Why Trump-appointed judge’s mask decision is particularly disastrous
CNN ^ | April 20, 2022 | Jill Filipovic

I absolutely hate wearing a mask on long flights. I’m also appalled that masks are no longer required for air travel and on other forms of public transit.

On Monday, a federal judge in Florida ruled that the Biden administration’s public transportation mask mandate was unenforceable. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle held, overstepped its authority in issuing the directive requiring masks on airplanes and other forms of mass transit.

This latest decision will only make it worse – after all, the people who refuse vaccines are also more likely to take a series of other risks, including refusing to mask up and going to large, crowded events.


You gosh darn risk takers.

What part of “overstepped their authority” did they miss?

(Oh... all of it).

Well, Karen, like I always say, “Opinions vary. Thanks soooo much for sharing yours.” 🤣

It was the right decision - a district judge cannot create laws for the entire country, let alone her district.

Well, the disaster that is CNN is apparently going on the premise that they know disasters well.

The funny thing is, if you believe in the virus, you’ve already got your shot. And you can certainly continue to wear your silly mask. So now what are you worried about?

“a series of other risks”, eh?

Did this author write articles blasting Pelosi and other prominent Dems for telling people to “come on out” to large crowds? Blasting Biden for calling Trump xenophobic for putting in restrictions on travel? Blasting Dem governors for putting COVID patients in nursing homes?

And have masks been shown to have any effect? No...not unless you are actively coughing or sneezing and it stops the spew of droplets. That’s it. Normal breathing - no. (I actually saw a woman the other day pull her mask down to cough)

And if the behavior is so risky approaching 3 years they’ve likely already been infected and recovered at least once if not more. Getting vaccines for the 2019 version of the virus for the current strains has very little impact on actual transmission as has already been stated.

This article is bull crap.

There is no scienc ewhich supports that masks will reduce or prevent infection with Covid 19, Look all over the CDC site and you will see NO science supporting mask mandates. Au contraire, it increaes the levels of CO2 in ones blood and this inhibits development in children.

Its all about social control.

We have had flue seasons where people had pretty severe infections year after year in the past going back over 20 years. WHERE WERE THE MASK MANDATES?

The Judges decision was a reall well written opinion, over 20 pages. The mower to mandate health reegimes lies withthe states, not the federal government. And thats it , period.

Exhibit 999 for why CNN is going under.

An interesting dilemma for Biden. On the one hand this ruling should be overturned on appeal without too much trouble. On the other hand they are appealing an order striking down an increasing unpopular government mandate. I suspect that they’ll let the CDC end the mask mandate in the near future while the appeal is ongoing and hope it’s a win/win.

The news media has always been disproportionately left wing, but when did it suddenly fill up with 20-30 something know-nothing activist twits?

Once again the media doesn’t care to actually read the opinion. It does not say that the CDC lacks authority. It says the CDC lacks the authority to ignore the APA and avoid notice and comment rule making.

It doesn’t say you CAN’T wear a mask it says you DON’T HAVE TO wear one.....if those precious shots are sooooo effective what’s there to worry about?

It’s all about control and compliance anyway and these types of reactions are proof of that.

Not a word in this ponderous and pretentious article whether the judge’s decision was legally correct.

And this judge is out of Florida......which makes it especially painful for the lunatic left.

Another aspect of this is that a district court judge is striking it down nation wide, which they should not do. But this is the fruit of liberals judge shopping for someone who will write an opinion striking down a statute or regulation nationwide when the liberals approve of striking it down. They can’t then scream, “The judge only has authority in his own judicial district!”
