Illinois judge blocks school mask mandate, state to appeal

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A central Illinois judge has issued a temporary restraining order that prevents school districts statewide from requiring students to wear masks in classrooms, saying Gov. J.B. Pritzker overstepped his legal authority with a mask mandate that has angered many parents and teachers alike.

In a ruling issued Friday in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of parents and teachers, Sangamon County Circuit Judge Raylene Grischow also determined that several more of Pritzker’s emergency orders to combat the spread of COVID-19, including one issued last year that mandates vaccinations for school employees, are “null and void.”

“This court acknowledges the tragic toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken, not only on this state but throughout the nation and globe,” Grischow wrote in a ruling that affects 146 Illinois school districts, including the public school system in Chicago. “Nonetheless, it is the duty of the Courts to preserve the rule of law and ensure that all branches of government act within the boundaries of the authority granted under the Constitution.”

“Pritzker’s emergency orders to combat the spread of COVID-19, including one issued last year that mandates vaccinations for school employees, are “null and void.””

This is good because now those people forced to get the vaccine can ask their doctor to remove the vaccine.

Or they can just go back in time so that they never got it, maybe the judge could issue an order to specifically permit this.

The tyrants aren't going to give up their self-anointed vast powers without a fight ... so give the b@stards one they'll remember.

This is not even about The Virus anymore ... it's just about power ... only power.

Actually not a bad idea... All school kids wear burkas. They can breath and no one would know if they’re wearing a mask or not. Any attempt to check would be a racist assault. 😷

And yet CPS says they’ll continue all mitigation measures regardless of the ruling. They won’t see consequences either, and they know it.

“Nonetheless, it is the duty of the Courts to preserve the rule of law and ensure that all branches of government act within the boundaries of the authority granted under the Constitution.”

***********************************************************

I suppose it’s possible that Judge Raylene Grischow actually believes the statement she wrote above. Highly doubtful but possible.

The TRUTH is though that the judiciary is majorly corrupt and uses various tools in a judges tool box to sidestep big cases and throw smaller cases. 52 times courts refused to even listen to evidence in the 2020 election. The “tool” they used to “sidestep” responsibility under the Constitution was “standing”. The Court System, the FBI and the DOJ have ALL degenerated into institutions that are no longer trusted by the American people.

It was standing, laches, then moot. Had never heard of laches before, but the Marxists had and used it effectively.

Laches Law and Legal Definition | USLegal, Inc.

Laches is the legal doctrine that an unreasonable delay in seeking a remedy for a legal right or claim will prevent it from being enforced or allowed if the delay has prejudiced the opposing party. The doctrine is an equitable defense that seeks to prevent “legal ambush” from a party who is negligent in failing to timely make a claim.

************************************************************

Just asking, how did the “liberals” argue “unreasonable delay”? All 52 courts washed their dirty hands of the case within about a year. A “year” in the American judiciary is routine. I fought a multi billion dollar company for 15 years and won.

I’m just wondering if somehow Roberts put out the word through the judicial grapevine (meaning no texts, no phone calls, no emails, no handwritten notes) that he did not want this case even hold a hearing on evidence.

Pre-election legal claims were dismissed using Standing, then immediately after the election claims were dismissed using Laches (failure to assert rights), then as time passed courts ruled the election was certified so any outstanding claim was Moot. All of which was a planned legal strategy by the left.

Do an internet search on “Biden 600 Lawyers”. Mark Elias ran the operation.
