sen. Paul...

The writer missed Ron Paul’s main point: Only congress may write laws. The judge affirmed Paul’s claim.
Good for Ron Paul and the judge.
The writer needs to revisit this entire episode and get it right.
