BREAKING: Federal judge strikes down mask mandates for public transportation

While you wear your ma's soiled panties.

People celebrated being able to remove their masks on flights. It's cathartic for a lotta people. Just goes to show you what the average American thinks about this nonsense and how out of touch leftists are with this sentiment.

Now that we have our freedoms back, I can't wait to attack all of the COVID virtue-signalers who still wear the diapers. Elderly people, the immunocompromised, and parents of young children: get ready for me to SCREAM IN YOUR FACES, LIB WIMPS!!!!

Actually you'll find the majority of them are triple-jabbed Biden-voters. So yes, I'll be mocking them.

Roy, arent you be supposed to be leading a seminar right now for 5 year olds on the joys of surgically changing your gender, or was that tomorrow?

I do remember it was the day before your instructional speech to the kindergartners on how to m*sturbate

Wait -- I thought that the whole conservative refrain was that people should be able to choose whether to wear a mask or not. So now that you've got what you want, you are going to make fun of them for making the best choice for themselves? Could it be that it was never actually about choice, then?

If people ask you why you are still wearing a mask, tell them you have covid.

Fun stuff.

You are aware that the great majority of those testing positive these days are vaccinated, and very few who aren't vaccinated are testing positive, right?

Such a tough guy.

And Trumpers whined incessantly about nationwide injunctions. What's your point?

it shows average Americans are idiots plain and simple.

For many, the mask issue was not about freedom. Instead it was one of their culture grievance issues fulled by Q-Anon and other grifters that the virus was deep state, blah, blah, blah...

When you see people's reaction to lifting the mandates it shows you which ones were neck deep into the crazy. I predict harassment and intimidation in the near future of those that keep wearing masks. This too will tell you about the people that are doing it. It is not about freedom to these nutz.

They shouldn't be required. You wanna take that risk, I'm not gonna stop you. If there's an enforceable rule about masking, then just follow it. It was/is such a minor inconvenience for air travel. Seeing people give flight attendants such grief for enforcing the rules was ridiculous.

Few points (not all directed at you):

- Judges have been issuing nationwide injunctions for a long time. They used to be quite rare, and are now becoming almost routine. There's been a lot of criticism of such injunctions, but there isn't much appellate precedent either way.

- Your point that a judge can't enjoin someone outside of her district (or rather someone over whom she does not have personal jurisdiction) isn't really relevant here. The government was a party to this litigation, so the injunction wasn't binding a non-party.

- The decision does bind the government in its treatment of other people who weren't a party to this lawsuit, though. That's what's controversial. It's essentially a backdoor way of getting class action treatment without the procedural safeguards of Rule 23. It also seems to allow one district judge to exercise supervisory authority over other district judges. Because district court rulings are not precedential, they are only supposed to bind the parties to the actual controversy.

I'm personally pretty skeptical that judges have the legal authority to issue nationwide injunctions, though I think the limitation comes from the rules of civil procedure rather than the Constitution (a view I share with Stephen Sachs). At this point, higher courts need to step in if they think this is a problem because it's become very widespread. Notably, there hasn't been much talk about the flipside of nationwide injunctions, which is that historically the government would often (perhaps usually) voluntarily comply with a district court decision nationwide, at least until it was reversed on appeal.

And we will laugh and laugh and laugh every time a conservative pundit, Republican state representative, or right wing talk show host dies from this virus because...freedom or something. GET READY FOR US TO MOCK YOU AT YOUR FUNERALS AND PISS ON YOUR GRAVES, GOP SCREAMERS!!!!

Seriously, grow the hell up! Regardless of politics, everyone that dies from COVID was loved and is missed by someone. Rooting for deaths, threatening to infect or terrorize people, and being an a-hole based on political affiliation is both childish and sociopathic.

I'm sure there there will be crazy people, just like there are crazy pro Mask people that go nuts and confront those that are maskless now. But the majority do not care of you wear a mask, or 3 masks.. you do you buddy.. Most will not care AT ALL. It's ProChoice.. look it up.

You should check out the Advisory Opinions podcast as this was discussed a few days ago.

This is the best thing that can happen for the Dems because they can blame the courts for lifting the mask mandate without alienating their fear based constituency.
