Group of 23 states tells US court: CDC lacks authority to set transit mask rules

Dated: August 10, 2022 by Sharyl Attkisson 1 Comment

      

The following is an excerpt from Reuters.

A group of 23 state attorneys general led by Florida told a federal court on Monday that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lacks the legal authority to impose a nationwide transportation mask mandate to address Covid-19.

The CDC sought "an unprecedented masking mandate regulating every breath of millions of Americans," said the brief in support of the group that sued to overturn the mask mandate.

The group, which included Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Texas and Virginia, urged the appeals court to reject the CDC "overreach."

A group of 17 Republican U.S. lawmakers including Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie also filed a brief Monday arguing the CDC lacked the authority to impose masking requirements.

The CDC issued a mask mandate in January 2021 days after President Joe Biden became president after his predecessor Donald Trump had rejected the idea.

In May, the U.S. Justice Department asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a U.S. District Court judge's April order that declared the government mandate requiring masks on airplanes, buses, trains, ride-share vehicles and in transit hubs unlawful.

The Justice Department told the appeals court in May the CDC order issued in January 2021 was "within" the agency's legal authority.

Hours after the federal judge in Florida declared the mandate unlawful, the Biden administration said it would no longer enforce it.

    The entire free world is presently under attack- the mask mandate was an experiment on mass population control. The WEF, United Nations, CDC and yes the President & The US House of Representatives are all on China's payroll. The Biblical phrase "Money is the Root of all Evil" is as true today as it was then.
