The Department of Justice announced Tuesday evening the Biden administration will appeal Monday’s ruling by a federal judge in Florida that struck down mask mandates for air and Amtrak travel.
“The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal, subject to CDC’s conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health. The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve,” DOJ released in a statement. “On April 13, 2022, before the district court’s decision, CDC explained that the order would remain in effect while it assessed current public health conditions, and that the Transportation Security Administration would extend its directive implementing the order until May 3 to facilitate CDC’s assessment.”
“If CDC concludes that a mandatory order remains necessary for the public’s health after that assessment, the Department of Justice will appeal the district court’s decision,” the statement concludes.
Earlier today President Joe Biden was asked about the mandate and said the decision about whether to wear a mask while traveling is a personal choice. His new Wuhan coronavirus advisor pushed for the reinstatement of the mandate.
Dems are much better at solving fake problems than real ones.

Buy-DUNG has no choice to appeal.
Transportation masking is his only real accomplishment.
Other than energy dependence, disgrace in Afghanistan, emboldening of our enemies, erasure of the southern border, rampant inflation, chronic shortages of goods....
Especially since it was issued by a Judge appointed by that mean-Tweeting DJT who had clerked for that eeeeeeeevil Clarence Thomas!
Many a true word spoken in jest.
The Admin assumes the virus will be back in the fall. They're probably be right - viruses gonna virus. If so, if uncontested, the CDC will do their silly stuff again with impunity come Sept-Dec.
This ruling effectively blocks the CDC from cranking up the mandates, right into time for the midterms. The Admin has to fight it, in order to keep this madness going.
keep it up, keep it up, keep it up till november...
The holes in the mask are about 100 times bigger than air born Coronavirus.
I don't have any bridges for sale
But have a ton of chain link fencing for mosquito control.
There would be disposal boxes all over to dispose of contaminated masks.
Too late. That train left the station.
NO~!
This is how it works.
The Executive Branch goes to the CDC to prop up their decision to MASK people.
The CDC, obliges by saying MASKS are required.
The Executive Branch then blames CDC for the inconvenience.
Rinse and repeat as needed.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, you can’t depend on the judicial system to do what’s right.
CONTROL!!!
Its. No apostrophe.
“Many a true word spoken in jest.”
Many an imbecilic statement spoken in general. Why it’s always prudent to identify sarcasm with an (S) for clarity.
What happened to the sawed-off medical demon?
Fine, then prove scientifically the absolute efficacy of masks, all masks that people are wearing. They can't, there are no facts like that on their side.
They are a mentally ill bunch, aren't they? All to try and steal another election with mail-in voting where the broad noses stuff the ballot boxes in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Philly.
