Travel Mask Mandate Ends

 The show-rolling horror show that we have endured for the past two years may finally be coming to an end.  One of the last governmental over-reach was ended yesterday by a federal judge who struck down the mandate that kept people masked on public transportation.

Upon receipt of the order, TSA folded up like a cheap pocket knife.  I'm sure that it is a great  relief to them to be able to stop enforcing what was clearly a bullshit directive.

The order is here.

The one takeaway from the Court's ruling is that even if he government acts with the best of intentions during a public health emergency, it cannot go beyond the limits that the legislature sets on the governments authority.  The mask mandate was unlawful at its inception and remains unlawful.  The White House and the CDC never had the authority or impose a mask mandate, even at the beginning, and they do not have that authority now.

I'm disappointed that it took courts so long to make this ruling.
No legislature anywhere in the country approved any CVD restrictions, and in fact many voted against them...
