This has made all the Mask Cult very upset, because, see, they apparently do not think wearing a mask protects themselves, oh, no, you need to wear a mask. It’s all very, very silly
Biden admin suspends mask mandate for airports, buses after judge rules against CDC guidelines
The Biden administration on Monday suspended enforcement of its mask mandate for airports, planes and other forms of travel after a judge said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention overstepped its authority.
US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, an appointee of President Donald Trump, ruled that the CDC failed to properly explain its decision to impose the mandate or follow proper rulemaking procedures.
The Biden administration on Monday evening confirmed that travelers can ditch their masks pending a review of the ruling.
Um, we really do not need their permission to do so. Judge Mizelle ruled that the CDC did not have the authority to impose a mask mandate on everyone per the Constitution
“The agencies are reviewing the decision and assessing potential next steps. In the meantime, today’s court decision means CDC’s public transportation masking order is not in effect at this time,” an administration official said.
“Therefore, TSA will not enforce its Security Directives and Emergency Amendment requiring mask use on public transportation and transportation hubs at this time. CDC recommends that people continue to wear masks in indoor public transportation settings.”
Many airlines immediately stated they will not require masks, while others have made no announcements. Here’s the cool thing, mask Cultists: you can wear one if you want. Amazing, eh? Heck, I might consider wearing one if when I fly next Christmas, limiting exposure to the cold and flu. COVID? Not so much. Of course, airlines could require masks if they want, as a private business. I doubt they will.
There hasn’t been much regarding subways, train stations, buses, etc, yet.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Psaki to explain why masks on mass transit make sense when people haven’t had to wear masks at most indoor venues, including the White House briefing room, for nearly two months.
“This is based on health considerations and data that the CDC looks at about transmissibility, as we’ve seen an increase in cases on airplanes,” Psaki replied.
In other words, the Brandon admin really has no answer, they were just forcing masking for the hell of it, rather like letting illegals in without testing and such while requiring masks. Democrats are not taking it well, like this Massachusetts state rep
Today a federal judge called it overreach for US health officials to require masks on airplanes & other public transit, and no matter how you feel about masks, you should be really, really concerned that the Courts are effectively taking away power from the federal government.

Yeah, less teaching about stupid stuff in schools, more on How The U.S. Government Works
William Teach: Judge Mizelle ruled that the CDC did not have the authority to impose a mask mandate on everyone per the Constitution
That is incorrect. The mandate was found by the court to have exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority under the APA by exceeding the good cause exemption and by failing to adequately explain the rule. The court did not rule that a mask mandate would be unconstitutional.
The American Bar Association (ABA) rated the tRump-nominated, right-wing Kathryn Kimball Mizelle “Not Qualified” to be a federal trial judge. But the QOP confirmed her anyway.
This is why elections matter: had the judge been a lefty appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the odious and unnecessary mask mandate would have been upheld.
Despite Philadelphia’s separate indoor mask mandate, WPVI-TV sports reporter Jamie Apody tweeted a short video of fans at the Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers playoff game in which almost nobody in the very blue city — Joe Biden received 81.44% of the vote in Philly — was wearing a facemask.
The people are voting with their bare faces!
Funny, but scary-that Mass. State Rep who tweeted doesn’t t even know how the 3 branches of government work. Hello, rocket scientist -the judiciary is supposed to be a check on the legislative and Executive branches. 8th grade civics class material. I wonder who Ms. Sabadosa voted for…?
Funny, but scary. Ms. Sabadosa, a Mass. State Rep, (D. Rocket scientist) has no clue on how the separation of powers is supposed to work. The judiciary is supposed to be a check on the legislative and judicial branches. Wonder who she voted for…..?
Sorry for the duplicate posts..
