Judge Winston Charles Gilchrist mandated that everyone in his courtroom wear a mask.>>>>
Judges have a fairly wide discretionary power to regulate the decorum and format of their own courts......BUT this one is a bridge too far.
The good judge has gone off his rocker and has really opened himself to a question of what is constitutionally reasonable.If Hahn has any difficultu breathing or getting oxygen then there would be no question that the Judge is way out of line.
I’d like to see this idiot judge mandate that every one appearing in his court roomwear pink full body Halloween kangaroo suits, just to see what happens.
But the mask mandate has to show a clear connection between
risk and personal infection within the court. I do not believe that the judge can make that connection as a mater if fact.His mandadte violates the pesonal choice of citizens as to whenetehr they wear a mask or not. Its simply not his choice to make.
We shall see; when other JUDGES rule on this action.
